We have had a lovely week and have been enjoying the brighter weather Spring is bringing us! The children have been reading 'The Runaway Pancake' and have had the opportunity to make and taste pancakes this week.
Please check on Evidence Me for information on our Mother's Day brunch on the 26th March. There is a sign up sheet online and there is a sign up sheet on the door in Nursery too.
Important Information
Evidence Me- Please check this as we have recently posted information on Parent meetings and a Mother's Day brunch.
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.
Labels - Please label all items, it really helps any lost items to return to their owners! Please also encourage the children to independently try and put on their coats and hats etc at home, staff will always help if needed but we always encourage independence.
Havering Children's Centre- The Havering Children's Centre are currently trying to ensure that all families with children under 5 years of age are registered with their local children's centre. We encourage you to register your child as this will help with their development and wellbeing.
Art Area
The children have started to explore colour mixing. They have particularly enjoyed painting their hands with two different colours and rubbing them together to mix the paint. They have then been using their new colours to paint their own pictures with.
" Wow, I made a new one!" Alara

Snack
As our focus story was 'The Runaway Pancake' we made some delicious pancakes together this week. They helped to mix the ingredients together and watched as the pancakes were tossed into the air! The children selected from fruit toppings or honey, they were very popular snacks.
"I have lots of blueberries on mine!" Evandy

The children then enjoyed exploring our story tuff tray later to re-create pancake making. They added the different toppings and practiced flipping their own pancakes in the pans!


Outdoor Play
The children have been enjoying the warmer weather and have had a great time outside this week. They particularly enjoyed using sponges to wash the bowls and the tuff tray, they had to carefully squeeze and pour which is great for fine motor development.

We also enjoyed exploring daffodils in the outdoor tuff tray. The children were able to mix their powder paint on a large scale outside to create their own pictures.

World Book Day
Stories are so important for listening and language development and we love celebrating reading in Nursery. Thank you to the parents and carers who were able to celebrate world book day with us. The children made some great story characters and enjoyed listening to their stories with their teddies.
