We are looking forward to seeing many of you tonight at the ‘Sharing the learning’ event hosted by myself and Mrs Ogilvie. The presentation will begin at 6.30pm and last approximately 1 hour. It will take place in the dining room. Please enter via the main office door – not through the nursery entrance. Thank you.

Space
Griff’s letter to Tim Peake has prompted a huge interest in space. You can see his letter and his tweet reply on the ‘Look at me learning at home’ wall. We are very excited that Tim Peake was in touch with Griff!
Griff helped Mrs Gordon and Mrs Duncan get some space resources today. These instantly became very popular. We had great fun exploring these new resources this afternoon.
Forest Sessions
The green and yellow class will be visiting the forest on Tuesday 20th September and Tuesday 27th September.
The red and blue class will be visiting the forest on Wednesday 21st and Wednesday 28th September.
We will need 10 parent helpers for each morning and each afternoon session. Please keep these days free if you wish to help. Regrettably, siblings can’t join us in the forest. The sign up sheet will be displayed in nursery soon. We look forward to having you join us on our forest adventures.
Healthy Snack
The morning children enjoyed their healthy snack this morning. They devoured lots of corn-in-the-cob! Well done boys and girls!
We will be looking for your snack ideas soon.
Website of the week
This week we have been making our own underwater scenes using our website of the week. You can find it by clicking here. The children can try making their own scenes, estimating how many of each fish they have and then counting.
Nursery Fun
We are all enjoying the opportunities to make new friendships or develop relationships. We are all accessing more areas of the nursery now and are relishing new experiences such as going to the playground and using new resources. Here is a snapshot of nursery over the last few days:

Parent Focus Group
The sign-up sheet for the parent focus group is now up on the focus group wall. Please sign your name if you wish to join the focus group. We recommend that parents remain on the focus group for the entire year and where possible attend one meeting each term.
This term the first group meeting will be on Thursday 29th September at 10.30am (morning class) and 2.30pm (afternoon class).
If you have been on the focus group previously we would appreciate you giving the other parents an opportunity to sign up before you add your name.
