THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Halloween fundraising activities. We raised an amazing £408!!! The money will be put towards new furniture for the Nursery.
Christmas Is Coming!!!
Our theme for this half term is Christmas & Winter. We are starting the theme by looking at the story of The Gruffalo's Child by Julia Donaldson. We will be playing parachute games in the big hall, involving lots of teamwork. Everyone will use the digital cameras and iPads to take photographs. We will be using the overhead projector to explore shadows, as well as investigating the changes in the weather outdoors. We will use black pens, crayons and paint to make some cave paintings like the ones in the Gruffalo's cave. In our brand new floor books we will be drawing and writing about the things we are scared of. We will also talk about who our families are and what they do. We have some games to play in the outdoor area, including What's the Time, Baby Gruffalo? We will also make homes for the animals in the story outside and talk about hibernation and habitats.
Ways to help at home this week
Talk about how warm or cold it is outside this week and whether or not you need a coat to go outdoors.
Go outdoors as it is beginning to get dark and ask your child to listen to the sounds they can hear. Are there any sounds that are different to the ones you hear when it is light?
What's coming up next week?
We are welcoming more new starters to Nursery next week.
Children in Need... details to follow as soon as they are confirmed!

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!

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).
