Rhyme of the Week – Incy Wincy Spider

Posted on January 28, 2017 by Janette Gaunt

Incy Wincy Spider

Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the water spout,
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain,
And Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the spout again.

Chinese New Year

Posted on January 24, 2017 by Janette Gaunt

We have been learning about Chinese New Year. This year is the Year of the Rooster. We have made a dragon and performed our own dragon dance, playing different percussion music. We all got a chance to being the head of the dragon if we wanted to. On Thursday we are going to have a Chinese Feast at nursery!

PEEP @ Loretto

Posted on January 23, 2017 by Janette Gaunt

Our second PEEP block started last Friday. We shared songs and stories, got to know each other a little bit and decided on the topics to cover for the next few weeks. The children (helped by their grown-ups) started to make books about what they like and don’t like, and took them home to finish.

If you would to find out more about PEEP, check out the page on the website, visit the Peeple website or speak to staff.

A further block may run after Easter if there is demand. If you would be interested in joining that group please let Mrs Gaunt know.

Rhyme of the Week – Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men,

Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

Rhyme of the Week – Jack and Jill

Posted on January 15, 2017 by Janette Gaunt

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

Up Jack got, and home did trot,
As fast as he could caper,
He went to bed to mend his head,
With vinegar and brown paper.
