Look at this beautiful Easter picture! It is so bright and cheerful. We love it!

There is lots of numeracy involved in baking and here is one of our nursery children baking cupcakes. He had to also count the cupcake cases so he knew how many he had made. There were 11! Great work!

Look Miss Rogerson, someone thinks they have the answers to your shadow animals! Good work!

We love this birthday count down…not long to go!

Here is another one of our lovely children who has been super busy! His mum told me that he has been; practising maths skills with some adding and subtracting sums (they used some toy dinosaurs to help with the counting. Great idea!), snakes and ladders, painted a rainbow and went on a rainbow hunt and they even had their own mini Olympics in the garden!

Look at the delicious pesto twister bread they made also! The link is at the bottom of the page if you want to try making it at home.

Remember when we made up our stories at Nursey ?
Mrs Hardman has taken 3 pictures; could you make up a story using them as a prompt?You can add anything you want to create your story. It could be about a dragon, a cake, a balloon, a flower; it’s your story so anything can happen!
Just like we did at nursery why not start your story with “Once upon a time…”

We would love to hear your stories so please send them to cockenzienursery@edubuzz.org
