Nursery Spring Term 2 2024

What we are learning in Nursery – Spring Term Two 2024

A warm welcome back after our February half term. This term we continue to follow your children’s interests and plan activities around these. Many children have enjoyed sharing where they have been on holiday, we would love it if you could send some holiday photos in for us to display around our map. We are also basing some of our activities around the ‘Traditional Tales’. The rich language in these stories makes them a wonderful early reading tool as well as teaching children about how language works and developing memory too. We are currently sharing the story ‘The Three Little Pigs’ and learning the ‘3 Little Pig Rap’. We are also learning to recite lots of poems as part of the ‘Poetry Basket Project’. Perhaps ask your children to share some of these with you. If you would like a copy of the words for any of the above, please feel free to ask.

We are also delighted to have been able to arrange to re-start our Community Library visits with the children. This will begin on Tuesday, 12th March, further information will follow.

Alongside all that we are exploring is our complete immersion in a Mindful approach to nursery life. The children use all their senses and deep breathing to harness the full potential of a calm and focused brain. Parent pre-school meetings are scheduled for 5/6/7 March and two-year old and nurture group meetings are scheduled for 11/12 March. Please sign-up for one these dates – we look forward to seeing you to celebrate your child’s progress.

We also look forward to seeing those of you who are accompanying your child on our pre-school cinema trip on the 6th March. Now that your children are settled beautifully, please could we respectfully ask that they do not bring in their own toys to nursery, as we do not want them to get broken or lost.

Can you help? We are desperate for some socks and leggings, if you have any spare they would be gratefully received.

Thank you all for your continued support. If you have any questions regarding the nursery, please do not hesitate to speak to Caroline.
