We have absolutely loved being out in the nursery garden this week. We have been busy planting beans, peas, squash and sweetcorn. We can’t wait until it grows so we can enjoy our produce. 
In nursery our topic we have been exploring is ‘new life’. Today we enjoyed having 4 guinea pigs in school, 2 of which were only 3 weeks old. The children were very brave and stroked them very gently. 
Today in nursery we welcomed Margaret and her guide dog Quella. Margaret talked to us about how Quella helps her day to day. She even showed us some examples of braille and how she could write it by using a special pin. Margaret was very kind and allowed us all to stroke Quella after, she was so soft and gentle with us and the children were all very brave!
The children in our Reception and Nursery Classes have been very excited about the new residents in our garden. Mr and Mrs Mallard seem to like our garden so much that they have started to join us for an afternoon nap!
We have been really lucky this week, we had Chris and Rachel visit us from Tiny Tweeties. We enjoy singing all of their songs in Nursery and Reception and we absolutely loved singing and dancing with them today. Thank you for visiting us!
