November - Seasons and Weather. Celebrations and Christmas
Week ending 17th December 2021
This week has been filled with lots of Christmas activities and the children are now really excited for the big day. They loved the visit from Father Christmas and enjoyed watching him as he cycled around the playground and delivered presents for each class.
The children were really well behaved for the visiting panto group 'Outside the Box' for the performance of Aladdin.
The children all joined in with the dancing at our Christmas party and enjoyed the party food too!
On the last day we had left over party food and popcorn as we watched a video and took part in Mrs Walkden's Christmas quiz.
I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures and videos below.
Have a lovely Christmas everyone - see you all in 2022. XXX

The post office role play is a great activity for teaching the children to express their creativity and imagination, while also teaching them about the post office.

Week ending19th November 2021
We have had another fun filled week in the nursery. The children have enjoyed playing with the Gruffalo story sack, drawing pictures of their favourite part of the Gruffalo story and colouring in Pudsey bear pictures.
Thank you for your £1 Voluntary Donations to our nursery fund - this money allows us to buy additional resources and treats for the children. Please let me know if you have had any difficulties contributing via parent pay.
From Monday we will be sending library books home on your child's allocated day. Reading and sharing stories can help your child get to know sounds, words and language, and develop literacy skills. We will appreciate your participation in the scheme. In your child's library book bag there will be a card for your child's comments. Just jot down what they have to say about the book such as their favourite part of the story.
In school the children take part in a family homework draw. In the nursery we will work differently. As Nursery children are mostly a bit too young to wait for their turn for a treat or to take on the responsibility of reading at home and exchanging their library books, we will not have the same system as in school. Instead we will have a few Friday treats in the nursery e.g. An ice lolly, a video treat or a few snacks. ( your contributions to our nursery fund will be useful for extra treats). We will appreciate your involvement in our shared reading library book scheme.
The Gruffalo Story Sack - the children play imaginatively with objects and characters from one of our favourite story books.
