Summer 1- Week 1 in Nursery:

Wow…Wow…Wow!

What a very busy and exciting first week back we have had! We welcomed 3 of our new friends into Nursery. The children have been showing our new friends our Nursery and they have settled extremely well into our class! 😃

Our topic this half term is People Who Help Us and what an exciting topic it is! Each day we learn about the people who help us, their roles and responsibilities!

We have been extremely lucky to have exciting visitors this week. Douglas’ daddy and some of his firefighter friends from Pegswood Fire Station visited our school on Wednesday. The firefighters told us all about their job role and the different equipment that is in the fire engine. The children all had a turn in the fire truck and used the hose to knock the wood down. What a fantastic morning we had! 🚒 🔥

Yesterday, we were extremely lucky to have Fraser’s Mummy in Nursery. Fraser’s Mummy is a Nurse! Fraser’s Mummy told us all about her role as a Nurse at the hospital. She also brought lots of different doctors/ nurses equipment. Fraser’s Mummy told us what each of the pieces of equipment were for and we had a go at some of them, using teddies as our patient. Fraser pretended to be a doctor and bandaged Emmy’s arm! Well done Fraser! The children were very excited to hear all about the role of a Nurse. We have even made our own doctors/ nurses hats! 👩‍⚕️ 🩺

Next week, we have more visitors coming into Nursery and we also have some pre recorded videos of the different people who help us who could not make it into school. I wonder who will visit us next week… 👮‍♂️

In maths, we have been learning all about the concept of heavy and light. The children listened to the story Dear Zoo and then weighed some different pretend animals on the weighing scales! ⚖️

Our children who are moving up to Reception in September have really impressed me with their phonics learning and name writing! ⭐️

As you can see by the pictures, we have had a wonderful week exploring both indoors and outdoors. We have been colouring, drawing, building, snipping leaves, dressing up, pretending to be different workers and so much more. The children thoroughly enjoyed painting on our new Perspex screen and having fun in our new solar fountain! ⛲️

The children have loved playing in our new People Who Help Us role play area, dressing up and role playing with their friends! 👮‍♀️ 👨‍🚒 👩‍⚕️ 👨‍⚕️

Our reading area has also been updated into a very cosy reading den! 📚 🍃

A brilliant week Nursery superstars!
Well done! 🌟

STAY AND PLAY…
We are delighted to invite you into our class on Wednesday 20th May to see Nursery in action! This is a lovely opportunity for you to spend time with your child and join in with a range of activities together.

-Children who attend Nursery in the mornings: parents/carers are welcome to come into school from 10:30am–11:30am.

-Children who attend Nursery all day, and those who attend the afternoon session: parents/carers are welcome to come into school from 2:00pm–3:00pm.

Now that the weather is improving, we are looking forward to spending more time outdoors and enjoying lots of water play. Please could you ensure that your child always has a spare change of clothing at school (including underwear and socks).
A big thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Have a wonderful weekend! ☀️
