This week we celebrated our first germination! The mixed lettuce seeds and radishes have germinated… stand by for more developments next week!

The week started with some Mondrian inspired use of colour, shape and line.

  The beginning of the week was set aside for pancakes…our Chinese New Year celebrations, followed by half term meant that Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day, was not celebrated.

This week the children have been learning about the Lunar New Year, or the Chinese New Year.

This week the children have been watching and discussing a performance by the late Japanese artist Shozo Shimamoto. 

This week, Helen worked her magic on a slimy concoction. This created an opportunity for the children to share the multi sensory experience of stretching, smelling, squeezing and even skipping with the gelatinous, oozy substance!

When the temperature drops, the way the children of Thornton Heath Nursery engage with their space transforms along with the weather.

We have welcomed our new starters this week who have been supported by the elder children to enjoy their first days at Thornton Heath Nursery.

This week, the last of the Autumn leaves were shovelled, barrowed and shifted to the planters to begin the process of making new soil for our planting to come later in the year.
