Thank you to those families who have been giving suggestions for our good news trees. We have had lots of great suggestions and they are already beginning to fill up with news from home. Let’s hope that everyone can tell us about an achievement to share by the end of the year.

Good Teamwork
A team of painters was busy in the garden last week as we decided, once we had lifted the vegetables, that our raised beds were looking a little worse for wear. As you can see, they set about the task with great enthusiasm. Well done painting team – you did a super job working well together.
Letters and Numbers
Well done to those children who have brought letters and numbers from home for our display. Our display sheets are filling up now but there’s still room if anyone else wants to bring more in to Nursery. Remember to keep an eye out for letters and numbers when you are out and about – some of you are getting good at telling the difference between them.
Family Wall Hanging
We thought we’d share some of the work that the children and their families produced at the Family Learning activity last week. As you can see, there were lots of different ideas from everyone to decorate their squares. The Family Room will look great with your new wall hanging. Thank you to all those who took part.
Counting, Counting Everywhere
Outdoor play has involved a lot of counting skills this week. We have been busy counting shells, counting the stones on our mud pies and counting the number of balls we can roll down a pipe.
Setting the pipes up so that the balls would roll successfully down the pipe was another challenge in itself but the children are beginning to work well together in a team and they solved this problem for themselves.
Family Learning
We would like to draw your attention to our first Family Learning event of the year on Thursday 4th September. Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, is planning two morning and two afternoon sessions for you and your child to decorate canvas squares for a wall hanging in the Family Room (opposite the school hall).
A letter will be given out in Nursery this week explaining Family Learning to everyone and you can sign up for the sessions, if you wish, on the grids on display on the Family Learning board in the Nursery corridor. We hope that lots of families take the opportunity to join in this fun activity.
Important Post
Last week a small group of children had an important job to do as we had lots of letters to post. They were very important letters as they were telling the new boys and girls which group they would be in next year and were inviting them to come to Nursery for a visit. There were a lot of stamps to be stuck and letters to be posted but you must have done a good job as nearly all the new children came to visit us today. Thank you to all the families who brought the children for their visit today. We really enjoyed meeting you all and look forward to seeing you again in August.
A Special Invitation
Some of the children in the Sunshine Room were very busy this morning making a graduation invitation for Mrs. Alexander. There was some fantastic writing and lovely drawings to make it special and Mrs. Alexander was delighted to get her invitation. The children have been practising their songs and are looking forward to performing them to everyone on Tuesday.
We’re All Going On A Summer Holiday
The sunny weather seems to be putting a big smile on everyone’s face this week and lots of children have chosen to play in the garden. This happy, little group spent a long time working together to make a big bus because they wanted to go on their holidays. Well done for super teamwork boys and girls. I wonder what you’ll make next?
Outdoor Learning Is Fun
Now that the children are well settled in after their Easter holiday, they have been spending lots of time in the Nursery garden, having fun in their learning. Many children have been enjoying searching for the flagstones with letters on to match to their alphabet notes and some have been working well in teams to plan and build dens. As you can see they are very well focussed on the task in hand and excited to learn.
