St Bartholomew's Nursery

We have been learning to develop our independence skills at snack. We have been counting 2 scoops of cereal and half filling our cups with milk or water.

We have been exploring foods in the mud kitchen making soup and wraps.

We have been having a great time with the dinosaurs, we have built them houses using the bricks, letting them climb on the mountain and using them to make greats prints with.

We have been building and stacking different materials indoors and outdoors to help us develop our fine motor skills.

We were exploring the uncooked rice emptying and filling cups and container. One child said they liked to eat rice so we took some and cooked it in the microwave to discover the differences between uncooked and cooked rice. We had a discussion about how it looked and how it felt some children said sticky, soft and white.

 We are aware that returning to Nursery will be an exciting but anxious time for you all. We will be bringing children back in smaller groups to support yourself and your child to be reassured and settled back into Nursery.

 The procedures for entry and exit the nursery are still the same as before:

Unfortunately parents will not be able to enter the building to drop your child off or to pick them up, however you will find a familiar member of Nursery Staff at the door to greet you.

To enter the nursery/school grounds via the gate on Deveron Street and follow the arrows on the path down the side of the building to the nursery door. At the door you will find a stop sing to signify the drop off point. Once you have dropped off your child you turn back and follow the arrows back up the path to exit the same gate onto Deveron Street

Please remember to follow the rules:

2 meter social distancing at all times

Wearing of a face mask when coming to the nursery.

The Nursery Staff have been busy contacting all the families returning on Monday 22nd February.

If you have not received a phone call or email by Friday can you please contact the school office to check your contact details.
