Design a library!

16th September 2024Rebecca Knowles

This year, we are working hard to raise money to develop our reading for pleasure library so firstly, we would like to say a huge thank you for all your sponsors from the colour run which will go along way to helping us!

Secondly, we still need your help! We would love for you to help us design the library based on the space we have to use which is the foyer area near the hall.

Please design your ideal library and share your plans with Miss Knowles in person or at [email protected] This is for everyone across school to get involved in! Please send your plans by 7th October.

We can’t wait to see your fantastic ideas which will help us design the perfect library!

Nursery- Being Thankful

18th September 2024Rebecca Carter

Today in nursery the children talked to each other about who is special to them. The children thought about why people are special and the kind things that family and friends do for us. We talked about how we can show thanks and we made thank you cards for our special people! A shout out to all the adults who love our smallest children!

Nursery- RE

11th September 2024Rebecca Carter

Today the children in nursery enjoyed singing our ‘special people song’ again. Beautiful voices and words! The children thought carefully about ‘ Who is special and why?’ The children drew beautiful pictures of the people who are special to them in their families. Today the children talked about other people who are special to us in our community such as the police, doctors and firefighters! What a great morning! I can’t wait for next week!

Here is some of our beautiful work:

Nursery can take care of their teeth!

10th September 2024Elizabeth Hay

Linked to our PSED learning and our expedition ‘How do we show show we care?’ The children have been exploring tooth paste, teeth and tooth brushes. We have sung a tooth brushing song (see the link below to practise at home) and talked about what we can do to look after our teeth such as visiting the dentist, brushing twice a day, drinking milk and water and eating low sugar foods.

Well done Nursery Crew! I am confident you all know how to look after your own teeth.

Nursery PSED & Feelings

10th September 2024Elizabeth Hay

As part of our personal, social and emotional development learning, the Nursery children have been talking about their feelings and associating them with our Zones of Regulation colours. The children used their name cards and placed them on the colour and emotion they felt.

Our name basket and zones of regulation cards will be out each morning when you arrive in Nursery. Please encourage your child to find their name card and place it in a zone.

We are really proud of the children and how well they can talk about their feelings already.

Wow! What a day! The children have worked so hard today making themselves as a playdough person, enjoying small world play with the dinosaurs, collaging teeth for our ‘keeping our teeth health’ display, role playing scientists with pipettes and syringes investigating colour mixing, role playing post offices and writing letters and creating ‘sticky pictures’. The list goes on! I can’t wait for tomorrow!
