Children in Yellow Room at St Werburgh’s Park Nursery School have been making the most of the warm weather this week, finding thoughtful and playful ways to stay cool while continuing to explore and learn together.
A highlight has been spending time in the garden and paddling pool, where children have been enjoying water play, experimenting with pouring and splashing, and building confidence as they move and play in a refreshing environment. These experiences support physical development as children practise coordination and control, while also encouraging communication as they share ideas and play alongside their friends.
The children have also been taking great care of the plants in the allotment. Watering, observing growth, and talking about what plants need to thrive has helped to build their understanding of the natural world. These moments offer opportunities for curiosity, responsibility, and early scientific thinking, as children begin to notice changes and make connections between their care and the plants’ wellbeing.
It has been a joyful week full of sunshine, exploration, and teamwork, with children showing kindness to each other and the environment around them.
