We have attached some of the learning ideas for this week that the children have discussed with us. We hope it gives you an idea of some of the activities the children are being offered and allows you some discussion opportunities with your child about their learning. outline of children’s learning ideas 12.10.15

The nursery will be collecting food donations all next week for harvest festival and would be grateful for your help. All donations will be passed to Open Door an organisation which helps young homeless people in West Lothian.

Remember nursery is closed for October break from Thursday 15th for PM children and Friday 16th for AM children with all returning Tuesday 27th October.  Happy Holidays.

The children decided they liked having altogether snack “like a picnic”, so now we are having a “picnic” snack every Thursday.  This week pizza was on the menu.

Attached is the sheet with the children’s ideas for their learning for the week beginning 5.10.15

All of our nursery children had a vote for their favourite dolls house. There was three to choose from. It was very close but house number 1 was the winner. The winning dolls house comes from Asda and we are collecting it on Saturday 3rd October.

Parents/Carers of Pre-School Children

The parent consultations for pre-school children will take place in our school hall. Parents/carers will enter the school through the main entrance (not the nursery entrance) and the hall is straight in front of you. We will lay out some construction toys for children to play with during the consultation period (if you choose to bring your child) but remember your child remains your responsibility throughout. Please note that the parents who choose a morning appointment can also come in the main entrance and be guided to the nursery base for their consultation. Thank you for your support in this matter.

Pre-School Children Consultations

Please note the formal parental consultations are for pre-school children only. The evening times are from 5.00 to 6.30 on the 14^th of October. There are morning times available too, during the week beginning 12.10.15. The time sheets will be available to complete from Monday 5^th October (in entrance corridor).  Please select a time that suits you. If you have a problem with appointment times please speak to your child’s key worker and we will try to accommodate you as much as possible.

Children with another year at nursery have a less formal opportunity to speak to their child’s key worker during our open day on Thursday 15^th October. All parents are warmly invited to join us from 10.30 onwards (a.m. parents) and 2.30 onwards (p.m. parents).

 

Just to say last day for handing in photograph orders will be Friday 2nd October.

Today, we went on an Autumn walk in our local area. We looked at the different coloured leaves and discussed why the leaves are starting to change colour. We collected some of the leaves we looked at to use in our craft area. We are going to make pictures with our leaves and make an Autumn Wall Display. If you are walking to nursery and you spot any Autumn leaves, could you bring them into nursery to use in our craft area. Thank you!
