Father Christmas!!

This afternoon in Early Years we had our Christmas party! 

We watched the first half of the Tangled DVD, did lots of groovy dancing, and had a special visitor!!

We are watching the second half of the DVD tomorrow with some popcorn for our Cinema Afternoon.

Christmas Shop!

Please come and join us from 9 - 9.30 tomorrow morning in Osprey Quay Nursery Base for our Foundation Stage Christmas Shop, where you can buy some lovely home-made crafts whilst having a cuppa and a yummy mince pie also made by our children! 

Christmas Play dress rehearsal

Today we performed our Christmas play to our siblings from East and West base... We were all brilliant!

We have been writing out our Christmas lists, and making snowmen too!

Osprey Quay Nursery!

Our Nursery children have been getting ready for Christmas! They have been painting Rudolph faces to hang in the Nursery room, and cutting out pictures of the things they would like Santa to bring them for Christmas!

They have also been enjoying playing Teachers...

... And exploring and creating with play dough!

EYFS Igloo

After blood (Mrs Day's), sweat (Mr Page's) and tears (Mrs Haskins'), the Early Years igloo is finally at a stage for the children to enjoy. Hoorah! :D 

Thank you for you milk bottle donations.

The Big Christmas Challenge!

This afternoon in Reception, Mr Page set us a challenge to create a sleigh and reindeers for Santa using lots of different materials. Here's what we made!!

Osprey Quay EYFS

We've not let the rain spoil our day today in EYFS! We've been having fun on the soft play in the Hall...

Yesterday while the lovely sun was out, we went out to measure parts of our outside area using non-standard measures during our Maths learning time. We used our hands, our feet and some wellies!

Osprey Quay EYFS

Our Making Area has been busy this week, and we've had some fab creations!

Early Years award certificates!

Our Learners and Citizens of the week, and Smiley Face Awards!

Rapunzel! Rapunzel, Let down your long hair..!

Osprey Quay Early Years have been listening to the story of Rapunzel. We have been drawing pictures about the story and re-telling it using character masks and figures on the stage.

Milk bottle igloo.

We are running out of 4 pint bottles. The plan is to make a lovely learning space for the children to read quietly and develop a Christmas role-play. This is the igloo so far but please keep the bottles coming in. Thank you for your support.

This week in Osprey Quay Reception we have been reading and re-telling the story of The Three Little Pigs. The children have made Little Pig puppets (and put on puppet shows!) and have built Little Pig houses.

We even had the Three Little Pigs and The Big Bad Wolf outside of their house!

Our Learners and Citizens of the week in Reception at Osprey Quay. Well done, we're proud of you!

Beebots!

At Osprey Quay the children have been developing their positional language. We have been programming the Beebots to move forwards, backwards and make quarter turns. 
Here are some pictures 
of the children exploring 
the equipment.

Wren week!

The pony is called Dinky and he had a full day of attention from lots of excited children. They also loved eating cakes and thank you for all of our amazing buildings and colouring competition entries. Here are some pictures of Wren's special week.

Letters and sounds.

The children have been learning the phase 2 letter sounds. Here is a clip of the Jolly Phonics songs to practise at home.

Wren week!

Next week is Wren house week. With the help of some of the older students we are planning to make a milk bottle igloo. Please could you bring in any 4 pint milk bottles? We need the lids on but please rinse them out. Thank you for your support. We hope it will look something like this.

This week in the Early Years.

The children have had their school photograph taken for the Dorset Echo. They looked very smart!
We visited the life van to find out more about looking after our bodies and staying healthy.
Here the children are meeting Harold the giraffe.

They loved the stars on the ceiling.










Don't forget our Harvest Festival is tomorrow at 9:30.
