Welcome

   WELCOME

What a fantastic start we have had in nursery this week. The children have settled well and have enjoyed all the new experiences on offer in the setting. I hope it has not been too stressful for you all as I know how it feels to leave your child for the first time. Please be reassured that if your child is upset we will endeavour to sort it and comfort them. We will also contact you if they do not settle as we are happy for you to adjust their hours until they do.

Please can you make sure that jumpers and lunch boxes are clearly labelled with your child's name, as all the children wear the same jumpers and are not always the best at looking after their belongings at this age.

 Hello all,  It was lovely to welcome the new Reception class this week. We were very impressed with how calm and engaged in play the children were on their first days of school. The children are slowly becoming familiar with the new routines and new friendships are being established. We have enjoyed singing and story time together. The class took part in PE sessions with Mr Mills and the music lesson with Mrs Lawrence which were lots of fun.  Each week Reception class will take part in three PE sessions  ( Monday, Wednesday, Thursday) and on Tuesdays the children will be joining the whole school for the music assembly and will have a music lesson.  Next week Reception class will start Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Phonics programme and will take part in daily maths sessions.  Please remember to bring named welly boots next week if you haven't done it yet.  Have a lovely weekend!

  Celebrating Diwali in Reception! 🌟 This week, we had a wonderful time celebrating Diwali , the Hindu Festival of Lights! The classroom was full of colour, music, and happy smiles as the children explored a range of fun activities linked to this special festival. We began by creating beautiful Rangoli patterns , using bright colours and shapes to decorate our classroom. The children showed fantastic creativity and care in their designs! We also made some Diwali playdough sweets , rolling, shaping and decorating them just like real festive treats. Later, we lit up our divas and listened to peaceful Hindu flute music , helping us to think about light, kindness and new beginnings.

A big thank you to Daveen , who brought in his traditional Diwali clothes to show the class. Everyone loved seeing the beautiful patterns and colours, and it helped us learn even more a...

Hello all,  This week in Reception, we’ve had a fantastic time celebrating Black History Month through stories, songs, and play. The children have been immersed in learning about identity, culture, and the beauty of diversity. We read two wonderful books – "Happy in My Skin" and "So Much" – which the children really enjoyed. These stories sparked lovely conversations about self-love, family, and what makes us all special. A big thank you to Miss Nadie , who taught us a beautiful song from Tanzania called "Si Mama Ka." The children loved learning the rhythm and trying out new words in a different language. We also sang "Hello to All the Children of the World" – a joyful song that celebrates greetings in many languages and helped the children think about how people say hello across the globe. Outside, the fun continued! The children made fantastic use of the large tires in our outdoor area – rolling them, building houses, and creating their...
