Nursery Learning- 11.7.25

 

Colour Fun Event – Thursday 17th July

We’re very excited to let you know that on Thursday 17th July, the school will be hosting a Colour Run for all the children. In Nursery, we’ll be joining in the fun with our very own ‘Colour Fun’ session!

During this activity, the children will enjoy exploring bubbles, music and paint in a creative, sensory experience. Please note that paint will not be thrown at the children (unless they choose to get a little extra messy!), but there will be plenty of opportunities to engage with the colourful materials through play.

All of the paints we’ll be using are ‘taste-safe’, so they are suitable for young children. However, we still require parents to sign a waiver in order for your child to take part. You can do this quickly and easily by scanning the QR code on the Nursery door or by the following link.

Please remember to send your child in with a spare change of clothes, as things are likely to get messy – in the best possible way!

Reception Transition Morning

The children had a fantastic morning on Thursday as they took part in our Reception transition session. They were split into their new classes and had the opportunity to meet their new teachers, explore the Reception classrooms, and enjoy time in the outside area.

We were so proud of how well every single child handled the transition. Moving up to Reception is such a big step, and while we anticipated a few wobbles, the children truly amazed us with their confidence and enthusiasm.

Some of the Nursery team accompanied the children as a familiar face and a bit of a 'safety blanket', just in case anyone needed extra reassurance, but we’re delighted to say that they were all incredibly excited and returned full of positive things to say about joining ‘big school’.

It’s wonderful to see how ready and eager they are for the next part of their learning journey

Old Uniform Donations

As we approach the end of the school year, we would be very grateful for any old uniform you no longer need. It doesn’t matter if items are stained, as these will be used as spares for the children.

We are particularly in need of clothing in sizes suitable for 3 to 4-year-olds. This includes:

• Boys’ trousers

• White T-shirts

• Pants and socks

• Shorts

• Girls’ summer dresses

• Winter skirts

• Tights, knickers, and socks

Even if your child is moving up to Reception, please do keep us in mind. If you come across any clothing your family no longer needs, feel free to drop it off, we’d really appreciate it!

Hot Weather Reminder

It’s going to be hot next week, so please make sure you apply sun cream to your child before they come to nursery, and ensure they bring a water bottle with them each day.

Thank you for helping us keep the children safe and comfortable in the sunshine!
