We have been learning rhyming words with a great book called Shark in the Park. We also shared a true story on the internet – the poor whale who was trapped in netting and was saved by a man and his family. The children were fascinated by the rescue story and helped untangle all the toy whales in the nursery that were caught in netting – Well Done Nursery! They learned that you cannot put rubbish in the sea as it hurts the sea animals – rubbish goes in the bin! We also observed a real mackerel - the children held it and described it’s texture and appearance. Some of the children did some very good observational drawings. A very interesting topic. Our next topic is The Jungle – we are really looking forward to seeing what the children learn next term. Best wishes, from the Nursery Team ### Under the Sea in Nursery [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/28484/IMG_6552.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/28484/IMG_6552.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/28484/IMG_6554.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/28484/IMG_6554.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/28484/IMG_6557.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/28484/IMG_6557.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/28484/IMG_6608.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/28484/IMG_6608.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/28484/IMG_6612%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/28484/IMG_6612%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/28484/whale%20tangle.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/28484/whale%20tangle.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/20190517_103112.jpg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-05-23-year-3-trip-to-forbury-gardens) Previous ### [Year 3 Trip to Forbury Gardens](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-05-23-year-3-trip-to-forbury-gardens) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/DSC00011.JPG)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-06-07-receptions-visit-to-marwell-zoo) Next ### [Receptions visit to Marwell Zoo](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-06-07-receptions-visit-to-marwell-zoo) ### News & Events - [News](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news) - [Upcoming Events](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/events) - [Newsletters](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news-events/Newsletters) - [![Absence Reporting Link](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/1(1)_(1).png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/absence-reporting) - [![Accelerated Reader](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/2(1)_(1).png)](https://login.renaissance.com/12d2ca4f-6beb-4887-82ee-ddfbdb0b88d4?state=145e0c43-7ae1-46eb-a2d3-c9224036ffb3) ##### Location 70 Northumberland Avenue Reading Berkshire RG2 7PP ##### Contact Us 0118 9375481 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://twitter.com/R2PalmerAcademy) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePalmerAcademy) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Palmer Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
