Lots of learning

This week we have been singing some number songs and the children have been enjoying participating in these songs. I think their favourite is '5 Little monkeys jumping on the bed'.

We have also been naming our shapes and sorting objects which are big and small

The children have really enjoyed completing some whiteboard work this week. Some children have drawn some amazing pictures and some children have written their initial sound for their name. We have been so impressed by many children trying so hard with their writing skills.

As you can see we have also been having lots of fun in provision, building, completing jigsaws, reading stories and playing outside in the garden! Nursery is so much fun!

Our little rays of sunshine this week are Marley Hall as this week he has impressed with his love of stories. He sits listening to the story with such interest. Marley also enjoys the story area where he chose the Dear Zoo story and the puppets. As he turned the page and lifted the flap to reveal an animal, he would then find the right puppet to match. Nora Johnson for doing some amazing writing on her whiteboard. She was able to do her 'N' for Nora and write the numbers 0,1,2 and 3. Jaxon Comby as while he was building with the unifix cubes he pointed out that “mine is tall now, there's 2 little ones”. Amari Cavagin for always coming into nursery happy. She is also now starting to explore more areas of nursery and she played in the outside sandpit for the first time. Finally, Nova Richards as we have been learning about big and small. Nova continued this learning during free flow and when she was in the garden went on a leaf hunt. She was very good at describing the leaves according to size. Nova then brought the leaves inside and made a beautiful picture with them. Well done to you all, what superstars!

Fun activities

Another week of fun in nursery. We are really starting to learn the rules and routines in nursery now and are having lots of fun during group time activities. This week we have been busy singing nursery rhymes using the song box and also building some amazing models using the Duplo.

We have also been practising our motor skills by doing some scissor safety and pencil control sheets. The children have also had lots of fun in provision playing doctors and nurses and splashing in the puddles this week outside in the nursery garden.

Our little rays of sunshine this week are Erin Hodkinson for doing some fabulous singing during our song box activity. She has also started to join in with our morning hello song trying very hard to sing the words. She has settled into nursery really well and always has a smile on her face at group time. Ethel Ross as she was a superstar at giving teddy the correct number of cupcakes. Ethel was able to recognise the number 5 and give the teddy 5 cupcakes. Erin Hanmer as when she returned to nursery, she was unsure about leaving mam, but this week she has jumped into nursery with a wonderful smile. Erin has also impressed me with how confident she is with her scissor skills and is now cutting out picture. Hayden Clough for doing an excellent job at completing the jigsaws independently. He said “I did it” when he'd put all the pieces together. He has also settled into nursery really well and is doing a great job with our group activities. Oliver Russ as he really impressed while constructing with the Duplo. He told me “A bigger wolf can't blow mine down” when I asked Why? He said “because it's my house and it's strong” Finally, Carson Jackson as he has done some fantastic cutting this week. Carson was very careful and demonstrated good control when cutting around shapes. Well done to you all, what superstars!

Another fun week

This week has been another week of getting to know our rules and routines in nursery. The children have settled even better this week and we have had very few tears from the children which is great.

We are now fully into our key worker sessions and the children are enjoying getting involved in their helper of the day routines. They have also enjoyed taking part in the group time activities planned which have included threading, song box, musical instruments, lycra and jigsaws.

We have also been enjoying the provision and especially outdoors with the lovely weather we have had this week.

Our little rays of sunshine this week are Stefan Norman for coming back so well and settling back into nursery life. He always follows our rules and routines and does a great job of engaging at group times. Nate Gilbert as he has taken to full time really well. Nate has also been really kind to our new friends and has helped them settle into nursery life. Isla Maskell as she has returned to nursery like a little superstar. She is following nursery rules and routines and is using the toilet independently. River-Mae Conlon for having no more tears when she is coming into nursery. She has really grown in confidence and is talking a lot more during group time and during her play. Chester Pearson as he did an amazing job at writing his name. Finally, Coby Dent as he returned to nursery and was a little upset for the first few days, however, this week he has been a little superstar and has come to nursery with a big beaming smile. He also did some amazing singing when we passed around the song bag and joined in with all of the nursery rhymes. Well done to you all, what superstars!

The children will have brought a library book home today to share with you. This needs to be brought back before Friday so they can change it next week.

Welcome to a new year

Welcome everyone to this new academic year. We hope everyone is going to have lots of fun in nursery and enjoy the start of their educational journey with us. The children have settled really well and we are very proud of how well they have come in and started to learn the rules and routines of nursery life. This week we have been focusing on the rules and routines and allowing the children to explore all of the environment both indoors and outdoors.

Next week we will be having another week of settling in and learning our rules and routines of nursery and doing some short practical activities to begin our group times.

I have sent a letter with some important dates and information on but I will be sending reminders and dojos nearer the time with more information for some events.

Our website page is updated every Friday with the exciting activities we have been doing during the week so please remember to have a look! Hope you all have a lovely weekend and see you on Monday for another lovely week!
