Miss Grant and Class 1 have recently been working with Rainton Construction, the director of The MGL Group and Northern Gas Networks to provide an outdoor ‘Construction’ Area for the children in EYFS. It has been a fantastic opportunity to develop the outdoor provision here at Nettlesworth Primary School, making links with the wider community and providing the children with a say in resources they aspire to have in their garden.

Yesterday, Class 1 opened their brand new outdoor Construction Area and the children had lots of fun playing with the new resources! Huge thanks to Gillian and the team for all of the amazing resources they have helped provide, we couldn’t have done it without you all! 🙂

We are now half way into hatching our very own chicks in Class 1. Everyday the helping hands in Class 1 turn the eggs 3 times, morning afternoon and home time, to make sure there are no air pockets inside of the eggs. The children also check that the incubator is always working at 37.5 degrees and the light is flashing. Hopefully when the full 21 days are up we can put 4 healthy chicks into our brooder…. That’s if Miss Grant doesn’t get too attached at the weekend when they visit her house 🙂

Class 1 have had a visit from their lollipop lady who talked to them about crossing the road safely, traffic lights, road signs and pedestrian crossings.  The children also discussed keeping safe near roads and not running across the yard away from parents/carers to reach the gate by the side of the road during circle time in class with Miss Grant.
