Nursery Week 2

We have had a lovely week with our new children in Nursery exploring our new surroundings, settling into new routines and making new friends.

We hope all of our families have a beautiful weekend and we look forward to seeing you all on Monday.

The Everywhere Bear

5th September 2024Amanda Wallace

This week we have been reading The Everywhere Bear. We made our very own Everywhere Bear in our Expedition sessions. We added the stuffing to the bear and we each gave his heart a cuddle or a kiss so that there is a little piece of all of our Crew in the bear.

We each chose a name and then we decided by doing a Crew vote. The winning name was Nibbles. Every Friday Nibbles will go home with one of our children to have a weekend adventure.

His first trip is tomorrow . . . I wonder where he will go?

We can’t wait to share in his travels.

Another beautiful day in Nursery!

3rd September 2024Elizabeth Hay

The children have had a creative day looking carefully at their faces and painting self portraits. We have read the story ‘Kindness in my superpower’ to kick start our expedition learning ‘How do we show we care?’ The children have also enjoyed mark making to represent their name.

Well done for another super day Nursery Crew – I can’t wait for tomorrow already!

Year 2 PE!

3rd September 2024Simon Gerrard

Year 2 PE will be on a Wednesday.

Please remember to send your children with the correct PE gear, which is a green/white polo shirt, shorts/leggings and a jumper or jacket if required because of the colder weather, as well as trainers. Please remember not to send children with football/other sports kits! 🙂

We always recommend bringing a bag with your PE kit and having everything labelled with your child’s name.

Dress up day and Family learning – KS1!

3rd September 2024Simon Gerrard

This Friday (6.9.24), it is our dress up day to hook the children into their Expedition. They are welcome to come as anything medieval! They could be kings, queens, dragons or jesters – whatever links to castles, but please don’t worry about buying a costume!

On Tuesday 15th October it is the Family learning for Year 1. This will begin at 1.30 in the afternoon.

For Year 2, your family learning is on Thursday 17th October. This will again be at 1.30 in the afternoon.

We look forward to seeing you all and the amazing costumes!

Welcome to Nursery!

2nd September 2024Elizabeth Hay

We are excited to welcome all of our new parents and children to Nursery. 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.

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