Welcome back!

 Hello,

What a great start to the term we have had! The children have enjoyed looking at the new chicks and how much the old chicks have grown. We've named the new chicks Billie, Sunny and Red. We will continued to watch them grow until they are ready for the new chicken coop.

Our new Investor's target is to keep our Nursery tidy. We are encouraging the children to put their toys away after playing with them. Children will be able to choose from our treat box once they achieve this target.
 
Our Welly Wednesday sessions will be starting in October, (further details to follow). This term our P.E. sessions are outdoors (weather permitting). Could the children please come dressed in appropriate clothing and footwear e.g. tracksuit bottoms, trainers.  

From the Nursery team.

Next week...

Exciting news! 

Next week, Mrs Long is bringing her tortoises in to Nursery. The children will learn all about taking care of them and they will have the opportunity to touch them and ask any questions they may have. 

Just a few photos from our fun making pizza...

We are now in the second half of the spring term.

This term we have been following the children's interests, which lead us to reading 'The Gingerbread Man'. The children then loved making gingerbread men in nursery! Following this, we seem to have had a food based theme.

Today (04.03.15), Tesco came in to visit us as part of their Farm to Fork initiative. The children learnt all about making different types of  bread and also got to taste some! Tesco have left us with some bread dough which the children have been told will keep rising - we took a photo before so that we can compare it to the 'after' shot. Tesco also made pizzas with us! The children had several topping choices and made all of the pizza themselves including putting the sauce on the based and the cheese. We can't tell you how much the children loved doing it - and so did we! Furthermore, the lovely ladies from Tesco commented on how well behaved, well mannered and generally lovely the children were.

This term we will continue to follow the children's interests, by having themed weeks, incorporating them into our enhanced planning or in many other creative ways! 

PE is still on a Friday. Last term we did gymnastics, this term we have progressed to Ball Skills. The children will be keeping their shoes on so please wear trainers/plimsoles.

Please remember, the children go outside in ALL weathers - they must bring appropriate clothing. 

Many thanks for your continued support,
The Nursery Team

Spring Term!

Hello,

Spring term is upon us...

We hope that you had a wonderful festive season.

We wanted to say a HUGE thanks for your support with our winter fair. It was a huge success and was a lovely day for all. So we are going to do it again next year, with a request of more cakes and biscuits and a bit more space. Moreover, we made a great amount of money for Foundation which was then matched by a very generous parent so our total was over £700! Thank you again :) 

Did you know that we do Spanish every week? The children are  loving it! So far we have learnt to say hello, goodbye, count to 5, a few colours, to say "I like" and match this with animals/colours etc and now we are learning to say 'My name is...' (me llamo for those who like to join in at home!). Next half term we are going to learn more about our focus country; Spain. We will try some Spanish food, listen to Spanish music, speak Spanish and lots more!

PE is now on Fridays. Please bring your child in suitable clothing, with socks and shoes that are easy to take off (no tights!) and please no earrings/jewellery. We are working with Mr Grey on gymnastics.

Thank you for all of your support.
