Mrs. Gray has kindly left a message for the children:
“Hello boys and girls_ I have had such a lovely week in the new Raindrop room and garden. Lots of laughs, chat and learning while building relationships with the new staff, children and their families.I have been shopping and bought some new gloves to keep your little hands cosy in this chilly weather while we play in the garden.”
I think we might need those gloves this week Mrs. Gray. Thank you for thinking of everyone.
We would like to share our “Word of the Week” for the week ahead. The Rainbow Room will be learning ‘hibernation’ while the Raindrop Room will have ‘tartan’ as their “Word of the Week”. It would be great if families could use these words at home too to try to develop the children’s understanding of our focus words.
After two weeks using our new environment for the red and blue groups, we have been asking the children their views on their new room.
Remy: I like the playdough and painting.
Kai: I’m hiding treasure.
Tilly: the brick corner’s good.
Jasmin: I like the playdough.
William: I like the sand tray.
Ellie: I like the foam, it smells nice.
Clara: I like the new book corner.
Evan: I like playing with the sand in the garden.
Mason: I like playing with my friends.
Kara: I like the sand tray.
Robin: I liked the other Nursery but I like this room best.
The children have coped so well with the changes and we hope that they all continue to enjoy their new environment as the term progresses.
Very well done to the first award winners of 2019. You both look very proud of your certificates. Keep up the good work!
It’s amazing what a tray of foam can provide in Nursery – you can make patterns, write your name, develop fine motor control and, of course, enjoy a wonderful sensory experience. This foam tray has been very popular in the Raindrop Room this week and has been a great social experience as new children and those who have been with us a while have got to know each other simply by sharing a calming, sensory experience.
A small group of children enjoyed our first fire of 2019 last week as part of their outdoor play. As always, the children listened well to stay safe and certainly enjoyed the delicious warm marshmallows that they toasted. Those large marshmallows seemed particularly popular.

We have now updated the link to “Our Staff” under “Support Information” on the right hand side of our page. This link will tell you about all staff in Nursery and what their roles are. If you are new to our Nursery, it may be worth investigating some of our other links down the right as we have built up some useful information there for all families.
We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all our new staff who started this term. An increase in hours meant that we needed to expand our staff and we are delighted that, after interview, we were able to add the staff below to our team. Mrs. Stott and Mrs. J. Carruthers will be familiar faces to you all but they are now in new roles. We congratulate all the new staff, wish them well in their posts and look forward to working with them all in the future.
Thank you to Violeta’s family for leaving a kind comment:
“I want to say thank you to all staff for the big help you are giving us. I no she enjoyed every day. Xx”
It’s lovely to hear how our families are feeling about their children settling in. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment.
