Week ending Friday 29th September, 2023
Dear Families,
It's been a fantastic few weeks of our topic All About Me, and it's wonderful to see all of the children busy and happy now with very few tears. Each and every child has joined in with others to play and friendships are forming wonderfully! We are up and running with our focussed carpet time sessions and we have all been working on demonstrating our kindness. The children now have a great grasp of Maths Meeting and are all joining in with our Days of the Week and Weather Song.
It was lovely to see so many families at our Meet the Teacher and our Family Friday reading sessions. Next week, we will be starting our new topic - Transport!
Best wishes,
The Nursery Team.

Our Maths Learning this week
We've been forming different types of lines this week.
We've continued to form circles, as well as drawing wavy, curly and straight lines - 'down' and 'across'.
Activities to try at home this weekend
Try out one or both of these activities with your child this weekend. Please send us any photos you take or bring your child's learning into school - we'd love the see them!
Make a friendship necklace
Use pasta to make a friendship necklace for your neighbourhood friend, for someone at school or to do something kind for a family member.
Draw a family portrait using all the types of lines that you know.
Noticeboard
Label your child's items
As the weather changes and the children begin to bring more layers to school, the amount of items that they need to remember increases too.
Please do help your child and the Nursery Team by ensuring every item brought in is labelled.
Without these labels, keeping track of belongings can become difficult (and expensive!)
Transport photos
Do you have any photos of your child enjoying different types of transport? Perhaps someone in the family has a motorbike or drives a lorry and your child is familiar with their vehicle. It would be great to share these during our Transport topic to make the topic more meaningful for the children.
Please send photos to the office email (below) for the attention of Nursery.
Thank-you!
