Nursery Learning Wb 20/1/25

This half term we welcome some new children and families to our Nursery. We are looking forward to having them join our community. Please bear with staff whilst we learn new names and faces at home time. It may mean dismissal takes a little longer for a few weeks.

                                                           Important Information 

Evidence Me- if your child has joined us in January you should have received an email invite to the our parent share app 'Evidence Me'. We will use the app to share observations of your children at nursery. 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. 

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. 

Coats, wellies, gloves and hats - As we are outside often we would advise the children to wrap up warm. Please do help us by labelling anything the children bring in as then we can help return any missing items to the correct owner! 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.

Imaginative Play

The children have been enjoying scooping and filling in the sand area. This week we added a tea set to extend their play and encourage imaginative play. They have spent long periods of time concentrating in this area and filling their tea cups for each other this week.

                                                                  Maths through play

To enhance our playdough area this week we added gems and sticks. The children have been enjoying making cakes for each other. The children have had lots of opportunities to practice our Maths skills by counting in order, finding the correct amount of candles for their cakes and sharing them with their friends. 

The children also listened to the story of the week 'The Hundred Decker Bus'. They counted the animals from the story using the puppets. 

Expressive Arts and Design 

We have been focusing on controlling our brushes and exploring paint. The children have enjoyed mixing paint and learning how much water to add to make marks. 

                                                                         Snack 

We are continuing with our focus on learning how to use knives to spread in the snack area. This week we added crackers with spreadable cheese. The children showed how much their skills have developed as they started to independently 

Reception Fairy Tale Dress Up Day

 Fairy Tale dress up day

Dear Parents and Carers,

As part of our topic this term, we will be incorporating a ‘Fairy Tale day,’ where your child can come to school dressed as their favourite character. This will only be for Reception class children and will take place on Friday 14th February. 

Some suggestions are: Little Red Riding Hood, a wolf, Goldilocks, a prince, Peter Pan, Cinderella, the Gingerbread Man, Aladdin, Tiana, Snow White.

Your child will not need school uniform on this day, however, we do suggest bringing in jumpers and coats as the children will be outside during parts of the day. Please remember to send your child in sensible and enclosed shoes.

Thank you.
