NURSERY

OUR VISIT TO BALLYCASTLE LIBRARY.

CASEY'S CREATURES CAME TO OUR

NURSERY TODAY. THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING!

HE CAME WITH SEVEN ANIMALS AND THEY ALL HAD SPECIAL SUPER POWERS!!!!!

THE SNAKE CAN SMELL WITH HER TONGUE AND LIKES TO EAT MICE.

THE MEERKAT MAKES A NOISE LIKE A DOG BARKING. HE STANDS UP TO LOOK OUT FOR DANGERS AND USES HIS SHARP CLAWS TO DIG TUNNELS.

THE LIZARD USES HIS TAIL TO DISTRACT FOXES AND IF A FOX PULLS IT OFF IT WRIGGLES FOR AN HOUR AFTERWARDS. THEN IT WILL GROW A NEW TAIL!!!

THE TARANTULA IS NOT DANGEROUS AT ALL. SHE HAS EIGHT LEGS AND EIGHT EYES.

THE HEDGEHOG COMES FROM THE DESERT IN AFRICA AND HAS GREAT SPIKES. HE CAN ROLL UP INTO A BALL.

THE OWL HAS AMAZING EYESIGHT, HEARING AND SHARP TALONS. IF THE OWL HAS YELLOW EYES IT'S A DAY OWL. IF IT HAS ORANGE EYES IT'S A MORNING OWL AND IF IT HAS BROWN EYES IT'S A NIGHT OWL.

THE LAST ANIMAL WE SAW WAS A POSSUM CALLED LILY. HER SUPERPOWER IS THAT SHE CAN CARRY HER BABIES IN HER POUCH. WE ACTUALLY SAW 5 LITTLE BABIES!!!!

IT'S PANCAKE TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!

WHAT FUN WE HAD MAKING AND EATING PANCAKES.

HOPE WE DON'T MAKE YOU TOO HUNGRY WHEN YOU SEE OUR PHOTOS!!!!!!

SPECIAL VISITORS CAME TO THE NURSERY DURING THE LAST WEEK IN FEBRUARY. IT WAS THE POLICE. THEY CAME TO TELL US HOW TO BE SAFE WHILE CROSSING THE ROAD. THEY SAID IT IS VERY SENSIBLE TO WEAR BRIGHT CLOTHING. THEY ALSO TOLD US THAT WE SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET WHEN RIDING ON OUR BIKES. THE BEST PART OF THEIR VISIT WAS GOING OUTSIDE TO SEE THEIR CAR AND TO HEAR THE SIREN NOISE.

WE WERE SO HAPPY WHEN THE SNOW ARRIVED. WE JUST HAD TO GET OUT WITH OUR SPADES AND PLAY. WE WERE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO FALL. IT WAS GREAT FUN BUT VERY VERY COLD. WE MANAGED TO MAKE OLAF'S BODY BEFORE THE BELL WENT!!!!! WHEN WE RETURNED THE NEXT DAY THE SNOW HAD DISAPPEARED!!!!!!

WE ALSO REMEMBERED TO FEED THE BIRDS AS IT WAS VERY COLD.

IT'S MUSIC TIME!!!!!

We are learning about the names and sounds of different instruments. As our theme is TOYS we listened to and played along to a piece of classical music called A TOY SYMPHONY!!!!! We shook our instruments really fast and then really slowly.

LOTS OF SPONTANEOUS PLAY IN THE OUTDOORS.

The children built a castle, assembled a train track, hid toys in the shredded paper and washed the tractors.
