Thank you all for your help in making our St Andrew’s Day celebrations such a success. The children were fantastic as always.

This week will be an exciting week as we explore winter and Christmas.

We will also be collecting for our Christmas hamper. Remember we still need milk bottles.

Hi everyone, we are hoping to build an igloo for our winter learning experiences in the nursery. However we need LOTS of milk cartons. If you use 2 litre (4pint) cartons could you please bring us your empty cartons?
Thank you.

This week we will be learning all about St Andrew and the story behind Scotland’s patron saint.

We will also start selling raffle tickets for our St. Andrew’s Day hampers. We need volunteers to help us sell these at the start and end of the session. If you are available just speak to a member of staff.

Monday 24th: Today is the day for the morning Hedgehogs to go to the library. For this to happen we still need some volunteers. REMEMBER you don’t need to go with your child’s group, so if you are free and willing to help, it would be greatly appreciated.

We have been experimenting with musical instruments in the nursery.

We have been playing the instruments and deciding whether they sound like the weather we get at this time of year. So far we’ve heard rain, wind and even snow.

Here is the flapjack recipe we use at the nursery.

150g Oats
90g Margarine
90g Demerara Sugar.

Add 1 tablespoon full of syrup or honey if you wish.

Mix well and place in a small tray approx. half an inch deep.

Bake at 220 degrees centigrade for about 10 minutes until the flapjack is golden brown.

GOOD LUCK! 🙂

The ‘AM’ Hedgehogs will be going to the library on Monday 24th November and the ‘PM’ Hedgehogs on Thursday 27th November.

We require volunteers to be able to go on these visits. If you are able to come with us, please write your name on our sign up sheets in the nursery cloakroom. Thanks.

Remember, remember the 5th of November. To mark bonfire night we had our own bonfire/campfire at nursery. We sang and ate our snack at the campfire and even toasted marshmallows. We discussed the dangers of fires and even had our own fire marshals keeping us safe.
