This time of year the children are getting ready for the big move to primary school.

As the Summer term commences our garden is continuing to change and spring into life.

Over the past few weeks the Ladybird Class has been focusing on planting and growing.

With many of our Muslim friends off school celebrating Eid, we eagerly awaited their return so as to have a shared celebration.

Karen’s group emerged triumphant this week as one of their beans became the first in the school to not only germinate but grow too big for the bag in which it was held!

Spring time means big jobs in the garden. Soil has been shifted in order to enrich are record sized potato patch…hopefully the harvest will be equally gigantic come July!

This week, Ladybird Class have been focusing on planting and learning about how plants grow.

This week, the first seeds of the year were sown! In order to ensure the children take part in the full life cycle, we plant early and utilise our sheltered play area… it becomes a nursery within the nursery; protecting our seedlings from any late frosts and inclement weather.

At Thornton Heath Nursery School, we believe that nurturing each unique child begins with fostering a love of stories and language from the very start.
