Nursery News

On Monday we enjoyed our monthly visit to the library. Mrs Campbell told us it was the 30th Anniversary of the book “Five Minutes Peace” and she very kindly read this story to us. We sat so nicely and listened so well that she gave us all very special “Five Minutes Peace” stickers! Thank you very much Mrs Campbell!!  🙂

We all agreed that we should try and give our mummies and daddies five minutes peace too!!!

 

Please click on the video below if you would like to read the story again with your child.

We are still absolutely loving our nursery shop! This week it has been ASDA and next week we have decided to make it into a Pet Shop! We are so excited! We are continuing to learn about money and prices and have loved experimenting with coins. We might even be able to go on a trip to Pets at Home to do some market research……..watch this space!!!!

Today some very clever Primary 3 children came to nursery to share their learning about money too. They told us where money comes from and how you can get it out of the bank. They also explained to us all the different types of coins and notes and cards you can use! We were very impressed! Thank you Cameron, Seamus, Emma and Daniel for coming to visit us, you were so confident and we really enjoyed it! 🙂

 

This week it is the AM Class turn to share their learning on the blog-

Abu Bakr- “I liked talking about the nursery rules and learning to be be quiet at listening time.”

Abigail- “This week my favourite thing was playing with my friends Roma and Lucy.”

Seren- “We have a nursery shop and we have been learning about money. I like giving the shopkeeper money.”

Roma- “I like the new poster about the rules”

Christopher- “I like playing in the shop. It is Asda this time.”

Joshua- “My favourite part of nursery is the magnets because you can make anything you want.”

 

We would like to thank the parents who have given us feedback this week, we really appreciate all your comments and suggestions, Thank you! 🙂

If you would like to give us feedback, please write your ideas on the post-it notes provided in the nursery entrance way:

Remember green is for growth- “How can we improve?”

Pink is for tickled pink- “What do we do well?”

LOST PROPERTY

Finally, we would like you help us with our lost property area. As you may be aware, the AM class will be increasing from 30 children to 40 children after the Easter holidays. To accommodate these new children we need to use the yellow area of the cloakroom which is currently used as our lost property area. All the items from this area will now need to be claimed before Friday 3rd March.

We would like to remind all parents and carers that all items including bags, shoes, coats etc must be taken home with your child at the end of each session. This ensures that items do not get lost or mixed up with the other nursery class.

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone,

The nursery team 🙂
