Transient Art, by Mrs Perry

Date: 28th Jan 2026 @ 4:26pm

Transient art is a creative and playful way for children to explore art using natural and everyday materials such as leaves, stones, shells, fabric and loose parts. Children are encouraged to arrange, design and redesign their creations, developing imagination, problem-solving skills and fine motor control. Because transient art is temporary, there is no pressure to make a finished product, allowing children to express themselves freely, collaborate with others and enjoy the process of creating. This open-ended approach supports curiosity, communication and a love of learning while helping children to connect with the world around them

UTW: History, by Mrs Perry

Date: 28th Jan 2026 @ 4:20pm

The children have been learning all about growing up and the different stages of life. We talked together about what happens as we grow from a baby into a child, an adult, and an older person. The children enjoyed ordering pictures to create a human timeline, helping them understand how people change over time. This learning supported them in talking about themselves, their families, and how everyone grows and develops in different ways.

God's Creation Art Paintings, by Mrs Perry

Date: 28th Jan 2026 @ 4:05pm

In Art we have been learning to paint God’s beautiful creations.

In Nursery, we are always developing our communication, language, and literacy skills. We talk with our friends as we independently choose our learning, and every three weeks we explore a new topic book. We take part in activities such as retelling the story, creating story maps, and labelling pictures with our names.
