Last week our Health and Wellbeing focus was on manners and being kind to others. These children were deserving certificate winners for showing lovely manners and being helpful in Nursery so well done to them all.
Lovely Manners
Category: 2014-15
Remembrance Day
The children in Nursery joined the rest of the school in standing silently for Remembrance Day. They came from snack, from the outdoor area and from their play to join together in their silence. As you can see, they all showed themselves to be very grown-up and took the occasion seriously. Well done boys and girls – we are very proud of you.
Family Fun
Emma’s Mum left a comment to tell us how much her family enjoyed the Family Learning activity:
“Emma had a great time with this activity and it was lovely that Chloe and mummy were able to join in too.”
You look like you’re having fun in the photo. We love that little brothers and sisters can join in too.
Family Learning Photos
Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, has left a message for all those who joined her for the activity last week:
“Thank-you to everyone who came to learn about Lakshmiâs tiny footprints and to decorate their feet. I loved the chocolate sparklers and am glad Callumâs Dad had them on his birthday cake. Photoâs are on the Family Learning notice board. Remember to come and collect your feet from my room â they are all dry now! Next activity will be Christmas. If any of you would like to help me to prepare the crafts for this please let me know.”
We look forward to Eileen’s Christmas crafts and hope that lots of families will be able to join in.
Stickers, Glue and Sparkling Chocolate Fingers
Keira’s Nana and Kacey’s Mum really enjoyed the Family Learning activity last week:
“Keira really enjoys Eileenâs family activities. Last week was good fun and yummy-stickers and glue then sparkling chocolate fingers, thank you.”
“Kacey had a great time decorating her feet for Diwali she used lots of different textures and materials. She asked for some help from mummy to colour her toes in pink , “itâs my favourite colour” she said.”
It certainly looked like good fun and there were some wonderful patterns on the feet.
Hallowe’en Party
Kacey’s Mum left a comment about the Hallowe’en party:
“Kacey had great fun at the party despite the fact that she doesnât like SCARY masks , it was lovely to see all the childrens different costumes,Kacey informs me there were no scary masks only nice ones!!!”
I’m glad that that Kacey thought all the masks were nice. The costumes were great and it’s lovely to talk to the children about what they’re dressed up as.
Parental Consultations
Thank you to those who have made appointments to chat to staff this week or next. The appointment times are still on display in the cloakroom areas if anyone else would like one. If none of the times offered suit you, please speak to staff and we will arrange an alternative time.
Chocolate Sparklers
Callum’s family left us a comment on the recent Family Learning activity:
“Callum and Gran really enjoyed the session. The chocolate sparklers went on daddyâs birthday cake and looked really fab. Thank you Eileen.”
That was lucky for Daddy getting something extra special on his cake. Well done Callum and, of course, Gran.
Design Your Own Feet
As our learning this week and next is focussed around Bonfire Night and Diwali, Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, organised an activity linked to these celebrations.
As Hindus welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, into their homes at Diwali, her tiny footprints are found around the house to show her arrival. The children drew round their feet and produced some wonderfully creative and individual designs on their drawings to represent Lakshmi.
They also worked with their families to make chocolate sparklers which seemed to go down just as well as the sparklers at a bonfire.
Thank you to Eileen for providing a super activity that lots of families were able to enjoy and thanks also for offering extra time slots for those who were not able to make the arranged days. We are sure that everyone had a great time and we look forward to the next Family Learning activity.

Congratulations
It’s always difficult to choose children to receive certificates in recognition of their achievements as so many shine in different ways. These recent award winners should certainly be proud of their certificates as they were thoroughly deserved. Well done to you all.
