Term:  Autumn 1                          Date 28.09.15

 We had a great start to the Nursery year.  Most of the children seem happy and settled. 

 This first half a term is about settling the children and helping them to understand the Nursery expectations.  Our topic this half term is ‘All About Me’.  We have a Professional Chef coming in to do some cooking with the children on Wednesday 23^rd October.

Our story for the week will be ‘Hello, Goodbye’ and we will be singing many songs including ‘The Grand old duke of York’ and ‘Wind the Bobbing Up’.

 You are invited to a Coffee Meeting/Stay and Play on Thursday 1^st October at 10am or 2pm.  This will be an opportnity for you to meet our School Nurse. She will be talking about toileting, bedtime routines and developmental milestones. Afterwards you will be able to play with your child before you take them home.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we get used to all the new faces so that we can ensure your children go home safely.  Don’t worry we do get quicker at sending them home!

When your child comes in to begin their session please help them to find their name and place it under their key worker.  Please ask a member of staff if you are unsure who this is.

Thank you to everyone who sent in a family photo, we look forward to receiving the rest of them.

We are still awaiting some spare clothes and wellington boots. These items should all be named and we would ideally like them to be left in school.

Our wishing tree is looking very full.  Thank you to everyone who has completed a leaf.  If you would like a spare leaf please ask a member of staff.

The half termly snack money is now due, please be aware that this is a voluntary contribution which we put towards cooking ingredients and snacks.

We regularly update our EYFS blog. Please like our Broadford Primary Facebook page every time you see an EYFS blog. Feel free to make a comment on the children’s experiences.
