 Hello all,

This week we have celebrated The World Earth Day.  Through stories, videos and information books we have been learning how to look after our planet. Following this theme, we are working with the children on developing our garden area. We have already sown some seeds and are patiently waiting for them to grow.  We would greatly appreciate if you could donate a bag of soil or an established plant for your child to plant it our Foundation garden. 

Using books, we have learnt facts about our planet. We have identified water and land on the globe. We read and discussed ‘Somebody swallowed Stanley’ which is a book that develops children’s awareness of plastic pollution. We have also started learning about recycling.

The children were very excited about Tooth Fairy visit to our classroom. They have been writing notes and we have discussed the ideas and the vocabulary that the children might want to include. Many children wrote letters to the Tooth Fairy during child initiated play. 

I hope you all have a great weekend.

Mrs Robinson 👀

Teeth

Welcome back. It was lovely to see the children so full of enthusiasm to be back in the setting with all their friends.  We have been talking about relationships and how we look after and care for each other as we have some new children that have started in nursery. All the children have made a brilliant effort at welcoming  and sharing their space with them. 

Over the year we often have visitors that come into the setting at night such as Tinkerbell, Jack Frost and the giant from Jack and the Beanstalk. The children were very keen to invite another character in at night time. As we have been learning about oral health this week we decided to invite the tooth fairy. We will be responding to the tooth fairy with correspondence in the mornings. We will leave evidence around the room so that the children can become engaged creatively with the activities. We will be developing this further over the next couple of weeks.

As the weather begins to get warmer, hahahhaha please send your child in with a hat and sun cream if you feel they need it. We can always live in hope!

I hope you all have a great weekend, wood walks and stay and play sessions will commence from next week. We look forward to sharing learning with you.
