Term 4 at St Philip’s Marsh Nursery School has been a truly joyful one, packed with celebrations, creativity and some very important learning about the world around us!
Easter brought a wonderful focus on pattern, with the children decorating eggs and making collages using different shapes of paper, exploring wiggly lines, spots, stripes, and so much more. The children also had brilliant conversations about the kinds of creatures that hatch from eggs, and we can confirm that both chicks and dinosaurs featured heavily! Chocolate Easter nests were made for the chicks to live in, and at the end of term, the children headed out into the garden for an Easter egg hunt, carefully counting how many eggs they each collected.
Eid was celebrated in equally brilliant style, with Oak Class and Fir Class coming together for a joint party. The children enjoyed party food, including some wonderful Indian sweet treats from Easton, danced to music and learned to say Eid Mubarak. In the lead-up to the celebrations, the children had also been looking at photographs and reading books about Islam, and had made beautiful Eid cards with collage work on moon-shaped cards. It was a really meaningful and joyful way to mark such a special occasion.
Eid Mubarak to all of our families who celebrated! 🌙
