What can you do to show you love someone?

Joshua M.: be nice to them.
Mason: play with them.
Enid: give them hugs.
Ethan: let them have some of your toys.
Bethany: go to the park with them.
Vinnie: play toys together.

Singing and Dancing

Finlay’s family liked the photos of the children singing and dancing on their stage:

“Finlay loves to sing and really enjoyed performing with his friends at nursery.”

You certainly were putting on quite a performance boys and girls. It was lovely to see your confidence.

Who Do You Love?

The morning children have been talking about who they love and why which has produced some lovely thoughts.

Lily: Olivia always plays with me and tickles me.
Joshua M: I love Papa because he takes me to Greggs for lunch on Thursdays.
Chloe: I love Daddy ’cause he always tickles me.
Danielle: I love Summer because she plays with me.
Kobe: my Mummy ’cause she always takes me to bed.
Isaac: I love my big brother Dylan because he’s my best friend.
Harvey L.: my Mummy because she cuddles into me.
Olivia: I love Lily because she always plays with me.
Theo: George ’cause all the time he plays with me.
Reuben: Harper ’cause he always plays with me.
Crue: Mummy, Daddy, Cole and Conan because they’re my friends.
Francesca: I love my sister. She always plays with me.
Riley: I love Bailey, Mummy, Daddy, Granny, Papa, Minnie, Granny, Grandad, Connie and Braden.
Quinn: Mummy, Daddy and Isaac ’cause they’re nice.
Leah M.: Mum and Dad ’cause they love me.

Well Done

Congratulations to the winners of our certificates from last week. You both thoroughly deserved your awards.

Happy Photos

Owen’s family has been looking at our recent photos. They liked seeing him relaxing on the dentist’s chair on our Toothtastic Tuesday:

“Owen really enjoyed this, looks very chilled 🤓👍🏼💤😷”

The photo of Owen joining in with the other children on the stage was another favourite:

“Owen said this was “really nice and really good”. Such a performer!!”

We are glad that you are enjoying our photos. Hopefully everyone is getting a regular insight into what happens in Nursery.

Song and Dance

Give the children a stage and they are keen to perform, be it singing or dancing. Here are a few snapshots of them in action earlier in the term as they produced their own song and dance routines, showing themselves to be the confident individuals we are trying to help them develop into. I wonder if any of these children will be performers when they are older?

Lucky Red Envelopes

As part of our learning about Chinese New Year, some children chose to make special red ‘lai see’ envelopes which Chinese children receive at this time of year with a gift of money inside. It was tricky to work out how to make the envelopes stick together but the children showed good perseverance with this little problem and enjoyed decorating their envelopes. Hopefully the chocolate coins that were put inside made their way home.

Coffee Morning

Primary 3 recently held a coffee morning in aid of Save the Children. Here are some of the Nursery children, who brought money to support this event, enjoying their coffee morning in the school dinner hall.

Holiday

We would like to remind everyone that there will be no Nursery for the children on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of next week due to a mid-term holiday and two training days for staff. We hope that you all enjoy a few days off and look forward to seeing you on Thursday 16th February.

Well Done

Well done to last week’s super award winner who was delighted with his certificate.
