Dear Parents/Carers,
March has arrived with a wintery reminder of the force of Mother Nature!! Fingers crossed for warmer and drier weather. The children are enjoying the last few weeks of this term with a focus on energetic play to help lead a healthy life as well as literacy and numeracy skills. They will be developing these life skills through exploring their interests as well as the local community. If you have any ideas for an outing please share them with us. 
Our Toddler Team will be exploring the seasonal changes in their world. They will also be busy moving to music and enjoying lots of stories and rhymes. Why don’t you spend a short time in the playroom sharing a story with the children? We would love to see you!
Our PATHS programme supporting children’s skill in managing their feelings and emotions has been making steady progress. Please look at our PATHS walls for more information. We are also finalising our arrangements for our parent’s information meetings around giving safe messages to our children; the focus will be on on how to make good decisions about their personal safety. Look out for more information. Look for the PANTS RULE! Coming soon!
Nursery Toys and resources – parents please help! 
We continue to spend time and effort on developing children’s skills in caring for our resources and putting them away when finished. This again is a very important life skill as well as helping them develop good learning habits. Please support this by encouraging your child to tidy up their toys at home and keep their rooms tidy. Let us know how they are doing so we can celebrate their efforts. Thank you.
Garden 
As we approach spring our thoughts turn to spring cleaning our garden and planting vegetables and flowers for the summer. We need your help so please come along and join us in our garden –we really need your help. Our outdoor learning area is in need of a total revamp. Old wooden items need removing and new ones need put in place. So please come along and join us as we try to grow our outdoor area for our young children where they can explore and grow in a safe and secure but exciting area! Everyone is welcome!
Busy playing – OH SORRY LEARNING!
Sometimes our children are so focused on what they are doing that they forget to visit the toilets or look at how wet they have become in the excitement of exploring their world! We have now run out of spare clothes to change your child, so please, please help us by handing back any spare clothes you may have been given — or give any spare clothes you may have. Thank you.
