What a busy couple of days we have had in Nursery!
We have been very lucky to have some very special visitors yesterday and today.

Yesterday we went through to the hall to see an African Drum group called 'Kakatsitsi'

We joined in to the rhythm and the beat. Lots of us had fun playing our own drums on our knees too!

We listened and joined in with the singing. 

The band sang and we sang back. 

We had a little workout too!

 We got to our feet and we all joined in with the dancing too.

We enjoyed following the movements and actions. 

Oh Help! Oh No! It's the...............

....GRUFFALO!

We had another very special visitor today!

It was very exciting! 

Today, the Gruffalo visited the nursery!

He had terrible tusks and terrible claws and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws......

Lots of us gave the Gruffalo a big hug.

We discovered he was really friendly and really very cuddly!

The Gruffalo gave us big waves. 

We think he liked our nursery too.

Some of us even rubbed his belly and we are sure we could fell the owl ice-cream and scrambled snake!

He's the Gruffalo, Gruffalo,Gruffalo, he's the Gruffalo.

He has knobbly knees and turned out toes and a poisonous wart at the end of his nose!

Some of us even touched his purple prickles that were all over his back.

Patsy from the library visited with the Gruffalo today too. 

We all listened as Patsy read us the Julia Donaldson book all about our very special visitor.

The book Patsy read was called 'The Gruffalo'

Time for some more Gruffalo hugs!

We have been busy listening to this story in nursery this week too.

 We have also been learning the Gruffalo song. 

As the Gruffalo left we all sang to him.

We were all very excited to meet the Gruffalo today. 

We are busy planning some more Gruffalo activities for next week.

Tomorrow we are even planning to have Gruffalo Crumble for our snack! 

Wish us luck!
