Kenzie’s family has been looking at the photos of the children tasting Chinese food:
“Good to see Kenzie enjoying the Chinese Snacks 
“
She certainly does look as if she was having lots of fun at snack that day. It was great to see the children happy to try something a little different.
As part of our recent discussion about Chinese New Year, we talked about the types of food Chinese people might eat and the children were given the opportunity to sample some Chinese foods at snack. As you can see, some made a good attempt at using chopsticks and most were confident to try the noodles, sauces and prawn crackers on offer.
Here are some recent award winners, looking suitably proud with their certificates. Well done and keep up the good work everyone!
You just never know what great ideas the children will have in a Nursery day. Here are some lovely photos of the day the children in the Sunshine Room decided to stage a concert. They worked well together to organise themselves into performers and audience, taking turns and discussing what songs they would perform. Some used instruments and some added a dance to their act but all had great fun, showing confidence in their performance and appreciation of others in their concert. Well done everyone who took part – you were a great team.
We hope that those who attended Eileen’s celebration of Read Aloud Day enjoyed themselves. That Elmer book did seem to be capturing the children’s attention when I called in. Unfortunately Eileen had to postpone the afternoon session as several children or parents were ill so she hopes to reschedule it for another time when you are all feeling better. Thanks again to Eileen for organising another great idea.
The afternoon children enjoyed a Pancake Day breakfast with their families just like the morning children last week. Here you can see them tucking in to the pancakes, crepes and fruit then performing an impromptu song to entertain us all. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us – it helped to make this a lovely social occasion for the children.

Owen’s family has been looking at the photos of the monsters that the children made at home:
“Owen really enjoyed this task, he didn’t want to do a scary monster which is why he did a ‘friendly’ robot which he calls Stuart. Great for their imagination!”
We loved your monster Owen and think that it looks just like a Stuart – good name choice. Well done!
Kacey’s family enjoyed the Pancake Day breakfast:
“Thank you for inviting us for breakfast it was really lovely.”
It’s great when we can get together for these little social occasions. Thank you to all those who were able to join us.
We would like to remind everyone that Nursery will be closed for the children on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week due to two staff INSET days and the mid-term holiday. We look forward to seeing you all again on Monday.
Last week’s Pancake Day breakfast was well attended by parents and grandparents and we thank you for your very positive feedback. The children seemed to enjoy trying out the different food options and it was lovely to see everyone enjoying a chat over their breakfast. Our singing had not been practised but the most of the children showed themselves to be confident to contribute to a little performance in front of an audience. Thank you to Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, for organising this event. We appreciate all her hard work and hope that you all enjoyed yourselves. Here are the morning children enjoying their breakfast. Afternoon photos will follow soon.
