Mr. Potato Head
This week in nursery we have been developing our fine motor skills by adding body parts to Mr. Potato Head. The children have really enjoyed creating some silly faces.
Please check in regularly to see what we've been up to and to keep updated.

Today was World Book day and we had a fantastic day dressed up as our favourite characters. Even the teachers got dressed up! We all looked fantastic!
Today was our final nursery workshop 'We are Family'. We talked all things behaviour including the happy sunshine, sad sunshine and sad cloud that we use in nursery, the golden coin jar and golden time, how to phrase comments in a positive way rather than using stop or no and using nursery staff to praise children when they have followed the rules at home. The children then came through and showed all the grown ups what we do during our circle times. They followed all the circle time skills and helped the puppets to solve a problem they were having. Thank you so much to all the families who attended over the last 6 weeks, it was so lovely to get to know you better!
Red Nose Day is Friday 21st March 2025.

The children have really enjoyed playing in the fruit and vegetable shop this week.They have been both shopkeepers and customers, filling their baskets and paying for their items. They even formed orderly queues to pay.
Today we had a pyjama party in nursery as we had filled our good choice jar. We all looked super cute in our pyjamas and enjoyed talking about the different characters that were on them. I wonder what reward we will choose next time we fill up our jar?
On Wednesday 26th February come and join us in the hall to learn about how movement helps to develop your child's learning and brain development. Check out the flyer below for more information.
Here is the newsletter with all your information on learning and events that are happening this half-term. We will continue to build on our learning about animals that are alive and that live in England and those that live in extremely cold places too.
This week we have been developing our cutting skills by using scissors to chop leaves.
Yesterday was our fourth workshop and it was all about bedtimes. Adults spent time talking about any issues they were having with bedtime routines and all the children got to have a hot chocolate and biscuits while looking at books with their adults. Children were given books to take home and keep. They were also set a 10 book story challenge to complete at home and will get a robot reading badge as a reward for completing the challenge. Our raffle winners were Sia and Hussien who won a prize out of Miss Houghton's box and Freddie and Luluwa who won £10 book vouchers. Thank you to all parents who came.
Our lovely N2 class are going out to Cannon Hall Farm on Wednesday 19th March!
We have been very busy making animal enclosures for the jungle animals. We have used lots of mathematical language to talk about the size of the bricks. The children have worked well with their friends or on their own to make their enclosures.
