Nursery St Mary’s CiW

If only every first day back to school was Pancake Day! 🤩🥞 #ShroveTuesday @StMarysCIW

Break The Rules Day! Unhealthy snack time on the carpet, a few new teachers in class, slippers & pj’s, super funky hairdo’s & taking the bikes out on to the big yard! Today was a day full of fun, laughter and of course, a little bit of rule-breaking! 🙊 @StMarysCIW

Dydd Santes Dwynwen Hapus ❤️ What a dream it was to spend Valentine’s Day with these little loves. So much fun had and so much love spread ✨❤️ @StMarysCIW

National Storytelling Week 📚 We practiced our comprehension skills by retelling our chosen book with sensory bins & puppets. Then, we went on a BEAR HUNT! Through this hands on adventure, the children not only understood the story - they lived it! 🧸✨ @StMarysCIW @mullin_mrs

My gosh have we enjoyed exploring Chinese New Year with lots of hands-on fun! From practising our fine motor skills by using chopsticks, to forming zodiac animal yoga poses in the forest. From muddy Chinese recipes to mark making tricky Chinese numbers.. & lots more! @StMarysCIW

Cutting play dough may seem like a simple, basic activity, but in reality, children are developing many important skills: 1. Fine motor ✅ 2. Grip strength ✅ 3. Coordination ✅ 4. Creativity & imagination ✅ 5. Problem solving ✅ 6. Sensory exploration ✅ @StMarysCIW

Diwrnod St Dwynwen hapus 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️ I’ll simply summarise how lovely today was by sharing the heartwarming words of one of my wonderful kiddos… “That’s kind isn’t it… and kindness, is love” 🥹✨ @StMarysCIW @stmarysMallett

I have been blown away with the independent number and sound mark-making going on this week!! Da iawn ti - you are superstars!! 🤩

The children have always loved playing “birthday parties” in the home corner…So, to welcome them back, we created a “Nursery Party Planners” area & it went down a treat - the children even use this area to practice counting yn cymraeg! @stmarysMallett @StMarysCIW

To finish off a wonderful term, we had an extra special surprise visitor today!! 🎅 2 minutes of pure magic 🥹✨❤️ Diolch yn fawr, Sion Corn! @StMarysCIW

🎇Bonfire Night in Nursery 🎇 We started by talking about Bonfire Night, what it represents and how we can stay safe! We created our own wonderful firework pictures, made “hot chocolate” in the mud kitchen and even became firefighters to put out the bonfire! @StMarysCIW
