Nursery is now closed for two weeks holiday but we still have lots of comments and photos to share from our first term so keep an eye on our blog as we will continue to post during the holidays. Have a lovely holiday everyone.

Fabulous Hairstyles
Miss Fleming has been looking at the photos of our hairdresser’s:
“I loved spending time in the hairdressers. The children were all so gentle with my hair and I had some fabulous hairstyles!”
Glad you had a relaxing visit to the hairdresser’s Miss Fleming. The children certainly enjoyed styling your lovely long hair.
Germ Busting
Just like the children in the Rainbow Room, those in the Raindrop Room recently used the machine that uses UV light to show up germs. Although the children thought that they had washed their hands thoroughly they were amazed to see evidence to the contrary when putting their hands under the ‘magical’ light of our germ busting machine.
Sophie: I missed my nails. The light shows glitter bug gel.
Tilly: I need to wash my hands again. It’s still between my fingers.
Skye D.: I missed my wrist.
Paisley: I used soap to wash my hands. I missed the back.
Skye B.: the glitter’s on my hands. I need to wash my hands again.
Leighanna: I missed a bit so am going to try again. Wash your germs away or you’ll get ill.
Lola: it’s on my fingers. It’s not sore using that magic machine.
Noah: you can’t see all germs. I’ve missed my hand here.
Barclay: I’ve missed my finger.
Kara: I’ve cleaned them. I’ve washed the germs.
Family Maths Activities
Sophie E.’s family has been looking at our photos of our Family Maths Activity event last week:
“Really enjoyed coming in and doing the activities with sophie. Great ideas for learning at home.”
Thank you for joining us for National Maths Week. Its good to hear that we gave you some ideas for learning at home.
Autumn Hunt
The children in the Raindrop Room have had a few walks out in our community lately. This one, not far from Nursery, was to find Autumn leaves for their artwork. It may look green all around them but this group was very successful in finding lots of leaves of many colours to bring back to put to good use in Nursery. Autumn certainly seems to be with us.
Certificates
Very well done to last week’s certificate winners. Your families must be so proud of you both.
Hecklegirth Hairdressers
Staff and pupils alike have been enjoying visits to the hairdressing salon in the Raindrop Room where there has been lots of discussion about equipment, hairstyles and personal experiences at the hairdresser’s. Here is a gallery of our enthusiastic stylists and customers.
Pets And Vets
The role play area in Nursery is always popular and the children have great ideas of what they would like there. Recently in the Rainbow Room some wanted a vet’s surgery and some wanted a pet shop so we decided to have both side by side. As you can see from this little gallery, this was a very busy area with lots of super interaction going on between the children.
Maths Learning
Seth’s family has been looking at the photos of our family activities for National Numeracy Week:
“Seth had a great time learning about maths he loved the ipads”
We are glad that you enjoyed our little event. It was great to see so many parents and families joining in. The I-pads were certainly one of the most popular activities according to your feedback sheets.
Engineers Of The Future?
The children in the Rainbow Room have been very busy investigating an old TV to find out what is inside it and to build confidence using tools. As you can see, this promotes great curiosity, problem solving skills and teamwork which develops learning across the curriculum. I wonder if we have some engineers of the future here?
