from Nursery to Sixth Form
Every week the Bulletin newsletter is sent home from the School Office highlighting important forthcoming dates and events, along with a round-up by Mrs Ainsley, Nursery Manager, of the week gone by.

This week everyone has thoroughly enjoyed having the chicks. From Nursery to Sixth Form, parents to teachers have all spent countless moments staring at these special little time wasters.
This week the children have been exploring their creative side. The pond was opened up as an observation area instead of for pond dipping, and the children took the opportunity to use a variety of media to create what they saw.
We have been learning all about frogs in the past couple of weeks; the colours they are, the noises they make and their lifecycle. We sadly still haven’t had any frogspawn in our own pond area, but the children have spent lots of time in the pond area, observing what they see and even engaging in observational drawing.
Welcome back! We are looking forward to a term filled with exciting opportunities for the children.
Despite the sudden drop in temperature this week, the Spring and Easter craft and activities are in full swing. The children have loved exploring the jumping chicks and rabbits, discovering paint mixing, sorting sizes of eggs and hearing the real story of Easter.
This week, we have simply been looking at ‘blossom’. It is a great indication that Spring is on its way and that Easter is just round the corner.
The Nursery completed their last week of ‘Above the Atmosphere’ and we can definitely say that the children (and staff) have thoroughly enjoyed it.
The children have continued with their topic on ‘Above the Atmosphere’ this week, building on their knowledge and understanding and extending their vocabulary about the moon, stars and planets.
The children have been learning about the moon and stars this week and have watched Neil Armstrong walking on the moon; they then acted out what they might do if they went.

The first part of this week was spent creating a little bit of love for someone special. Giving love and being loved is a basic need for all of us and I have gone into more detail about this at the end of this bulletin.

I haven’t stopped smiling since the ‘Nursery Rhyme Nativity’ on Wednesday. Your children were brilliant. I always have to remind people that these children are only 3 and 4 years old. Their confidence, resilience and adaptability is often that of a 6 or 7 year old. Amazing! It was also special to have an audience and it felt like we were finally getting back to some normality.
A huge well done and thank you to the whole Claires Court co...
