  • Christmas in Nursery

    Published 05/01/26

    The nursery children have had a wonderful Christmas. We have enjoyed a visit to the Christmas tree farm, decorating our nursery building. We enjoyed learning new songs and performing at our cosy Christmas Singalong event, where each class invited their families to come along and join us in our classroom, hear the story of the first Christmas and even stay for some tasty treats and drinks.

    In class, we made Christmas tree decorations from twigs we had gathered during a trip to our school forest. We had lots of cosy fun too, with a pyjamas and movie day, where we watched 'The Snowman' and enjoyed a hot chocolate. We had a wonderful Christmas dinner too and wore our Christmas jumpers, we even had an extra special visitor, Santa! On our last day, we had another special visitor, Ellie the Elf came to tell us a story about looking after our community and the importance of keeping our streets clean.

    Christmas is a magical time of year for our nursery children and we have loved spending this special time learning together.

  • Christmas Tree Farm visit

    Published 11/12/25

    The nursery went on a fantastic trip to Laganvale Farm to choose a class Christmas tree. We were excited to go out on a big double decker bus and travel to the farm. On arrival, we had snack and Mrs Ussher's class went to soft play and Mrs Montgomery's went on our farm trail and then we swapped around.

    The farm trail was so festive, we got to see the area where the Christmas trees grow, walk by the chickens and pigs and then we reached the barn. In the barn, we got to pet the rabbits and guinea pigs before getting a chance to feed the goats. We also had the important job of choosing a Christmas tree. We even got to see them put it through the tree netting machine!

    The soft play was also really fun, with lots of space to run around, slide, play football and basketball and it even had a disco!

    We loved our trip to the Christmas tree farm. It really got us in the Christmas mood!

  • Shared Education

    Published 10/12/25

    Harmony Nursery are delighted to announce our shared education partnership with Holy Child Nursery School through PeacePlus ASPIRE.

    We have been chosen to be a part of this very exciting project over the next few years. We are building strong and positive relationships with our partner school, Holy Child Nursery School. We have been supported by parents from both schools and staff members. These visits have provided wonderful opportunities for children, staff, and families to connect, and our school communities are developing excellent links that will continue to grow. 

    Our first visit was here, at Harmony, where the children joined together in a visit to the forest school, where we went on a Bear Hunt! We also had fun together in the classrooms.

  • Autumn in Nursery

    Published 04/12/25

    The nursery children have been settling in so well and we are very proud of them. They have enjoyed getting to know their new friends, teachers, classrooms and exploring the outdoors.

     

    One very exciting thing in our outdoor play space is our mud area. Here we have a mud kitchen, digging pits, a big hill to climb and a place to grow our own food. We have really enjoyed making the most of the Autumn harvest in nursery this year and have used the foods growing here to make something new and delicious!

     

    In September, we picked the apples from our apple trees. We decided to use these to make an apple crumble. Together, we prepared the crumble, first by chopping up the apples. We then made a crumble topping by rubbing butter into a mixture of flour and sugar. This isn't just fun but a really good way for us to develop our fine motor skills. We baked our crumble and had it for snack the next day (with some custard too!) and it was so tasty!

     

    We also enjoyed making some more tasty delights with our garden produce. In October, we harvested some onions from our vegetable patch. This time, we decided that we wanted to share our food with others. We cut the onions up, with a just a few tears from Mrs Montgomery! We then added them in a pot to cook, along with some brown sugar, vinegar and balsamic vinegar. They stewed and the whole nursery smelled amazing!

     

    We packed up the chutney into small containers and sent them off in the Harvest Hampers to members of our local community. We shared photographs of some of people enjoying their chutney for their lunch and talked about how we can make other people feel loved with our kindness.
