Summer 1
Welcome back to Summer term. We have another jam-packed Summer term for you. This half term, our topic is ART. To enhance all the activities that we have planned to do with our children Nursery have invited a local artist Nicola Mills, Mrs Maker to run a painting workshop on Tuesday 13th May 2025. The Nursery are planning to make a piece of art which can be hung in our Nursery to be enjoyed and admired by all of us.

Nature around us
The purpose of this unit is for children to explore the physical geography of our school and of the Meadows. They will begin to understand the need to care for our environment and the living things within it. Children will explore habitats in our forest school, school grounds, and our local community and begin to understand why animals live in them.
