Lest we forget…
We remember all those who have bravely died to protect us and keep us all safe (and we thank all those who are currently still doing so) and at Jollies we hope for peaceful times in the future in a world where there’s lots of conflict and uncertainty… xxxx
Developing our motor skills!!
In Terrific Twos the other morning the children had all been working upon developing their gross motor skills as they had been exploring the soft play equipment that had been brought in by their Jolly grownups for them to use. So then in the afternoon they got to work honing their fine motor skills at …
Conversation exploded into creativity!!!
This morning our children have enjoyed talking together about all the fireworks they saw and heard in the sky last night!! This soon developed into a huge discussion about how loud they were and about all the different sounds they made!! Following the children’s very obvious interests and fascinations this soon turned into an opportunity …
Have a brilliant bonfire night….
We can safely say our children are sooooo excited!!! We’ve had so much fun creating our own (often messy!) representations of fireworks…. Some great sound effects have been heard all day!! As well as some tasty treats emerging as some of our children have created their very own ‘edible sparklers’ and also chocolate dipped apples …

They all got busy screwing different shapes onto their boards, as well as recognising colours and the names of common shapes throughout this activity through discussion with nearby grownups. It is interesting to closely observe how our …
Spookier and spookier……..
Last week Jollies became spookier and spookier as the week progressed…. It’s safe to say our children are VERY excited about dressing up later this week and going out for a spooky walk (and a spot of trick or treating) with their mummies and daddies!! …….It’s definitely the talk of the nursery at the moment!! …
It’s all about the pink!!!!
A week ago today we enjoyed our pink-themed day to raise awareness and pennies for Breast Cancer Now. We are very happy to say that so far we have raised £139.37. We are going to do some baking as a nursery too and will have some little bake sales going on over the next couple …
Spooooooooooky!
Look around what can you see? Gone is the pink…. making way for one very spooky tree!!!! xxxx
