Nursery Learning w/b 30.9

 Nursery Learning Week beginning 30.9

We have had a lovely week in Nursery despite the recent wet weather. Thank you to the parents and carers who were able to meet with your child's key worker, if you have an appointment next week we look forward to meeting you then.

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 and wipes - If your child is in nappies and requires changing in Nursery please bring nappies and also a pack of wipes.  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. Coats - Autumn is now in full swing. We still have lots of opportunities for the children to access our curriculum outside so please ensure they are always appropriately dressed for the weather. Remember to label coats, hats, scarves and gloves too! 

   

                           Story Time

We have been focusing on the story 'Where's my Teddy' this week. The children have been joining in with phrases from the story. We have also used the story to support our understanding of positional language. The children have practised hiding teddies under, over, behind, in front of, next to and in between objects. 

Our two year olds have been focusing on a story called 'Heads, knees and toes'. They have been learning the names of different body parts and practicing the song 'head, shoulders, knees and toes.' 

Thank you to all of our parents and carers who came to meet their children's key workers this week. Remember we have an open door policy in Nursery so if you would like to talk to your child's key worker please do. You can also share their learning at home via our Evidence Me app. 

Toilet Training

This is an important independent skill and we will support parents to toilet train in Nursery. The following website has some good information for parents: https://eric.org.uk/potty-training/.

Here is a story with some visuals you can share with your child to support potty training: https://eric.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/When-its-good-to-go-booklet-Issuu.pdf.

Outdoor learning

Despite the wet weather the children have particularly enjoyed mark making and problem solving outdoors this week. They have been working together to place guttering in different positions so the plastic balls could fit through them. The children had to practice team work and taking turns.

Toast station

The children have continued to enjoy our toast station this week. We have added jam and marmalade for them to practice their scooping and spreading skills further. They are encouraged to use cutlery carefully to spread and cut. We have been impressed with the independence they have shown! 

 Thank you for another great week in Nursery!
