Money Magic

Recently the afternoon children had a visit from the Financial Education Officer to talk about what we do with money and to help them in their work on coin recognition. They loved the story just as much as the morning children had earlier this year and took part enthusiastically in helping to tell the story. Bev’s huge purse held the children’s interest and they too enjoyed the magic of coin rubbing. We would like to thank Bev for her visit and look forward to seeing her again next year.

Family Fun

Kacey’s Mum’s been enjoying having a look at our photos.

“Kacey loves the family learning activities (so do I) our cress is still alive and growing on our window . Sadly the pumpkin seed isn’t so well as she was a bit over enthusiastic in watering it, we will buy some more and try again!”

“Well done everyone on the family fun day everyone did great despite the weather being cold and windy, I think the only people that noticed was all the adults that came to watch.”

We did wonder how the pumpkin seeds would do – that’s a shame if it’s not survived. I wonder how other people are getting on with their seeds?

Well Done Finlay

Finlay T’s family was pleased to see his photo with his recent certificate:

“Finlay was so happy with his certificate he couldn’t wait to show it off to all his family . Well done Finlay.”

We’re glad that you showed it to all your family Finlay – you really earned that and should be proud of yourself.

Tiny Caterpillars

Tiny caterpillars arrived in Nursery recently and we have all been watching their growth with great excitement. When we returned to Nursery last Monday, the caterpillars in both the Rainbow and Sunshine Rooms had formed their cocoons so we carefully transferred them to their nets and now await the arrival of our butterflies. I wonder which butterflies will emerge first? If you ask the children, they will be able to show you the cocoons in Nursery and tell you all about what has happened.

Growing and Planting

To link in with our learning in Nursery, growing and planting was the theme for a recent Family Learning activity led by Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator. The children and their families enjoyed a range of activities which included cress planting and a paper plate craft activity to show the life cycle of a butterfly.
Eileen’s next Family Learning days are already planned for the 8th and 9th June when she will share ideas for skills for school. All parents/carers are welcome regardless of which school your child will be moving to. Please add your name to the notice board in the corridor if you would like to join Eileen and other parents/carers. Thank you, as always, to Eileen for offering these super opportunities for everyone.

Well Done

Emma’s Mum left us a comment about our Fun Activity Day:

“Emma had a great time and enjoyed all the practicing on the run up to the sports. Was very proud of her medal too. Well done to everyone who organised and helped the kids.”

It was lovely to see the children all working so well together and to have so many adults cheering them on. Thanks to everyone for joining in despite chilly weather.

Sunflower Planting

To tie in with our learning about Vincent Van Gogh, the children have been planting sunflowers as well as painting them. As you can see, they knew to look for instructions and had good ideas about how to make the seeds grow. Once they have their little sunflower pots home, the children should be able to tell their families what they need to do to look after their plants. Hopefully, they will be able to bring their sunflowers or a photo back to Nursery later in the term to show us how well they are growing.

Great Teamwork

Like the morning children, the afternoon children participated in our Fun Activity Day with great enthusiasm. They worked well in their teams and displayed good skills and motivation to do their best. Thank you again to everyone who came along to cheer the children on – we all appreciate your support.
