Nursery Learning 16.9.24

Staff have really enjoyed meeting the new children and families and we would like to welcome you to Broadford. We are impressed with how well the children have been settling into their new environment. They been enjoying creating dinner parties in the home corner, enjoying bagels and fruit for snacks, creating masterpieces  in the art area and spending time in the outside area. It has been lovely to watch the children start to develop relationships with staff and also start to make friends and join in with other children in the setting.  

Thank you to all of the parents for supporting us to ensure the children have a smooth start to their Nursery year and for being patient at home time whilst staff learn new faces and names.

Please could we ask that we ensure that you are on time for the start and end of sessions. The doors will close at 8.45am in the morning.

Important Information 

1. Evidence Me -Over the next month we will start sharing observations on our parent share app. Please do add your own videos and photos from home as parents can also share achievements. Please speak to a member of staff if you cannot access this app. 
2. Spare Clothes - Please leave a bag of spare clothes in Nursery, ideally this will be a labelled plastic bag. This bag should stay in school. 
3. Nappies - If your child is in nappies and requires changing in Nursery please bring nappies. You can bring in a pack and leave this here if you would prefer to do this. 
4. Lunches -For the children who stay for lunch, we would like to inform parents Broadford primary is a Heathy Eating school. Please do not provide nut based products such as peanut butter or Nutella as some of our children have nut allergies.
5. Meet your key worker - We will soon be sending out invites for parents to come and meet with their child's key worker. This is a chance to talk together about how your child has settled, share information from home and decide on targets together. 

We have been focusing on the story 'Brown bear, brown bear' this week. The children have been joining in with repeated phrases in story time and recalling the names of colors in the story. 

Creative Learning

In the art area the children have been encouraged to explore the world around them through creating autumnal collages. The have been speaking about the resources we have collected and arranging them to make their own pictures. They have also been particularly enjoying creating dinosaur worlds in the sand tray and acting out their cooking experiences in the mud kitchen. 

Construction

We have had some great team work this week in the construction area. The children have worked collaboratively to put their tracks together and have taken turns with the trains once it has been completed.

 

Outdoor play 

The children have really enjoyed our new football goal we have set up this week. We have set up cones so they can practice their foot control by dribbling carefully around these and they have taken it in turns to aim for the goal. 

We would like to encourage the children to collect as many leaves as they can and bring them into nursery next week as part of our classroom Art activity.
