Southey Tots

Welcome to Southey Tots

Class Teacher: Mrs Robinson

At Southey Green, we promise to provide our children with 6 unique experiences in each year group. We call these ‘Southey’s Super Six’. These tasks give our children something to look forward to each year and in places, provide an opportunity that the children may not have previously had.

Once Upon a time … 

Our focus story in Southey Tots has been the Three Little Pigs. In March, the children have enjoyed going on a stick hunt to look for sticks to help us with our house building. We have explored building and sticking bricks together using wet sloppy sand outdoors and sandy shaving foam indoors. The children have pretended to be the big bad wolf. They have huffed and puffed to blow down towers and have blown bubbles in the water tray. The children have developed their control using hammers on our ‘tap tap board’. Below are some photographs from our play and learning around the story. 

In January, we welcomed 12 new children alongside their families into our 2-3 nursery provision. The children have settled in brilliantly and our older children and their families have helped to make them feel very welcome. The children are growing in confidence and showing increasing independence when wanting to go off and explore our indoor and outdoor provision. Below are some photographs of the children playing and exploring across nursery.

Christmas Stay and Play

To celebrate the end of our Sparkle and Shine topic in Southey Tots we had a Christmas themed stay and play with parents. The number of parents and carers that joined us for the event amazed us and the children had a wonderful time. Children and parents were busy making reindeer food, Christmas cards, paper chains to hang, salt dough decorations for the tree and decorating stockings. Naturally, a lot of glitter was used to make our Christmas decorations really sparkle and shine! Thank you to everybody that joined us, we really appreciate all your support and involvement. Below are some photographs from the day. Thank you again.

Pumpkins 

During the month of October, we had lots of fun exploring inside the pumpkins. We could not wait to pull off the lid and peep inside the pumpkin. We used spoons to scoop out the seeds and had a go at chopping up the pumpkin with a knife. Inside nursery, we made our own smiley pumpkin faces in the playdough.
