Spring 2

This term is short but busy!

We are looking forward to seeing you at parents evening and then at our Library Drop in.

Nursery will also be taking part in Science week this term and work towards their CREST Star Science award. We have already started some of the investigations and the children loved solving our problem to see which peg was the best to hold up the heavy sock and they were really excited to make shadows!

Towards the end of the term, we hope to see you at our Easter Fayre!

The Nursery session

Morning Nursery starts at 8:30am each day and finishes at 11:30am. Afternoon Nursery starts at 12 pm and finishes at 3pm. Parents are greeted at the Nursery gates at both times of the day by a member of the foundation team.

Learning this half term

This half term we will be thinking about the question “Can you tell me a story?”

We will be listening to the story of 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' and 'Jasper’s Beanstalk'

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be planting a sunflower seed and taking care of it by helping it to grow and observing how it changes.

We will also develop our gross motor skills this half term, by balancing on and climbing different toys and equipment at Nursery.

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.

E-Safety

Sometimes children like to have some screen time. Here is a short rhyme and a link with a story to help your child when online.
