To all of our amazing Teaching Assistants, you are worth your weight in gold. Caring, nurturing, supportive, knowledgeable, determined, passionate. Our children are lucky to have you! Thank you!
This week in Nursery we have been learning all about ourselves and our families. We have used the materials from the transient art and crazy creations areas to make people in our families or ourselves!
In PE Nursery have really enjoyed learning how to move in different ways and working on their listening skills.
This morning in Nursery, something happened. We found a Leaf Man hiding in our garden. We all went to have a look at it and decided to bring it inside. To get it warm we used a blanket and discussed how Leaf Man might have got here and where it might have come from.
In PE our aim was to show awareness of others when working in a space. Well done nursery!
Over the past week Nursery have been sorting the leaves they collected by colour. Nursery explored each leaf to see what colours they could see. Together we created a ‘Big Draw’ using the Leaf Man book to help identify each animal the Leaf Man passed when travelling.
Today Nursery enjoyed learning about #WorldMentalHealthDay. We discussed how all feelings are important and drew what makes each of us happy! #HelloYellow24 #RPWellbeing
This month is ADHD awareness month. See the link below for some support materials that may help you and your child
During ADHD Awareness month, we would like to share another photo of our @ADHDFoundation
Umbrella Project. From the ADHD foundation website: The Neurodiversity Umbrella Project is an uplifting visual representation of all the different minds we have here in the UK. Every Umbrella Project installation helps to raise awareness and understanding of neurodiversity. Thousands of colourful umbrellas are strung together over public spaces, in schools, and in company buildings around the nation. Each display is designed to represent the one in five of us who have a neurodevelopmental condition, such as ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia or Tourette’s syndrome. These conditions fall under the umbrella term of neurodiversity. #neurodiversity #ADHDAwarenessMonth2024

Christmas is not about what is under the tree but who is around it and we can’t wait for the children to return to tell us all about it. Rarely they mention gifts, they mention you. They share their cherished memories of pj days snuggled on the sofa watching movies and eating only chocolate or funny stories of things that happened with their loved ones
Enjoy this special time together, relaxing and making memories and we look forward to seeing you all in the new year

Picture News – This week Nursery have discussed what we love most about where we live. Daisy – I live next to a park. Louie – I love my house. Charlie – I live next to a train satiation. We also enjoyed talking about who we live with and what we like about our house!
This week Nursery have really enjoyed our topic of superheroes. Lots of us had fun painting ourselves as superheroes, we remembered to look in the mirror to select the colour we needed. We have also had a great time trying to save the characters from the ice!
Thank you again to @Tesco for providing us with funding for daily fruit and veg for our children to enjoy. Fruit is available at break time and lunch time and if there is anything left, children (only) can help themselves to a piece of fruit for the way home/extra-curricular clubs. Children are having the options of at least 12 different types of fruit each day including: melon, watermelon, grapes, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, apples, bananas, tangerines, mango, pineapple, nectarines, plums, pears #StrongerStarts #fiveaday
