Happy Easter

As we have been looking for signs of spring around the nursery garden, we have been also learning about Easter.
Children have observed the spring shoots appearing, the power of the rain and sunshine and have plated seeds in the garden. 
Some children were able to share what they knew about Easter - they recalled some people exchange Easter Eggs.

Eggs are a sign of new life and Christians around the world remember the story of Jesus rising to new life on Easter Sunday.
Children showed great concentration and perseverance as well as independence as they created their own Easter Baskets. 
They also followed recipes and were made chocolate nest cakes to take home.
Today was the Easter Egg hunt in the garden: I hope the Easter Bunny left some eggs for everyone!
The children always persevere and show real excitement during this event. 

Happy Easter if you are celebrating Easter.
Many of you are observing Ramadan at the moment. Eid Mubarak when it arrives. We will be celebrating with an Eid party on Thursday 18 April. Children may come in their Eid and party clothes.
