Month: August 2020

We have been making the most of the great weather by taking our learning outdoors!

At Mearns nursery children, staff and families plan the learning together. We display our planning in the nursery and blog about it weekly.

Families are encouraged to share their children’s interests and learning needs and this can be done by talking to staff or posting in the comments section of the blog.

Staff gather the children’s ideas through conversations and observations and add them to the board.

This allows the staff to support and extend children’s learning while following their interests.

We have had such fun together this morning!

Please put your child’s healthy snack into their lunchbox and not their clothes bag. Staff will support them in selecting it at snack time. Also, if cutlery is required for their lunch, please pop it inside the lunchbox as well.

Every child should also come to nursery with a filled water bottle. We would also be grateful if all items, including bags, lunchboxes, bottles, snack boxes, shoes and all clothing are clearly labelled.

Finally, as we make the most of the remainder of summer, can we please ask you to be Sun Smart. Applying sunscreen in the morning and ensuring your child has a hat and something to cover their skin later in the day will help protect them as they enjoy their outdoor play.

Thank you as always for your support.
