We hope that you have had time to look at our literacy posters which aim to give helpful, simple advice to support your child’s communication development. Thank you to those parents who helped us plan the format of the posters and to those who have kindly left us feedback on them in the form of post-it notes. We would appreciate any further comments to help us evaluate our work.
Please help yourself to a post-it note and add your comments – the posters are on display on the board near the Nursery entrance.

Favourite Books
Kobe’s family has been looking at our photos of World Book Day:
“Kobe loved taking one of his favourite books to nursery”
Lots of the children seemed to enjoy this day and it was great to share all their books from home. Thank you for participating.
World Book Day Celebrations
Despite the original World Book Day celebrations being postponed due to the bad weather, we still had a lovely delayed event on Tuesday of this week. Lots of children dressed in their pyjamas or comfy clothes and brought their favourite books from home to share with us. What a lot of stories the Nursery ladies read that day! It was super to enjoy such a wide range of books with the children and to hear about what they enjoyed most.
“Bag Library”
We would like to remind you that Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, will be starting her “bag library” tomorrow, Thursday 8th March, outside Nursery. These story, rhyme and number bags are designed to encourage your child to enjoy reading and numbers and families can borrow a bag each week.
If your child attends Nursery in the morning you can collect a bag when you collect your child at the end of the morning session. The bag should be returned the following Thursday at the start of the morning session when you should leave it on your child’s peg. You can collect your new bag at the end of the session.
If your child attends Nursery in the afternoon you can return and collect a bag on a Thursday when you bring your child at the start of the Nursery session.
We hope that lots of families take advantage of this opportunity and thank Eileen for arranging it.
Choosing Books
Letti and Oscar’s family liked their photo at the book fair:
“Letti and Oscar both enjoyed choosing books from the book fair with their big sister to enjoy at home.”
We hope that you managed to get some great books. I wonder if your big sister helped you read the stories?
Reading Together New Dates
As we were disappointed that our families missed the opportunity for our reading together sessions last week, due to the adverse weather, we have rearranged the parent and child reading times for this Thursday 8th March (11.35 and 2.40), and Friday 9th March (11.35). We hope to see you then to share stories with your children.
World Book Day
World Book Day will now be held on Tuesday 6th March. The children can wear their pyjamas, onesies or non-uniform and can bring a favourite book from home to share with us. We look forward to seeing which books the children choose to bring to Nursery.
Share Your Stories
We are all missing the children, due to the Nursery and school closure, but it is important that everyone stays safe in these adverse weather conditions. We are looking forward to hearing what you have been doing in the snow when we return hopefully on Friday.
It would be great if you shared your stories here on the blog too – just click on ‘0 comments’ under our title above (“Share Your Stories”) to let us know what you have been doing at home.
