The tiger who came to tea read by Mrs Ellender

Our topic focused learning

This week the children have been role playing the tiger who came to tea in order to develop their recall, sequencing and vocabulary skills. We all had lots of fun watching the role play, sharing our ideas and laughing as Mrs Light pretended to be the tiger.

Knock knock! Who is at the door?	A tiger came to tea with Elyssa and Mrs Ngenge
Oh no, the tiger at all the buns on the plate!	Oh dear, the tiger drank all the tea in the pot
The tiger finished eating and drinking everything in the house	The tiger saying goodbye and leaving the classroom

This weeks learning

The children have had lots of fun this week practicing their determination, resilience and having a go as they played on balance bikes, created tiger faces using shapes and crafts, created patterns using magnetic shapes and blocks and maneuvered around the outdoor obstacle course. What an exciting week

Classroom helpers

This week our year 6 digital helpers have been busy teaching us how to use the computers and ipads. They spent time patiently helping the children navigate the apps to play games, showing them how they work. A big thank you to all our year 6 helpers who support the children each week

Nursery rhyme of the week

This week the children have been practicing the nursery rhyme makaton signing song:

Say hello to the sun

Say hello to the sun Shining down on me I love the sun because the sun warms me Say hello to the the moon Beaming down on me I love the moon because the moon guides Say hello to the corn Growing strong for me I love the corn because the corn feeds me Say hello to the stars Shining down on me I love the stars because the stars see me Say hello to the rain Falling down on me I love the rain because the rain cools me Say hello to the flowers Bright colours for me I love the flowers because they gladden me Say hello to my friends Playing games with me I love my friends because my friends love me

Bedtime story Scheme

From Friday 21st January 2022 all children will receive books for you to read with them at home. Early reading ignites creativity, sparks curiosity, and stimulates the imagination in young children. Sharing books, stories and rhymes develops skills to support the transition to school.

Books will be sent home every FRIDAY.

Please return all books by WEDNESDAY.

Unfortunately books which are lost or damaged will need to be paid for.

PLEASE RETURN THE BOOKS EACH WEEK. 

All books will need to be returned in the last week of each term.

Covid-19 

If your child displays coronavirus symptoms including a cough or temperature they will need to follow government test and isolation policies, including track and trace. Please inform the school office as soon as possible if you or your child displays symptoms or tests positive for covid.

Please do not send them into the nursery or on school grounds to prevent further spread of the virus until you have followed government guidance.

Thank you for your continued support with: keeping the staff and children safe, nursery open and the children in education.

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.
