We headed off to Margam Park ready to explore and gather interesting things. We found lots of leaves, pine cones and acorns. The leaves made a super abacus, we recognised the number on the abacus sheet and added the correct amount of leaves.
Nature Concept
The children gathered twigs during Wellie Wednesday.
They organised the twigs and grouped them according to their size to make a boat. ⛵️. The boats were placed in the water and we discussed floating and sinking.
Wellie Wednesday
The children have been discovering their senses. They have been focusing on their sense of smell. They carefully cut herbs in the sensory garden, chose what they favoured and made a room fragrance using a pestle and mortar.

Belonging-People Who Help Us
Dear Parents / Carers,
In line with guidance from NPT, we will be trialling delivering the New Curriculum for Wales, through concepts. Our Autumn concept is Belonging, and part of this study will be thinking about ourselves, our friends, our family and people in our community who help us.
We would like to make this topic as engaging as possible. Please could you put your Thinking Hats on. If you or a family member or friend who works in a profession that helps us, would like to come into school to talk to the children in small groups then we would be very grateful.
Please contact me directly.
Many thanks, Ms Julie Beaumont

Poppy Playtime is a unique first-person horror adventure game. Likewise, there are many elements in the game that are purposefully designed to creep players out. With any game release that is in the horror genre, adults, as well as parents, are always concerned about age restrictive content.
Tiny Toes Ballet in the Nursery
We have been very lucky to enjoy sessions with Eleanor from Tiny Toes Ballet!
Here are some pictures from our sessions!
Tiny Toes Ballet
We are very excited and proud to be part of Neath Port Talbot Council Child Development Funding Programme of Activities.
NPT Council has created this programme to bring opportunities to children under 5 and their families who have been negatively impacted by the Covid-19 Pandemic. And we at Tiny Toes Ballet are so very happy to be offering free sessions throughout March to those children from 6 months to 5 years in Port Talbot, Alltwen, Skewen and Longford.
We hope to bring the fun and magic of tiny toes ballet along with the social interaction of our classes for the children and parents, that have lacked just that throughout the pandemic.
Bookings are open NOW for our March session in the NPT district.
