CHRISTMAS IN NURSERY
Our Christmas preparations are under way in nursery! Santa's workshop will soon be up and running in the nursery garden and the children have begun practising their nativity songs. They can't wait to perform for you. Please see below some important dates for your diary.
BUDDING SCIENTISTS
The children really enjoyed our recent science laboratory role play. They learnt to use equipment, predicted what might happen, observed changes and talked about what they saw. Look how busy they all were.....

Big Little Moments
We have been working with Betterstart Southend on our children's communication and language in nursery. Below is a link with some lovely ideas for helping children lean and communicate - why not start with sharing a story.....
WEEKLY DONATIONS
Thank you so much for your donations. We have been making good use of them to enhance our nursery environment. The children loved scooping out pumpkins this week and we have kept the seeds to grow our very own pumpkin patch! We also had a tea party with "The Tiger Who Came to Tea".
Parent Reading Sessions
Every Thursday, at the start of the session, we would like to invite you to change your child's book and enjoy reading with them. We have a wonderful selection of books for you to choose from and with your support we hope to foster a love of books in our children from an early age.
Embracing the Outdoors
The outdoor environment is a rich and natural space for learning. We spend lots of time outside in our nursery garden and would ask that children are dressed for outdoor activities as we go outside whatever the weather! Please remember to name shoes, coats, wellies etc.
Phonics
We will be learning the RWI sounds each week and revisiting sounds previously learned. We will also focus on a number and colour each week.
