Nursery Weekly Review

Week ending 26th April 2024

 

  

Weekly review: We started off our week by celebrating Earth Day, the children enjoyed learning all about the environment and the changes we can make to improve it. We have spent time thinking about recycling and have a new recycling bin in the Nursery and the children have all been very good at reminding us to turn off the lights. Here are some pictures of the activities we completed.                                                                 We have enjoyed reading the story of 'The Snail and the Whale' and have spent time retelling the story, making postcards, creating a large whale and glittery snails. We have spent time practising our counting skills and using the large construction to build our own submarine.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Fund
A huge thank you to the parents who have donated to the school Nursery fund.  We have recently ordered some new equipment for the sand pit, replenished our supplies for making playdough and ordered some exciting things for our pirate day.  If you would like to help, please see Bea in the mornings.



Have a lovely weekend and take care,

Gemma, Angie and Bea

 

Keep an eye on our important dates:

As always, we have a very busy 12 weeks of the summer term with plenty going on.  We will try to add on the relevant dates below but please check the main calendar and Parent Mail for all important dates.

Don't forget that every Tuesday from 9am-11am we have our NIPA workshops for parents. It would be great if you can attend. Anna will be looking at mindfulness and child development. Each week she will be looking at a different area. 

 

Little Wandle Foundations 

This week, we begun our Little Wandle Foundation program of teaching.  On  Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, all the children will have a 15 minute carpet session in small groups.  Over the year, this will cover nursery rhymes, name recognition, initial sounds, blending, rhyming and alliteration.

Have a look on the web site for more information.

Things we need

Fund

In the nursery, we often buy items to supplement the children's learning.  From ingredients for playdough to art supplies, small items for you termly themes to large exciting things like the ducklings.  To help pay for all this, we are for a £1 a week voluntary contribution.  If you would like to help, just give anything you can to Bea in the mornings.  Thank you.
