Now that all of our eggs have hatched and we have got 5 healthy ducks we have been able to carefully give them lots of cuddles! Evie said they are so soft! Eli enjoyed having his cuddle and wanted to keep stroking them. Snowdrop class have been super gentle and caring with the ducklings.. we will miss having them in the class!

5 little ducks went swimming one day!

The children have been very eager to get the ducks into the water tray. Olivia made sure the water was warm enough for our little friends and then one by one added them into the water! The children were so shocked seeing how fast they were swimming and loved to see them splash! We all sang 5 little ducks together and were able to do some counting using our fingers!

Snowdrop class have been super patient, waiting for these eggs to hatch.. slowly, slowly we started to see some cracks!

We have had a special delivery overnight in Snowdrop class... someone has left us some eggs! We were very confused and had a talk about what we think is inside the eggs. Andreea thought it was a mouse, whilst Musa J thought it was an elephant!!!!

We had a discussion about the size of the eggs and what even comes out of an egg and what might not..

We will have to keep a look out for these hatching eggs.

Snowdrop class had a talk at parliament time about what fun we could do before we break up for half term and we remebered about what some of our friends and teachers would be celebrating in the half term. Isla told us it was Easter!! But how could we have some Easter fun... Snowdrop class said we needed to have an Easter egg hunt!

Haneefah and Olivia hid lots of eggs around the classroom and the children needed to find one before they were able to get the real chocolate egg! This was lots of fun and really had the children using their magnet eyes to look high, low and even in cupboards!

In the garden Kelly used some chalks to draw some shapes on the ground, the children enjoyed jumping on them. We then decided we could play a fun shape hunt game.. but first we needed to find out how to play. Evie, Rayaan, Hunter and Rien listened to the instructions and we got to playing. When Haneefah called out the name of a shape the children had to find it and stand on it without moving! We had lots of fun and the children wanted to keep going, this was a super fun way of learning the names of some shapes.

Snowdrop class had lots of fun visiting our grandfriends again! We went for a lovely walk together after reminding ourselves about our safety rules when leaving nursery, we held eachothers hands and looked left and right when crossing the roads.

When we got to our grandfriends we enjoyed doing lots of messy actvities (our favourite). We done some painting, made marks with the rainbow dabber pens and even had lots of crayons out! We then ended our visit with our class favourite story which is.....We're going on a bear hunt!!! We got to join in and show our grandfriends the actions to the story and they all enjoyed it!

Happy St Patricks day! Snowdrop class had lots of fun getting messy and decorating some cupcakes for St Patricks day. Hunter said "we have green, orange and white." The children used their spoons to carefully drizzle the icing onto their cake and then we got to enjoy it for snack, Andreea told Anastasia that it was so yummy!

Some of our friends have been sharing what their mummys, daddys and families have been celebrating at home. Mikaeel, Musa and Ayla have been talking about fasting and how their mummys havent been having any water... but we needed to learn about what they were talking about! Haneefah brought in a book all about Ramadan which taught Snowdrop class about why Muslims dont eat or drink during the month and why we do it! We ended the story with a yummy doughnut with our friends as its the month of giving!

The second experiment Snowdrop class got to do was the skittle experiment! Kelly and Alison lined up all the skittles around a large plate and then slowly poured in some water...We needed to use our magnet eyes and be super patient and see what changes we would see! slowly, slowly we started to see a rainbow in our plate! How cool!

To celebrate science week with our friends we started the week off with the germ experiment. Kelly told us everything we needed before we started! We needed water, pepper and soap! The children were able to see how the "germs" spread when you put your finger in the water and we were all shocked!

# data[].attributes.body
For our story this week in wellness wood, we got to read one of our favourites 'the very hungry caterpillar'. The children enjoyed listening to the story and then got to enjoy making their very own caterpillar/butterflies using the crayon pens! Musa used blue, Noah liked green and Mia made a beautiful rainbow butterfly!

# data[].attributes.body
We have had lots of fun for world book day! We were able to explore lots of stories and the props, our favourite to act out was we're going on a bear hunt and the three billy goats! The children brought in their favourite books from home and we got to have a look at them with our friends.

After a nice half term break the children have come back ready to play and get messy! We have enjoyed mixing colours this week and seeing what colours we can make! Anastasia says "red and white makes pink!"

# data[].attributes.body
For some last day of fun before the half term break, the children wanted to ice some biscuits and decorate with some sprinkles of their choice! We had lots of rainbow sprinkles, pink sprinkles with hearts and some blue sprinkles.

The children used their spoon to drizzle some icing onto their biscuits and used their spoon to spread it all on the top, we got very sticky!

