Keeping Safe on Bonfire Night . . .

This week we have been finding out about Bonfire Night and thinking about how we can have lots of fun but keep nice and safe.

We know that we are not allowed to have sparklers until we are five years old, but we watched a video clip about their safe use and then we wrote our own set of safety rules together that we can share with our older friends and family.

It was very exciting watching and listening to the sparkler that Mrs Florian lit outside - and we all stayed at a nice safe distance and reminded her of the safety rules she had to follow! 

We would love to hear about your Bonfire Night celebrations when we come back after half-term. We hope you have lots of fun, and remember - STAY SAFE!

A little reminder for the week . . .

• The children will finish for the half-term holiday on Friday of this week. 

• The staff have a PD day on Monday 5th November, so the children will return to school on Tuesday 6th November.

• Any group photograph orders will also need to be returned on this day. Thank you.

What's Your Favourite?

The children have nearly completed their first half-term in the Nursery and this week they have been thinking about their favourite activities that they like to do. Here are just a few . . .

 

Riding on the scooter

Dressing up

 Painting

We also asked the children what was their favourite thing about being at our Nursery, here is what some of them said:

Sinead - "Playing with friends"

Abigail - "It's my new school"

Katie - "I like it so much, I like all the toys!"

We would love to hear what you have enjoyed about our Nursery from the things you have seen on our blog!

A little reminder for the week . . .

• Please remember that your option choice form for the Spring Term (January 2013) needs to be returned by next Monday (22nd October) at the latest. 

• If your child is poorly, please ensure that you keep them at home until 48 hours after their last bout of illness, even if they say they are feeling better! Thank you.

Autumn Creations . . .

We have been continuing our autumnal activities this week. It was great fun doing our bark rubbings and watching the patterns appear as if by magic!

We explored colour mixing with the paints to create different shades of autumn colours for our leaf prints.

The tree stumps were very useful for displaying our natural sculptures on!

It was fun selecting from our treasures to create our autumn collage!

We are having so much fun exploring! Which autumn treasures have you found when you have been out and about?

Little Wolves, Little Wolves, Where Are You?

Today we talked about the story of Little Red Riding Hood and about  the big bad wolf hiding in the trees in the forest. We had fun pretending to be little wolves hiding behind trees while Little Red Riding Hood tried to find us.

"Where are those wolves?"

Can you find them?

A little reminder for the week . . .

• This Friday will be the final day for any photograph orders!

• Please remember to name everything that comes into Nursery, and check names are still there on clothing after washing! Thank you.

Looking for signs of Autumn . . .

This week, as well as thinking about the changes in the weather, we have been out on the field looking for signs of Autumn. Some of the leaves are starting to change colour and it was great fun watching and listening to the conkers falling off the trees!

When is your favourite time of year?

What will you wear Weather bear?

We have noticed that there have been a lot of changes in the weather recently, and poor old Weather Bear is never sure what to wear! As well as choosing suitable clothes for him from his special bag, the children have also been using the computer to 'dress Ash' so that he can go outside and have some fun. 

What do you like to do in different weather conditions?

We're Going on a Treasure Hunt

We went on a nature treasure hunt today. We found things that were straight, round shiny, rough, fluffy, crunchy and beautiful.

Round shiny conkers

A beautiful spotted ladybird

Marvellous mud!

                     What things can you find?

A little reminder for the week . . .

• Just a little reminder that any photograph orders will need to be in by next Friday!

• There are still a few children arriving at Nursery without a coat - please ensure that they have one every day, particularly as the weather is so changeable at the moment. Thank you.
