Reporting an absence
A gentle reminder that when reporting an absence during term time this should be done through the school office on 01506 280060 or wlcalderwood-ps@westlothian.org.uk
As our nursery staff are on the floor playing and learning with the children the nursery phone or messages are only checked at specific times.
Calderwood Communicates in Nursery
This year, as part of our Nursery Improvement Plan, we are striving to improve literacy for all our children at Calderwood Nursery and ensure our literacy experiences are a high standard. To do this, Mrs Laing’s role as Early Years Officer involves leading the improvement of Literacy. This will include ensuring we have a literacy rich environment, working with children in small groups throughout the week to improve listening skills and increase vocabulary through play and stories. Participation in small groups will be encouraged and children wishing to play in other areas of the nursery will be able to do so.
I aim to share group learning with parents which will reinforce the learning we are doing in nursery. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to me directly.
HOME LINKS:
The children have been interested in learning about Dinosaurs.
Discuss your child’s favourite dinosaur with them. What did it look like, sound like, feel like, smell like? You could make one, draw one or record your discussion.
As always, please share any experiences with us on Online Learning Journals.
As ever, thank you for your continued support. If you would like to leave us any feedback, please click here.
Kindest Regards,
The Nursery Champions
