Room on the Broom - Week 2
This week we are still reading Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. We will be in the outdoor area moving like the frog, cat, bird and dragon in the story. We will be exploring the outside environment, looking at the changes in the weather and the leaves on the trees. Now that we know the story well, we will be retelling the story and talking about the characters and events in the story. Everyone will be making potions in the water tray and looking at capacity. We will make something with a spider theme from materials of our own choice. Some of us will paint, some will do a spider dance, some will make a collage and some of us might choose something completely different!
Ways to help at home this week
Next week is half term holiday. If you do anything with your child during the week please take photographs or keep a diary and bring it to Nursery after the holidays.
What's coming up next week?
Half term holiday!
We return to Nursery on Monday, 4th November and we will be welcoming more new starters that week too.
We would just like to say a big thank you to all of you (parents and children) for making the first half term of this year so successful. Next half term is extremely busy with Christmas activities and we are really looking forward to everything that will be happening.

Room on the Broom
This week we are reading the story of Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson. We will spend lots of time focusing on the rhyming words, characters and events in the story. In the outdoor area we will be moving like the frog, cat, bird and dragon in the story.
We will use newspaper brooms and try to work out how we can make them longer to make more room on our brooms. Everyone will go to "Broom School" to learn how to fly their broom with the "Broom Instructor". We will be making something magical from the junk modelling materials and exploring different methods of joining materials together. There will be lots of paint, crayons and other drawing/writing tools available to make pictures of the characters in the story and to write letters to them.
Ways to help at home this week
Help your child to practise putting on their coat.
Sing rhymes and songs together, leaving out the rhyming word for your child to fill in, e.g. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great....

Pirate George
This week we are reading Pirate George's Number Crew by Shonette Bason and Elaine Wright. The book is a series of rhymes set to well known nursery rhyme tunes. Each rhyme is about a member of the crew from Winky One Eye to Timmy Ten Toes, all with a focus from 1 to 10.
Our main focus for this week will be on Mathematics which is part of our Nursery curriculum. We will be finding out what the children can do in this area through activities based on the story and the children's other interests. We will have lots of Numeracy equipment out in the Nursery and will focus on counting skills and saying number names in order. We will also be looking at shape, space and measures through lots of different activities. The shape jigsaws and sorting games will be available to play with and we will also go on a shape hunt around the school.
Ways to help at home this week
Look for shapes in your house. What shape is the clock? The TV? The doors? Can you spot some numbers on your way to Nursery?
Halloween Fun Day
Wednesday, 23rd October is our Halloween Fun Day in Nursery. We are inviting parents and carers to come into Nursery from either 9.00-10.00am or 2.00-3.00pm to join in the activities and help us raise some money for new furniture. There will be lots to do!
Don't forget to guess how many snakes are in the jar (50p) and buy some raffle tickets for our Halloween raffle (£1 a strip).
What's coming up next week?
The sign up sheets for Parent Meetings will be available from Monday next week for meetings the week after (week beginning 21st October).
