Read and Play parent and child activity with Action for Children

On the morning of  Friday 4th September we were offered the chance for a parent and child “Play and Read” session with Lydia Simpson from Action for Children. The sessions were well received by the parents that attended and really positive feedback was given which was great. Lydia demonstrated story telling followed by a simple but engaging craft activity based on an aspect of the story and how easy it is to do this. More ideas can be found in the “Play@Home” book that was distributed to parents last year. The children listened to the story “Ten Little Pirates” from the pirate Bookbug bag and made paper plate pirates and jellyfish.

7/9 – 11/9

This week we are continuing the learning context “All about Me!”. We are looking at emotions, what these look like and what makes us feel this way. We are looking forward to the children’s interpretations and descriptions of feelings.

We are also continuing measuring the children’s heights. There is a height chart at the front door of the nursery which is going to be developed over the course of this week to show the heights of different animals to see which we are as tall as. Come and measure yourself and see which animal you are as tall as . . .

Please continue to complete the WOW cards as the children and staff are really enjoying sharing this news with the other children.

Please return any outstanding placemats so we can laminate them and  the children can start to use them at snacktime. The ones we have received so far are fantastic and we have enjoyed discussing the pictures and information on them with the children.
