NURSERY – SCHOOL FAIR

Reminder:    Christmas Fayre will be held this Saturday (14th December) 10am-1pm in the Dinner Hall of our School.

The Nursery children have had a little enterprise going over the past few weeks and have been working hard to make beautiful tree decorations and lot’s of other goodies to sell.

Please support the Nursery and School by coming along and enjoying a festive filled morning!

Home baking is required for our baking stall, please hand any donations to the school or nursery on Friday 13th.  Many thanks.

NURSERY – NEW WOOD WORK BENCH

In nursery we have started to introduce a new wood work bench and tools to the children. Some of the children have spoken about how we use the different tools and how we can stay safe when using them.  Next week the children will have the opportunity to practice hammering nails into the wood.

Wood work is a great activity for children to gain real first hand experiences and it also allows them to develop their hand eye coordination, risk management, problem solving skills and their fine motor control.

NURSERY PARENT INVOLVEMENT

We would like to thank all the parents and carers who came in during our Stay and Play sessions last week.  The children love to share with their families what they do at Nursery.

Also big thanks for your kind donations for the Christmas School Fayre, they are all very well appreciated.

 

As we continue  to develop our Nursery and Nursery grounds we are looking for idea’s from Parents and Carers.  Your suggestions are valued and appreciated.  Please add any idea’s to the Blue Sheet next the signing in sheets. Thank you.

We are also looking for words that describe what you value in Early Years to create a ‘Wordall’ (picture made up of words).  Please`share your words with Nursery Staff.

 

SCHOOL FAYRE

We have been busy preparing for the school fayre in Nursery.  The children have decorated baubles and pine cones and helped to slice oranges to hang on our tree’s.  We will be selling these handmade goodies at our Nursery stall.  Please support PSA fundraising for the school and nursery by coming along to our fayre on Saturday 14th December 10am-1pm.  Thank you for your support.

 

NATURE & WILDLIFE

Last week the children helped to look after our wildlife by making bird feeders using apples and sesame seeds.  During their daily walk they found tree’s to hang them from.  This helps the children develop an understanding of nature and how we can help birds and other wildlife stay well fed during the colder months.  There has been a lot of discussion from the children regarding migrating birds and moles and hedgehogs hibernating over winter.

 

NURSERY – BOOK WEEK

Story Stones

During Book Week we introduced new Story Stones.  The children had great fun using them to recall and retell familiar stories and to help introduce a story line into their own storytelling.  They used their imagination well to create their very own storybooks through drawing pictures.
