This week, we had a visit from our special guest, Paul O’Neil, The Owl Man. The children from all year groups were fascinated by Paul’s collection of owls, which he kindly brought into school. The children were able to ask many wondering questions about these beautiful creatures.
This week the children have been introduced to all of our areas in the Nursery. They are learning how to use the resources independently to create pictures, collages and models. We had a very busy week!
In Nursery we have been getting to know our new friends and learning each others names. Our topic is ‘All About Me’ and we have focused on our faces, looking in mirrors and making self portraits using loose objects. We enjoyed the stories ‘Owl babies’ and ‘Hairy Maclary’.
On behalf of everyone here at St Mary and St Thomas Aquinas we would like to extend a huge warm welcome to all of our new Nursery children and their families. We have created a video for you to watch showing you your new classroom and your teachers! We hope you all have a wonderful summer and we look forward to meeting you in September.
On Tuesday, the Nursery children helped Mr Patterson and Monica repair some of the toys in the outdoor area of Nursery. The children were especially keen to learn about the different tools that were used and some of the children were able to have a go at using the drill creating holes to help attach the seats to our Nursery bus.
