Action for Children Read and Play sessions (afternoon children)

It is soon to be the turn of the afternoon children for a read and play session. You will see with your child’s library book on Friday 11th that you got a card to fill out with regards to how much you look at books with your children and if you do any follow up activities relating to the books. Please fill these out and return to nursery as these are to do with the Read and Play pilot project being carried out in partnership with Action for Children.

On Tuesday 22nd September Lydia Simpson will be coming to nursery to read a story and do some fun craft activities directly relating to the story with the afternoon children. These have been really enjoyed by the children in the past. We are then inviting the afternoon parents to come along to take part in a session with their children to show how much fun and how easy it is to do activities relating to story books with items you can find around your home which really help the children to gain more learning and understanding from the story without realising they are doing so! This will be on Tuesday 29th September  1pm – 2pm, and 2pm – 3pm. Please let staff know which of these sessions you would prefer to attend.

14/9 – 18/9

This week and next in nursery we are celebrating Fairies! On Friday 18th it is the “International Fairy Tea Party” where countries all over the world have a fairy tea party and celebrate everything to do with fairies, so we thought it would be nice to join in! We have been planning with the children to find out what they would like to make and do over the next two weeks and what they know about fairies. Their ideas have been really inspring and our continuous provision reflects this. Ask your child to show you around the nursery next time you are in! We have fairy doors where we hope a fairy will pop through to visit, sparkles and glitter, flowers and nature, potions and wands . . . .. what more could we ask for!! it is going to be a magical 2 weeks!

This week we are making Fairy wands, creating a story about fairies in small groups and we have our tea party on Friday.
