Some beautiful tulips are currently looking splendid along the path outside Nursery. We hope they’ll still be in bloom next week for you to enjoy! Here are some photos for you, just in case!

We hope you enjoy the remainder of the holidays. 🐣

Proud of @minsterinfants.bsky.social after Ofsted this week. Staff spoke with such warmth and purpose β€” and the inspector saw what we already know: a place of care, love, and real professionalism. A hopeful end to a big term.

This activity, based on Chicken Licken, has been an incredibly effective way of introducing our Nursery children to taking away and the associated language. Can you work out what happens? πŸ˜‚ πŸ₯πŸ“πŸ¦Š #earlymaths #eyfs #earlymaths

What a wonderful rendition of a section from 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' by two of our #Nursery children. They were able to retell the entire story in this way using action, rhythm and accurate descriptive language! πŸ˜πŸ‘ @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social #eyfs #earlyyears #edusky

Following reading #TownMouseAndCountryMouse our #nursery children have been constructing their own town! It's expanding so fast it's almost a city. It now includes Saffron Tower (a #Croydon skyscraper) & even a swimming pool & cinema! Today #Sonic3 is on the big screen. πŸ˜πŸ˜† #eyfs #earlyyears #edusky

Last Friday we celebrated #InternationalWomensDay in school and found out why it is important to do this.

Here is some 'pupil voice' gathered by Year 2 staff. We're so impressed with what the children remembered and took away from the day. #InspirationalWomen #GenderEquality

Year 2 have been learning about the location of human and physical landmarks in geography. They did amazing work using Google Maps to locate the different landmarks then record them on their maps!

Interview with our Chef Sandra! – The Minster Nursery and Infants School

Our Year 2 reporters have been busy again. This time they've interviewed our catering team to find out more about our school dinners. We're so lucky - did you know that all our school dinners are cooked from scratch on site by our experienced kitchen staff.

This is pupil voice from one of our Year 1 classes, following an Online Safety workshop.

We were impressed by how much important information they had retained. 😊 πŸ‘

Does your little one want to hear the same book over and over and over again?

The repetition can be a little maddening for us as parents, but for children it’s actually very beneficial.

Some great building with wooden blocks happening this afternoon! This #Nursery child was displaying an understanding of symmetry as he independently built his boat.

As part of our learning about The Three Little Pigs, #Nursery found out that bricks are made from clay. They were given some clay to feel and explore and discovered that playdough was much softer. They persevered to manipulate the clay and made jellyfish, Ninja stars and flowers! #eyfs #earlyyears

The #ThreeLittlePigs has really inspired #Nursery with construction. We now have doors and windows, plus some fun additions such as indoor slides πŸ˜† The children love talking about their models and who lives in them. Can you spot the 3 Little Pigs and the 'Big Bad Lion'? #eyfs #earlyyears
