Painting In The Sun

Two of our families have commented on the lovely photos of the children enjoying various activities out in the sunshine last week.

“It was lovely to have some sunshine last week , both the girls look like there really enjoying painting together outside.”

“The fun in the sun photos are lovely, it’s interesting seeing the staff and children doing lots of different activities. Keira looks as if she’s concentrating the paintings she brings home are lovely.”

Thank you for leaving us your comments. The children do love painting outdoors.

Looking Cool

Emma’s family enjoyed her photo playing in the sun last week:

“Looking cool in the garden. Emma loves playing outside and it’s been great that we’ve had some sunshine so the kids can enjoy fun times outside.”

Let’s hope that the sun remembers to come back soon!

Making New Friends

The family of one of our children who started this week has been looking at our blog:

“Brogan has settled in fine at nursery and seems to be enjoying his time here and also making new friends as well as playing and learning”

We are glad that Brogan is enjoying his start to Nursery life. Thank you for leaving us a comment. We hope that you continue to enjoy visiting the blog to see what’s happening in Nursery.

Language Programme

For those parents who have been using our English language programme to develop their child’s communication skills, I have now added books nine and ten to our blog. They can be found if you click on the link on the right that says “Learning English”. Although initially intended for children with English as an Additional Language, this programme could be useful for any children who need a little help and encouragement to develop their language skills. We hope that these new books are useful to support your child’s learning at home.

Decorated Eggs

Sophie’s Mum has been looking at the photos of the eggs the children decorated for the Easter competition:

“sophie loved making these easter chicks it was great fun”

We thought that there were so many fantastic eggs, it must have been very difficult to choose a winner. We were delighted that so many of our families took part and we hope that you all enjoyed doing this together at home.

Hello From Joe

We have had a lovely message from Joe’s family:

“Thank you all, children and staff for a magical 3/4 of a year !! Joe is missing you all very much especially playing out side too , hope to keep in touch take care Joe and his family x”

We would love it if you kept in touch Joe and hope that you have great fun at your new school.

Thank You Joe

We would like to thank Joe and his family for their very kind gifts as he said his good-byes at the end of term. The children in the Rainbow Room were so excited to open the parcels that Joe brought and everyone is looking forward to playing with his super gifts. The garden set was immediately put into action in our flower shop and seemed to be a great success. Mrs. Alexander and all the Nursery staff would like to say a huge thank you to Joe and his family for their kind generosity. We will miss you Joe but are sure that you will have a super time at your new school.

Easter Animals

We have another family who told us that they enjoyed Eileen’s recent Family Learning activity:

“Emma and daddy had great fun with Eileen making some lovely Easter animals.”

We’re glad that you both enjoyed yourselves. It did look like good fun.

Easter Crafts

Two of our parents have left comments about our Family Learning Easter activities:

“Thank you Eileen for our Easter craft session. Callum especially enjoyed the sing song.”

Summer’s Mum said, “A bit tricky to get elastic on the mask but all great fun for Easter!”

I remember that elastic being tricky but I’m glad to hear that you all had fun.

Easter In Poland

The morning children recently enjoyed a visit from Suzie’s Mum who told us all about how Easter is celebrated in Poland. Some of the traditions are similar to ours, such as Easter cards and decorated boiled eggs, but her family also makes decorations for their home and the church is usually decorated with flowers. We loved some of the decorations that Suzie’s great aunt made from paper and it was very kind of her to make us a beautiful bird to display in Nursery. Suzie’s family in Poland take food to church in a decorated basket and, once the food has been blessed, it is part of a big celebration meal which normally includes ham and eggs.
We would like to thank Suzie’s Mum for taking the time to talk to us about Easter in Poland. It was very interesting for children and staff.
