The nursery team were excited to welcome the children back after their holidays. The areas in the nursery had been moved around and the children had fun during the first day exploring the new opportunities for play. As usual the building bricks proved very popular with a lot of construction and boat building going on as well as the house corner with some cooking and washing up taking place. In the afternoon some of the children helped to prepare snack and demonstrated great skill when spreading the margarine on the crackers.  This coming week the focus will continue to be on Winter and developing independence but the writing area will become a post office as the children in both sessions have shown an interest in writing and making letters.

We were very lucky to have new toys and resources delivered in to the nursery this week.  The new blocks and water tray has significantly enhanced children’s cooperative skills.  The children have played so well together and have become more responsible and respecting of their toys.

We also started our 2 week focus topic of Winter.  Children have been able to describe the change of weather and some were even able to talk about hibernation.

The week ahead is going to be a busy but yet another fun filled week for the children.  We have Moustale puppets performing on Tuesday, which we are all looking forward to!

Children have been busy creating crafts for the Christmas Fair, which is on Wednesday 2nd December from 6-8pm, please try to attend as each child has created a personalised calendar.

Last week the focus was chosen by the nursery boys and girls.  The majority of children wanted to learn about helicopters and aeroplanes, so we decided to focus on Air transport.  Children really enjoyed making their own hot air balloons, pretending to be aeroplanes and learning all about the different purposes of helicopters.

The christmas treat has been confirmed as a UV puppet show and permission forms have been distributed.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to a member of the Nursery team!

Looking forward to all the fun this week brings! Children have already had so much fun today with all the new toys that have been delivered in to the nursery (Pictures to follow this week!) :).

We are LIVE!

The online journals are now accessible for parents and carers.  Please check your emails for a username and link to access your child’s online journal. The nursery team have been working hard to establish each child’s online profile and intend to build on them with continous quality observations throughout the year. We hope you enjoy finding out about the learning experiences and progress your child has during their time at nursery.  The nursery team would greatly appreciate parents and carers recording comments alongside the observations.
