First of all we would like to say a big thank you to all the parents and carers who came along to our Stay and Play or Come back and Play sessions over the past two weeks. The children loved being able to share their learning experiences with you and show you round our nursery .
On Monday there was a spooky atmosphere in nursery as we had our Halloween parties. We all had a great time dooking for apples, trying to eat doughnuts and listening to a spooky story. We even managed to visit the library and pick some spooky stories to bring back with us.
We have been making firework pictures this week using paint, glitter and cardboard tubes. They look fantastic. We have also been discussing what we like and don’t like about fireworks and putting our ideas into our talking books. These books are on display and you are welcome to have a look at them at any time. We have also been having great fun in our leaves sensory box where we can walk on the leaves and listen to the sound we are making and look at the patterns in the leaves.
This week it is our PM children who will share their learning with us.
Mark, Riley and Luke ” We liked painting the Firework pictures”
Robert ” I liked playing in the sand.”
Courtney ” I liked playing in the water with the spiders! ”
Kayla ” I liked playing with the trains.”
Emileigh Rose and Lilly ” We liked playing in the kitchen and house corner ”
Emilie M and Jiya ” We love building things with the magnets ”
Szymon ” I love snack.”
Next week is National Nursery Rhyme week. We will be looking at a different nursery rhyme each day and there is a quiz which you can take home and try with your child. These will be given out on Monday. Good luck.
Parental appointment times have now been given out for either Wednesday 9 th November or Thursday 10th November. If you have not received a time and would like to talk to your child’s key worker please just ask any member of the nursery team who will be happy to help you.
We are also wanting to update our Nursery Behaviour Policy and we would really appreciate your thoughts and ideas. Please join Mrs Purdie and some of the Nursery team on Tuesday 8th November for Breakfast Blether at 10.30 or Afternoon tea at 2.15 to have a chat regarding this. We will also be asking for the children’s ideas and we have some exciting small visitors who will be coming to our Nursery to help us. Watch this space!
As you know the children also experience outdoor learning at Nursery and we are looking to build on the resources we already have to enrich further learning opportunities. If you have any of the following items to spare we would really appreciate it if you could hand them in to any member of the team.
Nuts and bolts, nails and screws, bricks, small hammers, saws and screwdrivers, pieces of wood, curtain hooks or rings, jars with lids and pieces of material. Thank you.
Have a lovely weekend and stay safe with Firework and Bonfire night.
The Nursery Team.
