Our nursery children are on an exciting journey of discovery as they learn to count to 10 and beyond, using the natural world around them, loose parts. as well as building blocks and Lego bricks. Please continue to help your child at home with their counting and recognising the numbers.

We thank you for your continued support.

Welcome back to Spring 1! We are diving into lessons about healthy eating and growth. This week, we’ve been immersed in the story of “Oliver’s Vegetables.” The children have been enjoying tasting various fruits, crafting their healthy eating plates, designing their own vegetables, role playing at a dental surgery and engaging in discussions about healthy and unhealthy foods during circle time.

 

 

We are using the Little Wandle Phonics scheme to help us to learn early reading skills and are currently working on Phase 1. I have attached a leaflet for parents to read. There are some useful tips on how you can help your child at home to develop important skills for reading. I hope you find these tools helpful.

Thank you,

As we embark on a brand new year, it brings us immense joy to extend warm wishes to all the parents out there. Happy New Year to you all!

This week, our young learners are diving into the traditional tale of “The Three Little Pigs.” The classic story not only captivates their imagination but also provides a wonderful platform for engaging and interactive learning.

little ones are actively participating in the narrative by creating their own houses, crafting puppets, and joyfully engaging in role-playing activities. The hands-on experience allows them to explore various materials, develop fine motor skills, and most importantly, fosters a love for storytelling.

This week we are learning to sing aloud the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for our upcoming Nativity performance which will take place on Monday 18th December at 10am.

Please help your child to sing the song aloud at home. I have attached the link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnLpNh10Sq4 and the lyrics are below:

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Thank you very much,
The Nursery Team

 


This week our nursery buzzed with excitement as our little ones enjoyed a day filled with snowy fun inspired by “The Snowman” story.

The children crafted their own snowmen using cotton balls, buttons, and colorful paper.

We used the Tales Toolkit to retell the story and we also carried out a melting snowman science experiment. We used ice cubes and salt to observe the gradual melting process. This activity introduced basic scientific concepts and sparked wonder about the world around them.

The children also participated in a lively “Snowman Freeze Dance,” giggling and twirling to wintry tunes. This session promoted body coordination and it can also be carried out at home with parents!

We would really appreciate it if you can talk to your child about what they did in the nursery setting this week, what did they enjoy the most and perhaps make their very own snowman using some arts / crafts or pen & paper at home!

Thank you for your continued support.

Please help your child to learn to sing these songs at home for our upcoming nativity on Monday 18th December at 10am Top hall. All parents/ carers are welcome to attend and watch our lovely performance.
