To support learning at home we have taken our lending library and home learning bags outdoors! Please feel free to borrow any of the resources available, there is no need to sign them in or out.
When you have finished enjoying them just pop them in the boxes in the foyer. All returned resources will be quarantined for 72h before being made available again for borrowing.
Staff are also happy to help you select books and bags that will meet your child’s needs.
This month we are exploring the books of Nick Butterworth. Many of his books feature woodland animals and they are set in different seasons which are two themes the children have expressed interest in recently.
Which of his books is your favourite?
If you have your child’s Snap Shot book at home could you please send it back in so the children can update it with their latest adventures in nursery.
Thank you
In Mearns nursery we value working closely with families to provide an environment and learning opportunities to support to enhance each child’s individual learning journey.
Part of this involves staff carrying out detailed learning observations. Each term your child will be selected as the focus child and their learning journey will be closely followed over the course of a week.
Prior to this you will be sent a Planning For Your Child’s Learning Journey form where you will have the opportunity to share with your child’s key worker their current interest, experiences and learning needs. Allowing you to feed into the observation process.
At the end of the observation week you will be sent your child’s Snap Shot book and observation sheet to share and enjoy with them. You will also be asked to complete the Evaluating Your Child’s Learning Journey form.
Finally you you will have the opportunity to share a call with your child’s key worker to discuss the observation and to work together to agree your child’s next steps in learning.
This morning the children rushed into the playground and immediately started making a giant emergency vehicle! It provided transport for police, fire fighters and doctors.
This year the children are going to be learning about where their food comes from and the journey from field to fork. To support this we welcomed the arrival of new raised beds into the nursery playground.
Together we built the beds, lined the grass with cardboard and filled them with compost. They are now ready for some green manure to be sown to prepare the soil for planting in the spring.
Over the next few months the children and staff will be working together to plan which fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers we are going to plant across the year.
We are looking forward to planting, tending and eating our own food. If you or your family would like to share your knowledge or skills with us we would welcome your support.
