Sparkling Sports for our end of year celebration

The end of our nursery year has arrived and our preschool children chose to celebrate with our own sports day. 

The sun was out for our special day which started with our children having a special picnic lunch. Parents,Grandparents, friends, siblings and new children were invited to come to see us and join in the fun.


Our afternoon began with all our fabulous children receiving awards for their achievements  as they have all succeeded throughout the year.


Then on with the sports! We ran, jumped, balanced and crawled in many different ways.







The children have been practicing working together as a team, so for their final race they wanted to work in teams with their family and friends joining in. Teamwork and water on a nice sunny day was a lot of fun!


















 After winning lots of medals and ice lollies to cool us down we are all ready to support Team GB in this years Olympic Games.



 May the staff wish all our children starting St William's Catholic Primary School and St Johns School a successful future.

For all our other children have a lovely summer break and we look forward to seeing you all in September in our new room.

Role Play Ice cream Parlour

We have continued using our maths skills in our role play area which is an ice cream parlour.









After the success of our Snack Shack Shop we each chose our favourite flavour of ice cream and used the most popular 4 in our real parlour.

Using our maths during snack time

We have been using our maths skills to use a number of objects as currency to purchase our snacks.



Before we were able to buy what we wanted from our shop we went to the bank. Here we told the cashier what we had been learning and received special gems for our work. 

"My Daddy goes to work to get the pennies. Me and Mummy and (siblings) go to the shops to buy shoes"

After we have our gems we can go to the shop to choose what we want.



 We used one to one correspondence when counting how many gems we needed.
 Some of us counted gems for more than one item then counted how many the total came too.


Milk 5gems
Orange 3 gems
Banana 4 gems
Biscuit 2gems
Apples red or green 4gems 
Water 1gem
