Something strange is happening in Nursery! We have found lots of magic beans in the classroom. The children have some fantastic ideas of where the beans came from and what to do with them. #Jack&TheBeanstalk @StJosephStBede #sjsbOracy #sjsbLiteracy #EYFS #C&L

After exploring the word Glory, Nursery have created a beautiful piece of artwork to thank God for some of the wonderful things He gave us. @StJosephStBede #sjsbRE #sjsbOracy #Nursery

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt! We used our creative skills to help retell the story as we created a story map. We used our programming skills to direct the BeeBot around our map. We practised our writing skills to add labels. @StJosephStBede #sjsbComputing #sjsbMaths #sjsbEnglish

After learning how Jesus fed the 5000, Nursery have been thinking about how to follow in his footsteps. After thanking God for the bread, we shared our bagels with other children in school, then spread love by sharing a smile. @StJosephStBede #sjsbRE #EYFS

3 is the magic number in Nursery at the moment. We are making 3, subitising 3, noticing 3, talking about 3, and of course, we are 3! @StJosephStBede #sjsbMaths #EYMaths #EYFS

Nursery have been busy learning all about polar bears. 🐻‍❄️ We explored how their blubber keeps them warm, using lard and icy water. We created an Arctic landscape and then drew polar bears using a series of circles. @StJosephStBede #UtW #sjsbScience #sjsbArt

Nursery have been exploring The Star 🌟 We’ve learnt how important the star was in The Epiphany,we considered what gifts we could give Jesus.We used our printing skills to create artwork and performed Twinkle Twinkle Little Star using actions. @StJosephStBede #sjsbRE #sjsbBelieve

What a fantastic time we had at our Christmas Showcase!We made cards, hats & decorations.We made delicious biscuits, listened to a Christmas story and sang songs around the tree.But best of all, we made memories together with the people we love! ❤️🎄@StJosephStBede #Nursery #EYFS

Nursery have had a calm and peaceful start to Advent. 💜As they entered they classroom they noticed it has ‘gone purple’. We then gathered together to light the first candle on our Advent wreath. 🕯 @StJosephStBede #sjsbRE #Nursery #Advent

Nursery gathered together to remember all the Saints in heaven. We each lit a candle and asked God to take care of the people and pets we remember in heaven ❤️ #AllSaintsDay @StJosephStBede #sjsbRE #EYFS #Nursery

We love our #SquiggleWhilstYouWiggle sessions. They use neurological and physiological movements to create marks and prepare us for writing but we just think they are great fun! @StJosephStBede @ShonetteBason #EYFS #sjsbWriting #Nursery #PhysicalDevelopment

Nursery had a very special visitor today.After listening to Owl Babies, we met Barnababy, the owl. We felt his feathers, listened to the noise he made and saw him turn his neck all the way around. @StJosephStBede #EYFS

As part of our ‘This is me!’ topic, we have been exploring the talents gifted to us by God. We have enjoyed demonstrating our talents to our friends and learning how we could share our gifts with others. @StJosephStBede #Nursery #sjsbRE #sjsbPSHE #EYFS

Nursery are having a great time exploring conker shells.They’re developing fine motor strength by peeling the shells, using problem solving to crack them open by stamping and embracing the excitement of trying something new despite the spiky challenges. @StJosephStBede #EYFS #UtW
