Nursery Newsletter 7.11.16

Dear Parents and Carers,


The children had a great time baking cakes, writing invitations and making cards for Little Bear last week. They joined in with the story "It's My Birthday" and were able to discuss the events in the story. This week we will focus on the story "Cat's Colours" by Jane Cabrera. We will be ensuring children name the colours correctly, hunting for and matching colours to help the character in the story.

These are the skills we will be focusing on this week:
Mathematics 
Reciting number names in sequence.
Using 1:1 correspondence and counting objects in a set accurately.

Physical
We are continuing to assess the childrens upper body movements this week. The muscles children use depend on their stage of development which may range from children using a shoulder pivot, elbow pivot or wrist pivot at this stage. This is so we can plan to develop to support each children in the correct way as they develop their mark making skills.
Children will be supported to ride the small bikes outside. They will either be taught to use the peddles if not able to or extended to develop steering and control of a bike.

Literacy 
The children will be encouraged to listen carefully to the story and join in with repeated phrases.
The children will be supported to develop their listening skills through exploring the sounds different instruments make in small groups.

Communication and Language
Encouraging children to use simple sentences correctly.
Modelling the correct use of tense e.g. "I went to the park".
Encouraging children to hold a conversation and respond to comments.

Personal and Social Development
Ensuring children are able to co-operate with routines and some boundaries.
Modelling the correct behaviours in play, ensuring children use resources well and begin to share with other children.


Messages 

Thank you for your support with helping children to sign in under their key workers as they arrive at Nursery. As the children learn which place to put their photos they will be able to do this themselves which will make the process less time consuming and mean there will be less congestion at the entrance. Whilst the children learn this you may support them but please make this as quick as possible and move away to allow space for other children to sign in.

Remember all children need to apply for their place in Reception regardless of whether they have attended the Nursery. You need to apply online at: www.havering.gov.uk/eAdmissions.  If you need support to apply please see Miss Tynan in the Nursery and we will help. 

Kind regards,


The Nursery Team
