Once again we are supporting Children in Need and this year the nursery are having a ‘wear spots’ theme. Please don’t go to any expense but if your child has any item of clothing with a spot pattern on it they are encouraged to wear it to nursery this Friday.
We have planned some fun spotty activities for all the children to take part in throughout the session.
We will also be collecting £1 donations for this fantastic charity.
What a fantastic Halloween party at Keir Hardie Nursery Class! We started by having a costume parade and all the children were super excited to show everyone their superb costumes. Everyone enjoyed dancing, Halloween musical bumps, pumpkin carving and we listened to the spooky story of “The Hairy Toe”. After our party games we had a special Halloween snack. Finally, we watched the story we have been learning about “Room on the Broom” and sang some of our Halloween songs.
Our Halloween party will take place on Monday the 31st of October. The nursery session times are as normal. We look forward to seeing all your Halloween costumes and having a fun filled party with games, songs, and some trick or treats too.
We are going to be developing our outdoor area in nursery. This is going to be huge project to enhance the learning environment for all the children. As a nursery we are eager to find out what your thoughts, feelings and ideas are towards improving the area. Some of the ideas the children have come up with are; mud kitchen, water play and cars/trucks outside. If you have items that you feel would be of benefit and willing to donate it, it would be greatly appreciated it. Eg. Utensils for our kitchen/trucks/old pots and pans, plastic pipes etc.
If you have any skills that you feel may be of benefit or questions please do not hesitate to speak to Miss Fox for further information. Eg. Joiners, painters, labourers.
For any of you that might be interested you can buy sets of foam letters and numbers that stick to the side of your bath and would be a valuable addition to any bath time routine.
These could be used in several ways to promote literacy and numeracy development at home.
Recently available in ALDI at a cost of £2.99 the above pictured set or similar can also be purchased in ASDA, Tesco and Amazon – prices will vary!
In Nursery we have been enjoying playing with the balls in the outdoor area. We got an exciting delivery of 50 balls and all the boys and girls had to opportunity to fill the ball with air. We have been learning in order for the ball to fill with air we have to use our muscles to push and pull the pump. We had great fun playing outside with the balls playing a variety of different games.
Callum- I like playing dodgeball with the balls, somebody has to kick it to catch people. I was catching people then it was someone else’s turn.
Liam- Throw the ball into the net, it made me feel good. We made a line to get turns.
Zoe- Bouncing the balls, it was easy.
Logan- Kick the balls, play football and score a big goal.
Carsen- I liked playing basketball with balls. You have to use your hand to practise.
Isla- I liked throwing the balls high, I used my hands to hold the ball aswell.
