said Teddy- James recalling the three little pigs story.
Book of the week
The children have loved listening to The Three Little Pigs, listening to different versions of the story and talking about the similarities and differences between each story book. Many children noticed this story also had a ‘Big Bad Wolf’ like in Little Red Riding Hood last week. All of the children reinforced that we should not speak to strangers and we should all listen to our grown ups who try to keep us safe.

Our topic focused learning
This week the children have been learning about Traditional tales. We listened to The Three Little Pigs and looked at fiction books involving wolf characters like The wolf’s pancakes and No Dinner. The children have also enjoyed playing with small world farm animals and characters to create their own stories.

Focus child Meetings
Each week children will be chosen to be observed by their keyworker. Emails will be sent home to inform parents of the upcoming parent meeting taking place the following week, either in person or via telephone. Parents will have an opportunity to complete a form asking questions and sharing concerns they may have for the key worker to answer during the parent meeting. This form will be sent via email. Please check your emails weekly for school communications and evidence me parents share from your children's teachers. Parents are welcome to upload pictures and videos of their children at home.
Chicken pox
We would like to make all parents aware that some children within the class have come down with chicken pox. Chicken pox commonly appears as small red spots which eventually blister. Chicken pox is contagious. We have included a link from the NHS with information regarding chicken pox and what to look for. Please check your children regularly for spots. Please keep children at home until the spots have cleared up to prevent further spread of the virus and seek medical attention if required.
Key Information
Please LABEL all your children's belongings, including both shoes. Please do not send your child in with a school bag as we have very limited space and all spare clothing should be stored in the nursery. Please do not send your child in with water bottles as we have cups stored in the nursery. Most importantly please do not allow children to bring toys from home into the nursery as they may get lost, cause conflict with other children or become a dangerous hazard. All resources in the nursery are risk assessed and age appropriate to maintain the children's safety.
If you have any questions please contact nursery@broadford.havering.sch.uk or for more urgent messages speak to a member of staff or contact the school office: 01708 342880 or office@broadford.havering.sch.uk
Kind regards,
