The children (and staff) had a spooktacular time at the nursery Halloween Party. Their costumes were fantastic and we would like to thank all the parents and carers for their cooperation.

As part of the Halloween topic, we have been learning about staying safe when trick or treating, how to use a knife safely and increasing our vocabulary through songs and rhymes.

PEEP will be resuming on Wednesday 7th November. Please speak to a member of staff for more information.

As the weather is beginning to turn colder, could we please remind parents and carers that we do go outside in all weathers and ask that the children have appropriate clothing ( hats, gloves, scarves, etc).

As you are aware, in the last week we have said goodbye to Mrs Ross and Miss Renwick.  We wish both of them all the best in their new adventures and look forward to meeting Miss Renwicks new family member soon.

We wish to welcome Mr Barrowman, our new Acting Head Teacher, to Blackridge and our nursery class.

The children have been very busy over the past two weeks.  They have been learning about some of the creatures who live under the sea, tasting harvest vegetables and playing firefighters.

Nursery Parents Evening takes place on Wednesday 10th October and all appointment times have now been issued.  If you have any queries, please speak to a member of the nursery staff.

The Parent Council will be hosting a movie evening for the school on Thursday 11th October.  The nursery children will be given the opportunity to watch a movie during their session on Tuesday 9th October for the PM session and Wednesday 10th October  for the AM session. The children will be given a treat of popcorn during their movie.
