Happy Thursday evening!

Next week the nursery is gearing up for book week. We will be doing lots of activities in the nursery and there will also be a book fair at the school. Next week is a busy week with parent teacher interviews on Thursday from 4-8. Make sure to check with your child’s key worker if you are unsure of the time.

For book week, would all children please bring in their favourite book. Nothing that is too precious to them, or would be missed during the week. We will be sharing these with the class during the week, and all children will be given the opportunity to talk about their book during group time next week. Miss Mitchell and Mrs Chalmers will keep the books safe at nursery and return them on Friday.

Happy weekend PM nursery, and we shall see the AM nursery in the morning!

Today is our Autumn walk day and I don’t think that we could have asked for a nicer day. The Autumn sun is shining, and it is just a little bit cold!

The AM nursery ventured forth looking for signs of Autumn and were able to find lots. Berries have begun to grow on the trees, acorns have begun to fall, and there were lots of brown leaves to be collected for our display.

The PM class helped Miss Bonnes to celebrate her birthday when we went on our walk. The sun was shining, but there was still lots of Autumn signs to see. We played lots of colour parachute games, and collected lots of leaves for our display.

A lovely surprise awaited us in the nursery garden this morning. The spiders had been very busy over night, and had created a wonderful display of webs around the garden fence. With the damp morning, we were able to see just how wonderful and detailed the webs were.

The AM nursery went out on a walk around the school to see all of the webs, and to spot all the different locations the spiders had been building their webs!

Have a good weekend!

Another successful walk  in the rain this afternoon. Unfortunately the weather gods were not shining on us this afternoon, and the nursery ventured out on our second walk of the day!

The PM nursery had lots of fun playing in the rain, and singing lots of weather related songs, serenading the rest of the primary school as they worked.

Thank you to both AM and PM parents for bringing children dressed up today.

Remember: The nursery will be going out in ALL weathers! Remember to come dressed appropriately!

This week in the nursery garden we have been using the ‘mind stretchers’  big box of sticks. The children have been creating their own models, and telling wonderful stories. We have also been learning to share the space in the nursery garden, so that everyone is able to play together.

Welcome back to all of the AM and PM nursery children, and welcome to  the brand new Blackridge Nursery Class blog!

We have had a wonderful start to the year with all the children settling into the new class very well.

Your nursery staff this year are Miss Mitchell, Nursery Teacher and Mrs Chalmers, Nursery Practitioner.

We will be updating this blog on a regular basis, keeping you updated with everything that is going on in the nursery. Please feel free to comment on the experiences that we will be posting.

Mrs Chalmers and I will also post reminders about school trips, forms and requests for parent helpers.

happy blogging!
