Nursery: Out of school achievements!

Dear all Nursery parents and carers,

We would love to hear about your child’s out of school achievements!

If your child has learnt to ride a bike, awarded for swimming successes, dress themselves independently, score a goal, have the confidence to dance in a show… whatever it may be, please share it with us so we can celebrate your child in school.

Any photos of these achievements would be greatly appreciated for our display in our cloakroom.

Many thanks,

Mrs Hay & Mrs Burton

Crew Wallace Maths

We have been talking about positional language this week. Teddy the frog came to help us and was sitting in some very unusual places. We had our own little people from our small world area and we had to listen to the instructions and follow them. Our favourite one was putting our little person “on top of our head”

Maybe you could have a go at home with some teddies of your own.

Crew Wallace Phonics

This week we have begun teaching phonics in Reception. The children have been really calm and engaged and produced some lovely letter formation of our first taught sounds. They are such grown up boys and girls now.

Well done everyone!
Grown ups…. Check out the EYFS Extended Study tab on the school website to learn more about phonics and our weekly phonics homework to support your child.

Thanks

Nursery: A beautiful day!

The children had another lovely day building friendships, building train track worlds, adding more texture and colour to our collaborative work from last week, taking care of babies, washing cars in the car wash, using play dough to make cookies, buns and pizza.

The children have been learning British Sign Language for ‘I’m sorry’, ‘please’, ‘thank you’, ‘tomato’, ‘carrot’, ‘milk’ and ‘water’ and have been picking this up really well.

Super work Nursery Crew!

Nursery: play and establishing routines

This week we have welcomed some new friends to nursery who are doing a great job of settling in. The children have been playing beautifully and are starting to learn some basic rules and routines in our nursery. There has been lots of painting, building, physical play, lots of story reading, snack eating, bubble blowing, role play and friendship making.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

Welcome to Nursery!

We are excited to welcome all of our new parents and children to Nursery. We are now in week 3 and nearly all of our new children have started school. We will keep parents up to date with things that are happening in school through our class blogs. Today we wanted to share a few expectations that help to keep things running smoothly.

  • Please ensure all uniform is labelled with your child’s name. If it is not labelled staff will label it. This ensures we have minimal – no lost property in school
  • Please ensure children bring a bag to school each day to keep their belongings safe. Children are asked to keep many things safe in their backpack and it also helps children to carry all of their belongings at the end of the day (water bottles, jumpers, cardigans, art work, letters etc)
  • All children should bring a name labelled water bottle filled with water only every day
  • Please remember we have a no toys rule in school – please keep all toys/teddy bears etc at home
  • All children will need a change of clothes in their backpack in case of any accidents or getting wet or dirty during play
  • Please bring a pair of name labelled wellies to keep in school so that your child can access outdoor play in all weathers 

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask a member of the Nursery team in person or contact us via email.

A reminder to all parents that our Nursery meeting will be held on Wednesday 24th September 5-6pm in the school hall and we hope as many of you can join us as possible.

We are looking forward to a wonderful year in Nursery with your child creating precious memories.

Nursery: Autumn Object Hunt

Nursery children – I would love for you to go on an autumn nature hunt with a grown up and collect as many conkers, pine cones, acorns, leaves and any other Autumn goodies you can find. We will be sharing what we found on Monday 15th September and using them in our play next week.

Happy hunting! I can’t wait to see what you can find.

Mrs Hay
