Nursery – The Hive
In The Hive, we’ve been learning all about healthy choices to look after our bodies! We know that eating healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, and dairy helps keep our teeth strong, while sugary snacks can cause toothaches. We’ve been practising our phonics every day, making sounds with letters like “b” for banana and “t” for tomato, and blending them together. Rhyming has been so much fun too, with words like “cat” and “hat” or “pig” and “wig”! It helps us become better at reading and writing. We also know that staying active helps us stay healthy. We love running, balancing, and playing in the sand and water. We’ve been ambitious in our outdoor play, improving our gross motor skills with digging, building, and exploring.
Hatching, Growing, Changing!
We’ve been reading lots of exciting books in The Hive! In Dora’s Eggs, we learned how baby animals sometimes don’t look like their mummies at all. In Monkey Puzzle, we discovered how the little monkey looks for its mummy. We also read The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and watched how a tiny caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly. We’ve been practising our phonics while reading these books, making the sounds of words like “b” for butterfly and “c” for caterpillar. We’ve even learned to Makaton sign the story! Along with these books, we’ve read lots of information books about healthy choices to help us make smart, strong, and safe decisions.
And, of course, we had a fantastic visit from Evil Pea and Super Tato—causing a bit of mischief in The Hive! Evil Pea tried to cause trouble, but Super Tato was there to save the day! It was a reminder that we need to stay safe, make good choices, and be respectful of others. At The Hive, we celebrate inclusivity, understanding that everyone grows and learns in their own special way.
