The children have had an amazing start to Nursery, we are really pleased with how well they have all settled. We will spend the next few weeks teaching the children about the expectations within the Nursery setting.

Plays cooperatively with other children and adults.
Responds to a few appropriate boundaries, with encouragement and support. 

Communication and Language

Understands simple sentences.
Beginning to ask simple questions. 

Physical Development:

Makes connections between their movement and the marks they make.
Beginning to balance blocks to build a small tower. 

Mathematics

Beginning to organise and categorise objects.
Enjoys filling and emptying containers.
Associates a sequence of actions with daily routines. 

Understanding of the World

Remembers where objects belong.
Matches parts of objects that fit together. 

Expressive Arts and Design

Expresses self through physical action and sound.


Messages.

Thank you to all of the parents that have returned the ‘Wishing Tree Leaf’; we look forward to receiving more of them.
Please ensure your child wears shoes that they can try to put on and off themselves. Laces on shoes are very tricky for the children to do up and the adults are spending a great deal time dealing with this, when they should be interacting with the children.

The afternoon session finishes at 3.30pm. Nursery parents will not be allowed down to the Nursery until this time as it disrupts the children. If you wish for your child to be picked up at 3.15pm from an older siblings class, please advise us in writing.

Thank you

The Nursery Team
