Nursery Newsletter 22.04.13


Term:  Summer 1                          Date 22.04.13

We are all well rested and ready to learn in the Nursery after the Easter Break.  The children have had a fantastic time using our new outdoor area and we are in the process of arranging a Parent and Carer stay and play session to give all of you the opportunity to try out our wonderful new equipment.
We will continue our Jungle theme this week, as the children have expressed an interest in continuing to do so.  Our stories for the week are ‘Walking through the Jungle’ and ‘Rumble in the Jungle’. We will also continue to explore various related non-fiction texts.
