This Week in Nursery

Please can we ask parents to make sure their child has sunscreen applied before nursery each day and a sun hat as hopefully the weather is finally getting better!

Our Learning wall

Next week we will begin our wall for the children showing how they achieve learning both at home and within nursery. As the children have been using the word safe recently, particularly in the forest kindergarten environment, we are keen to create a SHANARRI wall but we really need your contributions from home as well.

If you would like to contribute photos to the wall you are most welcome. Our first area we will be looking for pictures for is achieving “Safe” at home either inside or outside.  Adding pictures from home gives the children that vital link from home to nursery and vice versa.

SHANARRI stands for:

Safe                               Healthy                                    Achieving                                                   Nurtured

Active                            Respected                               Responsible                                                 Involved

Our Borrowing Library

• We would really like to promote the Borrowing Library (which is located in the parents room) during this term and would invite you to start borrowing books from the library. Please ask a member of staff if require any information.

You may borrow books from our library at drop off and pick up times.