After our trip to the shops, we walked back to Nursery and washed our hands before talking about what we were celebrating. Our friends Olivia and Dominik both celebrate Fat Thursday which Dominik told us " you eat lots of doughnuts, biscuits, sweeties and chocolates!"

We enjoyed our doughnuts as a class, Anastasia said her one had sugar and Isla said her one was "yummy!"

# data[].attributes.body
To celebrate Fat Thursday with our friends, we went for a lovely walk to the shops! We reminded ourselves of some safety rules such as holding hands and looking both ways when crossing the roads. When we got to the first shop we couldn't find any doughnuts other than doggy doughnuts.. but that's not what we wanted! Then Evie and Victor spotted some cheerios - "this looks like a doughnuts, it's the same shape!

We then decided that we could go to another shop to try and find some dougnuts... luckily we found some!

The girls in the class have found some new goodies in the dressing up area! We love our new handbags and glasses!

# data[].attributes.body
Snowdrop class love some dough disco... we used our listening ears and magnet eyes to follow instructions on what we need to do. We like to decide and vote on what song we could do our funky fingers to and this time we chose 'We like to move it!'

We enjoy pressing our fingers into the dough, squeezing it and rolling it into a ball or a sausage!

# data[].attributes.body
We have been very busy with Olivia making valentines day cards for our loved ones at home. The children chose the colours they wanted on the table which were red, white and yellow with glitter!

Isla told her friends at group time that "Valentines day is when you cry with joy"

# data[].attributes.body
Snowdrop class really love the story 'we're going on a bear hunt'. The children decided to bring out a bear from the classroom and hide it around the garden, however Kelly had a better idea! The children had to close their eyes and wait until Kelly was done, once she was done they needed to look high, low and even around areas. They needed a clue.. once Haneefah and Kelly said its somewhere high, they spotted the bear in the tree!!!

# data[].attributes.body
For our valentines special wow Tuesday, the children were able to explore some lovely red playdough with heart cutters, working on their finger muscles by using tweezers to pick up pompoms. The children even made their very own valentines card for their loved ones!

In the garden we love listening to some fun music and getting to dance in such a big space! Our favourite songs to dance to are Zoo, Golden and soda pop!

Snowdrop class love digging for treasure! Whether its in the mud or the sand...Theo, Dominik and Eli love going around the garden with spoons and shovels to find a good spot for some treasure.

Udonna and Victor spotted a very super long wiggly worm in the garden! They called their friends over to have a look and Dominik said "We need to find him some food" the children went around the garden to look for some nice green leaves the worm might like to eat to help him grow!

Our lovely friend Victor has made DannyGo a Snowdrop favourite! We have been enjoying following instructions and copying some moves from Danny and his friends.

For fitness Friday today, we had to move side to side, jump up and down and even do some spinning!

# data[].attributes.body
Snowdrop class have really enjoyed setting up an obstacle course in the garden! They worked hard as a team to lift planks and find objects to balance them across like tyres! Mia was reminding her friends to put their hands out when balancing so they don't fall!

The children came up with an amazing idea of making tomato sauce.. but we needed a plan! Kelly and her helpers first decided to use a rolling pin to squash the tomatoes but when we tried it it taste watery!

We then thought about a blender! We had to chop the tomatoes up again and add them into the blender. Kelly made sure we were being very careful and safe when using the blender as its very sharp!

Our sauce looked a lot better and was more thick. We needed a jar to put our fresh tomato sauce into and even made our own label!

We thought of many ways to cook our potatoes... frying them in oil, cooking them in the microwave or boiling them but then Isla said "how about air fryer?" And that's what we did! Kelly had her superstar helpers to get the chips ready and when they were done we got to try them!

Aayaan gave them a thumbs up, Andreea said they were good and crunchy and Victor said they were delicious!

Although the chips were good, we thought they were bit plain.. but how could we make even more yummy?

# data[].attributes.body
After reading The Enourmous Turnip we had a discussion all about growing vegetables and if they grow in the ground or on trees! The children decided they wanted to explore potatoes and thought about what they could make with them.. we did not want to end up with turnip jam for snack!

After peeling the potatoes and cutting them safely using our knives, Isla realised we could make chips! But how can we cook them?

# data[].attributes.body
We have been busy washing the dinosaurs in the garden today! We needed to make sure they were nice and clean and ready to be fed! Maimuna was doing an amazing job making them some food in the kitchen using water and leaves.

# data[].attributes.body
The children explored red water but thought about how they could make different colours as a group. They used different items such as glitter, spices, food colouring and paint to see what worked best. At parliament time the children decided that the paint worked best!
