Monday Update 1/6/20

Hello again little caterpillars!

We hope you’re all still staying safe and well and have had a great half term week.

This is our last half term together and this term we are going to be finding out all about animals from around the world. We will find out where they live, what they eat, and lots of other exciting animal facts!

Our topic is called “Which animal is the most amazing?” and at the end of this topic we’d like you to make up your own  mind about which animal you think is the most amazing and tell us why!

We’re going to start this week finding out all about farm animals that we might see nearby. Have you been for a walk along the cliffs and past the farm animals in the fields on the way to Shelford? Or maybe you’ve been on a bike ride down past the farm in Holme Pierrepont? There are lots of cows with their calves and sheep with their lambs for you to see. There are also lots of farm stories for you to enjoy. You can find them on Youtube, e.g. Farmer Duck, Rosie’s Walk, Farmyard Hullabaloo.

You can also have a fun time by visiting the farm web cam @follyfarm.co.uk, also have a look at the RSPCS website as they have a caring for farm animals section.

Anyway, have fun with this week’s activities. Don’t forget to keep sending us photos and emails so we can see what you’re doing each week.

Keep smiling and hope to see you soon

Hello again to our lovely little caterpillars,

We hope you're ready for another week of home learning?

This week we are going to be thinking about fruit! We will be reading the story of Handa's surprise and then there are lots of lovely activities you can have a go at. You might need your mummies and daddies to help you with some of the number activities this week.

I wonder what fruits you have at home? What other different fruits can you see at the supermarket?

Don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for stories from the teachers on the videos tab in children/ home learning.

I wonder who it'll be this week?

Enjoy a week of fun and fruit tasting.

Love from Mrs White, Miss McLoughlan and Mrs Flint

Monday update 11/5/20

Good morning everyone,

 We hope you are all well and have been enjoying the lovely sunshine over the weekend.

 Friday was a very special day as we celebrated the 75th anniversary of VE day. Did you decorate your house? Have a picnic on your drive? I know that your teachers had a lovely time.

Let us know if you did. You know how we love to hear from you.

This week we are looking at growing plants as part of our Spring topic.

You might want to listen to the story of "The Tiny Seed" on Youtube.

 How is your sunflower coming on? Can you spot any signs of it growing yet?

Remember to look put for the weekly story. I wonder who will be reading it this week?

Remember to let us know what you've been getting up to .

Have a great week and we miss you so much!

Monday Update 4/5/20

Hello again to all our little Caterpillars!

This week we will be exploring all the beautiful flowers that are around in the hedgerows and gardens at the minute. We really hope the weather stays nice enough for you to get outdoors and do some exploring.

Maybe even try to plant some flower seeds. If you would like some sunflower seeds to plant, please just pop to the school reception and help yourself to a little envelope. Who will grow the biggest sunflower?

We would really love to hear from you and see some photos of the things you’ve been doing at home. Send your photos and emails to us nursery@rotins.notts.sch.uk

Hello again to all our little Caterpillars!

We hope you’ve all been having lots of fun outside in the glorious sunshine and playing in your gardens. It looks like it’s not going to be quite so sunny this week, but not to worry, if it rains get your wellies and raincoats on and go and jump in some puddles instead!

This week as part of our new “Signs of Spring/ growing” topic, we are going to be thinking about trees! You will need to be using your eyes when you go for your walks around the village to see how many different types of trees and leaves you can see! You could also listen to the story of Stick man (lots of versions on Youtube or the BBC animated version) and have a go at making your own!

Have a look at the activities below and send us some photos of things you have been up to. We love to hear how you’re getting on!

Don't forget, if you want to have a go at growing your own sunflower, there some little envelopes with seeds in on the shelf outside school reception!

Have a lovely week!

Monday update 20/4/ 20

Hello to all our lovely little caterpillars!

We hope you are all staying healthy and safe, and that you had a lovely Easter with your family (and hopefully you had lots of chocolate treats!)

This half term, we are still looking at Signs of Spring but also incorporating lots of growing activities too! There will be lots of practical activities for you to have a go at and lots of looking all around you at what changes you can see with all the plants, trees, weather etc.

We would love to have a “Who can grow the biggest sunflower?” competition. All you need to do is plant a sunflower seed in a sunny spot and keep an eye on how tall it grows! If you don’t have any sunflower seeds, then if you pop up to school, there will be some in the school reception you can have.

We would love to know what you have been doing over Easter and what you have been reading. You can send us photos or even write us a little email!  Our email address is nursery@rotins.notts.sch.uk

Enjoy the sunshine and we hope to see and hear from you soon!

Love from

Mrs White, Miss McLoughlan and Mrs Flint

Hello to all our little Caterpillars!

We’re all missing you very much and hope you’re having a fun filled week with your families!
Hopefully you’re managing to have a go at some of the activities we’ve put on our Nursery page. Don’t worry if not, there’s no pressure.
We all know how much we’ve enjoyed our traditional tales topic, so this week we will be looking at Jack and the Beanstalk. There are some links below to some activities you might like to try.

Have fun and take care little ones!
