This week we are continuing to settle the children into nursery, reminding them of and introducing them to nursery rules and routines. Our learning contexts are “Settling in” and “All about Me”.

The children have a home activity to complete with parents or carers to make a placemat for the snack table. This is an A4 piece of card which can have anything put onto it; photos, drawings, stickers, glitter, writing, pictures cut from magazines etc. They will be laminated at nursery by staff and then used by the children at snack time, hopefully assisting with conversations amongst the children and providing a comforting link with home. Please return these when completed ensuring the child’s name is clearly noticeable on the place mat and the decorations are flat to allow them to be laminated. We are looking forward to seeing the finished products!

We have a few “Wow” cards/notes  on the “Wow wall” which is great. We love to hear of all their achievements and it is great for the children to be able to share these with others. We look forward to seeing this wall build up with evidence of success stories both in and out of nursery, and these will then be transferred to the children’s learning journeys.
