A successful first week of term

A big welcome back to the returning children who are demonstrating their eagerness to be back at nursery ready to learn, explore and discover.  Through consultations the children have offered their ideas on which resources and experiences should be available for them to participate in over the coming weeks, suggestion have included baking, playing outdoors, building pirate ships and playing with train track.  ‘The Three Little Pigs’ story has captured the children’s interest in all areas of the nursery and inspired them to build houses using different materials.

To ensure our newest children feel happy and secure when settling into Shotts Family Learning Centre we have sought advice from the experts (our pre-school children) on how we can include them and make them feel welcome.  This has proven to be a great success as all children are beginning to build friendships and recognise the feelings of others.  Here’s a sample of some suggestions.

The children are spending lots of time exploring the loose parts, water zone and mud kitchen during their outdoor learning that they are often needing a full set of outdoor clothes. Can you ensure that your child has spare clothing in their named nursery bag each session.

Three Read Approach to literacy nurturing early readers

Displayed on the whiteboard above the signing in register will tell you which practitioner was reading each particular story, as it may not always be your child’s key worker.

The Nurturing Early Readers home link pack will go home each week and should be returned to Christine or Nicola at the Literacy Tree each Thursday at the start of the session, where they will gather your views. The children will also be encouraged to share their favourite part of the story with their peers during the Nurture Read session.  Happy reading everyone.
