Here is a copy of the nursery newsletter that went out on the last day of term, apologies for anyone who hasn’t yet received it, a copy will be waiting for you on your child’s return to nursery on Monday 26th October.
Dear Parent/Carer,
After the holidays our first learning context of the term will be Autumn and Autumn festivals, to include Bonfire night and Halloween. As part of this we are going to be having a Halloween party and some fun activities as part of the session on Friday 30th October (first week back). Feel free to allow your child to come dressed up in a costume on that day if they wish. After the holidays we will hopefully be including an Autumn Walk and a visit to the library as part of our learning experiences, dates to be confirmed, so we will be looking for some parent helpers to accompany us on these. A letter will be going out regarding dates and times.
Also after the holidays we are starting a parent suggestion box system which will be located outside the main nursery door on the table. The system will involve 3 boxes, “Start”, “Stop”, and “Keep, ” allowing parents and carers to put in suggestions of things you would like us to consider starting to do, things that you would like us to consider not doing any more and things you are happy with and wish us to continue doing. If you would like us to get back to you on your suggestions, please feel free to include your name with your suggestion.
On November 9th – 13th we have registered to take part in World Nursery Rhyme week. We will be immersing ourselves in everything to do with literacy and rhymes and we will have a few specific ones for the children to listen to and learn as part of the programme for the week . . . . . and possibly a dress up day just for fun at the end of the week. How many nursery rhymes can you remember from your childhood? Maybe you could write down your favourites for the children to bring in for story and gather time.
The staff would like to thank you for sharing your child’s achievements on the “WOW” cards. The children are enjoying sharing and discussing their achievements with their friends and staff at gather times and this information is now being transferred into their own personal learning journeys against the Curriculum for Excellence experiences and outcomes.
Many thanks for your continued support with all the activities we have been working on during what has been a busy first term and we look forward to seeing you after the holidays.
We look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday 26th October.
