Summer Raffle

The plans for our new nursery garden are taking off and we would like to hold one last raflle before the holidays.

We have 2 Summer Hampers up for grabs and this raffle is for one week only! The hampers contain summer toys, frozen cocktails, perfume, sun cream and some accessories to make enjoying the sunny weather (if we get any) even more  fun!

Tickets go on sale on Monday 20th June until Friday 24th and will be drawn on  Monday 27th June by the children.

Go on have a go!

This week 6/6/16

This week is National School Grounds Week. We are going to set the children small challenges to try to complete throughout the week using the available space and equipment, and we are going to ask the children for ideas on challenges to set for the week during group time. We are also going to use the opportunity to get the children to think about risk and assessing this risk whilst in the garden and then reporting back to the rest of the class in their groups.

It is also National Dough Disco Day on Thursday which we are looking forward to,  using some different songs and really practising those pre writing hand and finger strengthening exercises.

 

Nursery Sports

Even though it was a cold and cloudy day, which eventually rained on us, we had a fab sports Day on Wednesday 25th May. We started off with our races, and then a competitive parents race, we stopped for snack and then started our potted sports. To end the morning  we received a medal and a choc ice!

Blueside morning visit to the Library

On Wednesday the blueside children walked to the library for our own storytime session. We had a tour of the library and then we acted out a story and sang a song about caterpillars turning into butterflies. We listened to a story about a boy who ate books and another silly story called “slugs for breakfast.” Then we got to choose some books to bring back to nursery before walking back up the road. Everyone had a really good time.
