Home learning

 Welcome back to home learning after a tricky week in nursery. I hope you are all well and managing to cope with work commitments as well as child care. Please do not hesitate to email me if you need anything school related. I will be putting things on Teams daily so please please look at it and try and support your child's learning at home this way.  

 The children had been learning how to describe people. I have put some activities on Team that relate to this learning and its a really simple and easy activity to do at home. Describing how someone looks is easy but to describe what they are like is a completely different thing and the children had just started to grasp the concept, so I would really like this to continue.

You should all have received your link for our Teams consultations next week. If you have not received this can you email me to let me know. I look forward to seeing you all and having a chat but most of all I look forward to seeing you back at school on the 5th July.

Stay safe.

Rain, rain go away

 It is raining very heavily as I am writing my blog this week. The first thing the children said was it would be good to help our plants grow. I think they are right but I do hope it doesn't last all weekend.

This week the children have been learning about their senses, hearing, sight, taste, touch and smell. We have played blindfold games allowing the children to use their senses to navigate. We have also used our feet to feel different textures and temperatures. The children have learnt so much and have enjoyed all the activities. We have learnt how to describe our friends in different ways. They have learnt how to observe and describe how their friends look but also what that person is like. Please encourage your child to do this at home, it is a good way of using language and also it helps children to observe personalities.

You should all have received an email with our transition information. Please speak to me if you have any concerns. I do want to reassure you that your children are well established in the setting and they will still be with us in September so nothing will really change.

Have a good weekend.

Releasing into the wild

 This week the children have learnt about responsibilities as we have released our butterflies and our tadpoles into the wild. They have observed the changes in the life cycle over a period of time and they have a good understanding of what happens next. It has been an exciting time and the children were a little sad to let them go. We have talked about life cycle's in other living creatures including ourselves. Please can you send in a photo of your child when they were a baby. This can be through email if you prefer. Please don't send in a precious photo as we would like the children to be able to handle and compare themselves from being a baby to now.

We are now beginning our transition process so that the children will be comfortable moving into their next year group. This also includes children going to other schools. The children who are staying with us will have a natural transition as they will be staying in the same setting, other children will be moving onto new schools and I will be contacting their teachers in the coming weeks. If you have any concerns about this process please email me.

As the weather has finally turned a corner can you make sure you child has a hat and some sun cream on.

Have a great weekend.

I have made a huge mistake this week and deleted all the photos from the camera before saving them, sorry.
