We would like to remind you about our informal information and taster sessions tomorrow for children and families when the Health Improvement team will cover healthy snack options for the family. Handouts/information will be available around nutrition for the early years and you will get the opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have about your child’s diet.
For those who returned the slip, we would like to remind you that Raindrop Room session is at 10.00 and the Rainbow Room will be at 11.00. We look forward to seeing you then.

Word Of The Week
Our “Word of the Week” is ‘healthy’ in the Rainbow Room while the Raindrop Room has chosen ‘included’ as their focus word.
Children In Need
“Wear What You Want Day” on Friday raised a generous sum of £260 for Children In Need while providing the children with the opportunity to come to Nursery in a wide range of outfits. Don’t they all just look great?

Award Winners
What lovely smiles from last week’s award winners! You both certainly deserved those certificates. Very well done!
Thank You
Thank you to all those who participated in our “Wear What You Want Day” for Children in Need and thank you to those who kindly gave a donation to this worthy cause. We are delighted with our final total. Photos will follow. 
The Outdoor Canvas
The outdoors provides the opportunity for a bigger canvas than indoors for those who want to experiment with paint. Some like to create artwork on paper while others enjoy decorating the environment. This was certainly a busy little team showing their creativity in the garden recently.
Super Skills
Tilly’s family enjoyed seeing the photo of her chopping apples in Nursery:
“Aww! Tilly has an apple every night for supper which I chop up for her! Recently she has been putting her new skills to good use and peeling and chopping her own apple (supervised of course!!!!)”
Well done Tilly to use your skills at home too. You are becoming so grown-up and independent. Super skills!
Apple Crumble
The Nursery kitchens are such busy places with snack and lunch to prepare for every day but some of the children have also been busy making apple crumble recently. Here you can see lots of safe chopping, mashing and use of the microwave to develop the children’s skills as well as their knowledge of what happens to food when it is heated. Their apple crumble looked and smelled delicious and certainly went down well with most.
Alfie Comes To Visit
Alfie, an assistance dog, and his owner Mrs. Anne Eales came to visit us in Nursery recently to show us just how clever he is. Alfie helps Mrs. Eales with lots of jobs to make her life easier and both children and staff were amazed when they saw what he could do. He helped Mrs. Eales off with her coat by tugging at her sleeves, picked up things she had dropped, took her boot off and can even hand her purse to a shopkeeper.
We thought that Alfie was very clever and both he and Mrs. Eales were so patient with all the children explaining what his job involves. Thank you so much to you both, you must have been very tired by the time you had spoken to everyone. We really appreciated your visit and would like to thank you for your time.
Shape Detectives
What better way to learn about shapes than to go out and find some in our own environment? A group from the Rainbow Room went on a shape hunt in the school’s nature area and were excited to find lots of examples of shapes in the real world. They even took the photos themselves and we think that they did a good job as “detective photographers”. Great work finding all these shapes and more. We think that your photos are super and have made them into a display in the Maths area of the Rainbow Room.
