Nursery – calling for conkers!

It’s that time of year where the conkers are falling and we know how much little fingers love to collect them! They create great seasonal learning and play opportunities and we would love some in our nursery. If you have collected any or are going on an autumnal walk soon, we would be very grateful of any conkers you can spare.

Thank you.

Nursery & Reception Family Learning Wednesday 1st November

On Wednesday 1st November we are delighted to announce that The Education Group will be coming in to host our Family Learning session. One adult member of your family is invited to celebrate Diwali with your child and have the opportunity to be taught some traditional Bollywood dancing by a professional dancer.

We kindly ask for you to pay £5 on your child’s ParentPay account which will include a 45 minute dance workshop for one adult and one child.

More details will follow next week where you will be allocated a time slot to attend your dance workshop.

We are all very much looking forward to the day and hope you are able to come and celebrate with your child.

Thank you for your continued support in your child’s learning.

Nursery at Sherwood Pines

On behalf of the Nursery team and myself we would like to say a huge thank you to all of the parents and grandparents who joined us on our trip to Sherwood Pines. We had a wonderful day navigating our way around the Gruffalo orienteering trail, enjoying the Gruffalo story in the forest and creating nature art. The children were a credit to you all and the school. We were very proud of each and every one of the children for their excitement and hard work. I’m sure all of the children slept very well last night! Here is a sneak peek of some of the photos taken. Mrs Burton will upload more today. Watch this space…

Reception Shared Reading

Today we had our very first shared reading session in Crew Wallace. It was a lovely experience and the children worked really well together in their reading partners and as a Crew. It made me so proud!

Well done Crew Wallace 😊

NURSERY FIELDWORK 27/9/23

Hi All,

Here is a some information needed for our trip tomorrow.

Please arrive between 8.30am – 8.45am at the Nursery doors. We will depart promptly and be on our way by 9am. We will return to school by 3pm.

Please dress for the outdoors (wellies/walking boots, warm/layered clothing, rain coats). The weather at the moment is looking very windy, chilly and potentially wet. I would advise bringing a spare change of clothes for your child just incase.

You will need to bring a packed lunch and drink for yourself and your child. Refreshments can also be purchased from the cafe.

Myself and the Nursery team look forward to spending the day with you all tomorrow.

If you have any questions, please catch me on the door at pick up today.

Reception Fieldwork

We had such a lovely visit to enhance our learning of our Expedition question , “What do stories tell us about Autumn?”

We had an amazing time hunting for the Gruffalo on the Gruffalo Trail and in the afternoon we were inspired by our beautiful surroundings and made some lovely nature art.

A special and enormous thankyou to all of our adults that joined us for the day. Without you, visits like this would not be possible for our children so huge thanks from all of us!

The children did amazingly well and we were so proud of them.

A very happy day in Nursery!

Today we welcomed the rest of our new children to Nursery. Our ‘oldies’ were so kind, helpful and friendly to our new starters and really made them feel welcome. Tomorrow we will be building our sense of ‘CREW’ by talking about our feelings and modelling what they might look like and playing ‘learn my name’ games. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings with our beautiful Nursery crew.
