Class 2 has had a wonderful first week back at Rosemary Nursery School after the holiday break. It has been lovely to see everyone return full of energy, enthusiasm and smiles, ready for a new term of learning and discovery.
The biggest excitement this week has been the arrival of our new pet guinea pigs! The children have been fascinated by their new furry friends and have enjoyed spending time observing them and learning all about their needs. Together, we have talked about where guinea pigs live, what helps them feel safe and comfortable, and how we can care for them responsibly.
The children have also been learning about the importance of being calm, gentle and respectful when visiting the guinea pigs. These conversations have supported their understanding of caring for living things, as well as helping them develop empathy and consideration for others. We have explored which foods guinea pigs can eat and are looking forward to gradually building up to feeding and stroking them once they have settled into their new home.
The guinea pigs have already inspired lots of wonderful conversations, with many children keen to share stories about their own pets at home. It has been a fantastic start to the term, and we are excited to continue learning alongside our newest members of Class 2.
