​​Today we took a trip to Hinckley. We set off early, the children excitedly waited for the bus to arrive. We jumped on the bus brought our tickets and settled ourselves down for a ride to Hinckley. We got off the bus and walked towards the Cresent. It was so cold we stopped in Costa for a sneaky 'babychino' yum! We then headed to the library, where we looked and books and chose some to take back to nursery, dressed up and played in the role play area. Next we ventured to Argents Mead where we had some snack and a play on the equipment. It was then time to head back to wait for our return journey on the bus. The children kept a look out for the number 55 bus. With tired children it was a very quiet journey back with some children even falling asleep!! We had a fantastic morning and were very proud of the children they were so well behaved and polite to passers by.

During a walk around the village we stopped to watch a Thatcher replacing a house roof. Some of the children recalled that it looked like the Little Pigs houses. Kindly the Thatcher gave us a bale of straw to take back to nursery. We read the Three Little Pigs story and found all the things needed to build the houses. The children worked together in groups to build amazing houses from the straw, sticks and bricks. There was lots of talk and repeated refrains learnt from the story. Once the houses were built the Big Bad Wolf aka Melissa, tried to blow the houses down. The straw and stick house fell but the brick house remained.
During the following days the children used the items in the tuff tray using puppets to re-enact the story.
What great fun we had!

We had so many children come to nursery dressed up for our Disney Day, we had so much fun dressing up as our favourite Disney characters!
