Nursery Weekly Review

Week ending 19th April 2024

 

Weekly review: The children have all had a great week and settled into the Summer term brilliantly. It has been great to get to know them all and spend time with them exploring their interests. The children have loved spending time outside, exploring their numbers, drawing pictures and spending time with their friends. Thank you for being so welcoming and making my first week at Ravenstone a great one. Next week we will begin our topic of transport. On Monday it is Earth Day so we will spend the day looking at the environment and what we can do to help.

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.

 

 

Little Wandle Foundations 

This week, we begun our Little Wandle Foundation program of teaching.  On Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, all the children will have a 15 minute carpet session in groups of 10.  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.

Little Wandle for parents

We will also be doing an information session for parents very soon.

 

We have given each mixed ability group a name.  They are either ladybirds, caterpillars, butterflies or bees.  See if they can remember what group they are in.

 

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.
