Busy Children
Nancy’s family has been looking at recent photos on our blog. She enjoyed our Autumn art work when the children collected leaves to use for printing.
“Nancy loved looking for leaves, she said it was so much fun 😁. Nancy said that leaf she had was the best, it was “so cool with all the jaggy bits” 😀 ”. Well done to all the children on collecting leaves & very colourful art work 😊 “
They also liked the photo of the children singing their harvest songs: “All the children done very well singing their songs. Well done to you all, we could all tell you all practiced very hard 😊”
There was a great photo of a small group of children pretending that they were on a rollercoaster: “Great imagination Nancy, your expression is what Mummys would be on a rollercoaster 😄 “.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave comments on our posts. It’s good to know that our families are enjoying looking at the blog.
Hallowe’en Disco
We would like to remind you about our Hallowe’en disco tomorrow 30th October. Nursery children can attend from 6.00 until 7.00 and should have an adult stay with them. Hecklegirth Fundraisers use money raised to support events and buy resources to support all children in our school and Nursery so we hope that they got lots of families joining in this event.
Please remember that the children may dress up for Nursery on Wednesday for Hallowe’en if they wish but this is optional.
Congratulations
Congratulations go to our award winners from the end of last term. We are all very proud of your achievements.
Word Of The Week
As we begin to learn about different celebrations, with Hallowe’en, Bonfire Night and Diwali almost upon us, our “Word of the Week” this week will be celebration. We will talk about what celebrations look like in the lives of different families and cultures.
New Term
We hope that you have had a lovely holiday with your families and look forward to seeing you all tomorrow, Monday 29th October, for the start of the new term. Morning children have a soft start, as usual, between 8.45 and 9.10 and afternoon children start at 12.15.
Tennis Coaching
In the last week of term some of the children enjoyed a session with tennis coach Mike who provided a range of fun activities to help the children learn control of a tennis ball. There are classes for Nursery age children at our local tennis courts so we hope that these children have enjoyed their experience and may want to take part in these classes in the future. They certainly showed great enthusiasm for all the activities.

Digging And Transporting
The digging area is very popular, with lots of great imaginary play taking place there every day, and the children often want to transport the soil around the garden so we have created a little path for them within the digging area. This has provided opportunities to fill their barrows and wheel them along the path to tip the soil from one area to another which the children have loved. Here is a little team busy at work in this area.
Who Helps You?
As part of our Health and Wellbeing learning at the end of last term, the children were talking about who helps them if they find something a little tricky. Here are a few of their thoughts.
Alisha: Nana holds my hand when I go to the park.
Charlotte: my Daddy helps me put my shoes on.
Kyla: Mummy helps me.
Leah: my Mummy helps me make a picture.
Aoife: my Mum holds my hand when I’m roller skating.
Oscar: Letti would help me and Mum helps me ride a big bike.
Imogen: Mummy helps me when I get hurt.
Fern: my Daddy helps me to build a tower.
Safoora: my Mum helps me do my hair.
Leo: my Mummy helps me down from a tree.
Ellie: my Daddy helps me build ’cause he’s a builder.
Sophia: my Daddy helps me reach the cookies.
Louie: Mummy helps me play a game.
Marnie: my Mum and Dad help me on the monkey bars.
William: Doreen helps me tidy up.
Experimenting With Colour
I wonder how many of you have tried out those little tester pots of paint at home and spent ages comparing different shades? These children had great fun recently, mixing paint and experimenting with colours to paint outdoors. As with most art at this stage, it was the process of experimentation, rather than the end result of lots of wood painted in various colours, that was the most creative and exciting part of the activity. They mixed, measured, poured and did lots of talking about their findings as part of the process. Great teamwork boys and girls!
