The children have been really interested in digging, mud play and hunting for mini-beasts. We would love to explore this further next week. If you are happy for your child to be involved in mud play, digging and mini-beast hunting, please send your child with wellies.
If you have any spare wellies that you no longer need, Nursery would be very grateful for any donations.

On Wednesday 7th February it is World Read Aloud Day. We would like to invite you to join us for a book and a biscuit. This is a lovely event for you to share stories and quality time with your child in the school setting.
We will also be holding a used toy and book sale at the same time to raise funds for our expedition learning and EYFS resources. All toys and books will be very reasonably priced so please bring some money with you. The sale will also be available before and after school.
NURSERY – 8.30 am – 9.30 am in the Nursery classroom
RECEPTION – 2.15 am – 3pm
This week and last, we have started teaching our first set of phonics sounds. s, a, t, p. The children have loved exploring the new sounds and have tried really hard at writing the grapheme. Today, following our phonics lesson teaching the letter ‘t’ the children wrote the letter then traced it with glue and covered in in oats and glitter linked to our expedition story ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’.
I wonder if your child can spot some objects at home which begin with s, a, t, p?
Can they have a go at writing it?
A reminder to all parents that the sponsorship money for out 2mile walk needs to be collected and brought to your child’s class teacher by this Friday 2nd February. We thank you in advance for all of your support.

What a fabulous day we have had! We had our sponsored walk today to raise funds for our Expedition and so that all of our EYFS children can receive a special book at the end of our learning.
The weather was not kind to us 😔 BUT…… When do we ever let the weather get in the way of fabulous learning experiences!
We walked in the hall this morning and this afternoon we managed a few laps around our Reception and Nursery outdoor areas.
We had so much fun! A huge thank you to all the EYFS children for being absolutely amazing and another huge thank you to all of their grown ups for supporting your children and the school with our Expeditions.
You can hand in your sponsor forms with any donations to class teachers.

Just a reminder that on Wednesday 24th January EYFS will be undertaking a sponsored walk to raise funds so that all of our EYFS children can receive a Traditional Tale as part of our product for our Spring Expedition, Once Upon a Time: Who is hiding in the pages of the book ?
We ask that the children come to school on this day dressed in costume as their favourite book character, they will do the walk in their costume so we can celebrate Reading and to promote reading for pleasure. This does not have to be a bought costume it can be anything that represents this for your child.
We will be completing the walk during our school day and on this occasion grown ups won’t attend but we will be sure to take lots of photographs so that you can share in all of the fun that I am sure we will have.
Sponsor forms will be handed out by your child’s class teacher and we ask that these are returned with any sponsor contributions are returned to your child’s class by Friday 2nd February.
Thanks in advance for your continued support.

Thank so much to all who joined us this morning for Family Learning to launch our expedition ‘Who is hiding in the pages of the book?’ We had a wonderful crafty morning creating Little Red Riding Hood, decorating biscuits for Hansel and Gretel, building the 3 little pigs houses and creating a beanstalk for Jack. Well done Nursery for all of your hard work!
