Autumn 1

We hope you have all had a wonderful summer!     

We are excited to welcome back all of our lovely children and families. We are also looking forward to meeting all the new children joining us in Nursery! 

Please join us for our Parents' Evening on Thursday 15th October. This would be a great opportunity to come and talk to us about how your child is settling in.

 The Nursery session

    Learning this half term 

This half term our topic is "Who am I?"

We will be learning all about ourselves, our families and our friends at Nursery.

To help us understand this topic, we will be looking at the key texts below, as well as reading a range of books in the classroom.

Library day

Every Tuesday the children in Nursery are invited to choose a book from our library which they can then take home to share with their family. The chosen book, can then be returned on the following Tuesday giving them the opportunity to select a new book.

Snack times

Snack time is a very important part of our Nursery day and all children are provided with a healthy piece of fruit along with the option of having a drink of milk or water each day. 

Nature Tots

Every Thursday, Miss Sharples takes the children in small groups for some outdoor learning. This is an opportunity for the children to explore the environment around them and experience nature through their senses and learn important skills. 

Coats

Now that the weather is beginning to change, could you please send your child with an appropriate coat as many are choosing to take part in outdoor learning opportunities.

Bags

Please ensure your child brings a bag to Nursery everyday. The bag should contain a full set of spare clothes including socks and pants. If your child is wearing pull-ups then please ensure there is more than one in the bag to change into. As sometimes, they may require additional changes during their session in Nursery. 

Toileting

It has been lovely to see how so many children have been developing their independence and have started to use the toilet. If you feel that your child is ready to take this step, then please can you come and speak to a member of the Nursery Team, as we will be able to support you to do this. 

E-Safety

Here is a short rhyme and a link with a story to help your child when online.
