Witches, skeletons and a few superheroes arrived in Nursery yesterday for Hallowe’en. Thank you to all those who helped their children play the part – here are some photos we managed to capture of some of their super outfits. Watch out for photos in the local press too.
With all the wonderful outfits arriving in Nursery for Hallowe’en we thought that we should have a special snack so some of the children got busy, icing biscuits to turn them into tasty ghosts. They certainly seemed to go down a treat with everyone so well done those busy little bakers in the kitchen.
The children have been getting in the Hallowe’en spirit this week. They have painted flames to make a fire for our witch’s house, have been discovering what’s inside her house and trying out a few spells on their friends. Remember you can dress up tomorrow for Hallowe’en if you would like. I wonder if we will see lots of monsters and witches in Nursery?
This week we have welcomed Miss Shelley Palmer to our Nursery. She is in her third year of a B.A. in Childhood Studies at UWS. Initially Miss Palmer will be here for around two weeks then she will return next term to continue her placement with us. We wish her well and hope that she enjoys her time with us.
We would like to remind you that our “Stories, Rhyme and Fun” Family Learning sessions will begin tomorrow Tuesday 30th October. Sessions will be 9.00 – 9.30 or 12.15 – 12.45 and younger sisters and brothers are welcome to join in. We hope that lots of our families take this opportunity to have fun while developing their children’s literacy skills.
Nancy’s family has been looking at recent photos on our blog. She enjoyed our Autumn art work when the children collected leaves to use for printing.
“Nancy loved looking for leaves, she said it was so much fun 😁. Nancy said that leaf she had was the best, it was “so cool with all the jaggy bits” 😀 ”. Well done to all the children on collecting leaves & very colourful art work 😊 “
They also liked the photo of the children singing their harvest songs: “All the children done very well singing their songs. Well done to you all, we could all tell you all practiced very hard 😊”
There was a great photo of a small group of children pretending that they were on a rollercoaster: “Great imagination Nancy, your expression is what Mummys would be on a rollercoaster 😄 “.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave comments on our posts. It’s good to know that our families are enjoying looking at the blog.
We would like to remind you about our Hallowe’en disco tomorrow 30th October. Nursery children can attend from 6.00 until 7.00 and should have an adult stay with them. Hecklegirth Fundraisers use money raised to support events and buy resources to support all children in our school and Nursery so we hope that they got lots of families joining in this event.
Please remember that the children may dress up for Nursery on Wednesday for Hallowe’en if they wish but this is optional.
Congratulations go to our award winners from the end of last term. We are all very proud of your achievements.
As we begin to learn about different celebrations, with Hallowe’en, Bonfire Night and Diwali almost upon us, our “Word of the Week” this week will be celebration. We will talk about what celebrations look like in the lives of different families and cultures.
We hope that you have had a lovely holiday with your families and look forward to seeing you all tomorrow, Monday 29th October, for the start of the new term. Morning children have a soft start, as usual, between 8.45 and 9.10 and afternoon children start at 12.15.
