This week and next week at Hazeldene…

We have had an exciting week at Hazeldene taking part in lots of activities around our “Jolly Postman” book study. Some children even took part in a very special Japanese tea ceremony with Ethan’s mummy today, as the Jolly Postman loves to have a cup of tea!

Next week, due to popular demand, we will begin reading the Jolly Christmas Postman…

Children have started to learn the songs for our Christmas concerts, please help your child to practice at home with their song sheet. Each child may invite two guests to attend the concert and don’t forget to save your pennies for the Christmas market stalls! The dates of the concerts and Christmas parties are as follows:

Marie Curie Mini Pots of Care

The nursery has involved the children in supporting the work of Marie Curie Cancer Care. We have recently taken a delivery of daffodil bulbs and pots. The children will each plant a bulb in a pot and will take them home to care for them until they flower in spring time. They will then be asked to bring them in and talk about how they have cared for them and show how they have grown and hopefully flowered! This project is linked to our development of citizenship skills and an awareness of caring for others.

The nursery school will provide a donation of £100 to Marie Curie Cancer Care. We will also send home a donation leaflet with each child’s mini pot if anyone feels they wish to add a further donation. So good luck, and we will look forward to seeing the fruits of your child’s hard work and caring in the spring.

We are all great fundraisers at Hazeldene Nursery. Make sure you haven’t missed the previous blog post about our Pudsey Pyjama Party for Children in Need this Friday.
