Harvest Celebrations

Thank you to all those children and their families who kindly donated to the collection for our Harvest celebration. Some of the children are shown below with their donations. We feel sure that all the food will be much appreciated by those involved with Kate’s Kitchen. Many thanks to Rev. McGougan for delivering our donations and for joining us in Nursery for a Harvest celebration.
We also really appreciated your fantastic support on Monday when you provided a wonderful audience for the children. It was a lovely opportunity for us all to gather together to celebrate Harvest and we hope that you enjoyed the children’s performance as much as they seemed to. One of our aims is to develop ‘confident individuals’ and many of our children showed themselves to be exactly that in their performance. Well done boys and girls!

Learning To Count

Liam’s Mum enjoyed seeing the photos of our counting activity with Callum the Cat:

“Aw, look at Liam engrossed 🙂 So, that’s where he’s learning counting? Well done nursery. Liam loves it”

Callum the Cat seemed quite popular and the children were very keen to help him.

Carmen Loves Outdoor Play

Carmen enjoyed seeing her photo in the den in the Nursery garden. Her Mum left a comment:

“I showed Carmen the picture of her and her friends. She said they were hiding. She laughed and sayed look at Reagyn he’s trying to cuddle me. She loves playing outside she says she has lots of fun”

It’s been great to watch the children grow in confidence to build their dens and develop their imaginative play outdoors.

Well Done Charlie

Charlie’s Mum has left a lovely comment:

“So so so proud of Charlie at nursery. Tonight he listed all of his friends and it’s fantastic to hear he’s getting on so well. We do numbers at night time now and he’s very enthusiastic about getting it right. He loves to talk about his day and I love hearing about it. Thank you so much for bringing out his creative side xxx”

It’s great to hear that Charlie’s settling in so well. We hope that he continues to have lots of fun in Nursery.

Arcimboldo Takes Shape In Cream and Yoghurt

Both Ava and Bethany have impressed their families with their Arcimboldo work:

“wow what a fantastic picture Ava, very creative!”

We agree – this was a brilliant effort from Ava.

“Well done to all involved in the excellent Arcimboldo Project. It certainly held Bethany’s attention. Cara, her dog, also found her painting of special interest. She sniffed around the sweets until she was moved on! Keep up the good work.”

We’re glad that Cara appreciated Bethany’s work. Maybe you should display your picture up high on the wall Bethany just in case Cara fancies another look at it?

As promised, we thought we’d share the portraits that the children decided to make with different foods that they suggested – cream, yoghurt, bread and various fruit and vegetables. Obviously these choices of food could not really be glued very easily so the children each took their own photo of their work. We hope that you agree that they’ve done a very good job with their art work and photography.

Well Done

Sophie’s Mum has been looking at the super Star Award winners with their certificates:

“Well done to all kids for receiving Star Awards this week. Very proud of my little girl – Sophie ;-)”

Family Comments

It’s good to know that our families are enjoying visiting our blog. Teigan was pleased to see her photo with her favourite teddy:

“I love pinky, Ive had her since I was born”.

We loved meeting Pinky too so thanks for bringing her to Nursery Teigan.

Carmen has also been talking to her Mum about our new furniture:

“Carmen told me the nursery got table and chairs and a bed. I asked her what was her favourite she replied the table and chairs. I asked her why? She replied because they have coloured seats and my favourite is the red one.”

We are all very pleased with our new furniture too. We think that the children made a very good decision on how to spend their donation.

Well Done Rebecca

Rebecca’s Mum has made a comment on her photo:

“Well done to our Rebecca, we are glad that she has made friends”

We hope that you are proud of your certificate Rebecca because you certainly deserved it for being a super friend.

Garden Fun

Freya’s Mum has commented on one of our recent photos:

“Freya had a great day in the Nursery garden. Freya is really enjoying all aspects of the nursery and looks forward to going each day.”

Everyone seemed to enjoy digging up the vegetables and it was such a lovely sunny day to spend in the garden. It’s great to hear that Freya’s enjoying Nursery. Thank you for taking time to visit our blog and to make a comment.

Daphne’s Day In Nursery

Carmen’s Mum left a comment on her photo with Daphne bear:

“Carmen was very excited to be taking Daphne bear in to Nursery to see all her friends. She told me that Daphne was a good bear that day . She also told me that she would like to have another day where she could take another teddy.. Please!”

We’re glad to hear that Daphne enjoyed herself. We will keep in mind that Carmen has a few teddies she would like to bring to Nursery. I wonder if anyone else would like to do this another day?
