Quote of the week:

“Miss Ellender, Miss Ellender. I’m a lamborghini! A white one, a lambo! Listen… brrrruuuuuummmmm. Say it, say it” 

Ryan says to Miss St Louis as he waits for her to say “123, GO”, making realistic lamborghini sounds running around the garden.






Reminder:


Can Parents please bring in a CUP, Wellington boots and a drawstring bag with spare clothes ASAP. Please LABEL  all your children's belongings, including both shoes. Please ensure your child knows what their cup and wellies look like.


Thank you






Short stay session

 

This week the children had their short stay sessions at nursery. It was an opportunity to explore their nursery environment, play with their new teachers and find out about the nursery routines including lunch. The children were very excited to see all the toys, play with the activities and engage with the free flow access to the garden.

Wow challenge: 

The children have been mastering how to take off and put on their own shoes and socks independently. 



Ashlean counted her steps aloud as she walked along the chalk snake



We have been trying hard to build new relationships with our friends and teachers.


We have been developing our physical skills: catching, throwing, jumping and coordination. But most importantly sharing with friends.



The sand pit has clearly been the children's favourite activity this week.

Hello song


Everyday the children will sing the hello song during circle time. Sing helps children with their speech and language skills and confidence. The hello song helps children learn the name of their new friends, as well as their teachers. 

We have written the song lyrics if parents wish to learn the song with their children at home:


Hello Song:


Hello, child’s name

Hello, child’s name

Hello, child’s name

And how are you today?


Child then answers the question, key worker may prompt with feeling cards.




Yay! It's time for our normal session times

 

From monday 27th September the children will start their full time sessions:


AM: 8.30am to 11.30am

PM: 12.15pm to 3.15pm

30 hours: 8.30am to 3.15pm

 

From monday all parents are to say goodbye before the doors open at 8.30am, ready for the children to walk into nursery independently. No parents will be allowed within the nursery. We politely ask all parents to respect our decision and not enter the nursery doors, which allows teachers to support children as they enter.

We understand many of our pupils have siblings and advise parents to drop nursery children first in the morning. The nursery doors will open at 8.30am until 8.40am. If your child arrives after 8.45am you will be required to enter through the main school office. 

 

 

Session attendance Routine:

 

1. Please stand on a coloured spot and wait to be called forward by a teacher who will greet your child.

 

2. Your child should leave you at the nursery door. Please say goodbye and reassure them you will be back to collect them at the end of the session before nursery opens.  Please speak to your child about the nursery in a positive way and remind them they will stay and play with their friends and you will always come back to collect them.

 

3. Upon collection doors will open five minutes before the end of the session (11.25am for morning dismissal and 3.10pm for afternoon dismissal). At the end of the session, the main doors will open. Please do not crowd the nursery door as this may delay the children being released and can scare the young children. 

 

 

We can not wait to start this new chapter with you.
