Term: Autumn 2 WB: 14.11.16
Dear Parents and Carers,
This half term our topic is ‘colour’. Next week we will be looking at the story, ‘Brown bear, brown bear what do you see?’ We will be concentrating on colour and mixing colours to make new ones. If you have this story at home, see if your child can retell it to you when looking at the pictures and name the colours.
Next week we have school photos on Wednesday. Please make sure your child is in correct uniform ready for their photo. Children in need is on Friday. If children wish to wear something spotty to school, please bring in £1 donation on the day.
We are starting to prepare for our Nursery Christmas production! We will be performing to parents on Tuesday 13th December. Add the date to your diary to make sure you can attend. The children work very hard at learning all their Christmas songs and it is always a very special day for both parents and children.
Notices
We have noticed at Nursery that some children are struggling to get their coats on by themselves. Please encourage and support your child to dress independently at home. Children should be able to get coats on and put feet in shoes by themselves. If they need help with zips and buckles they can ask for adult help.
If you get to Nursery early and are waiting outside for us to open, please be aware that children should be directly outside the nursery doors or on the path with parents. Children are not permitted to run around the car park or up and down the slope. Staff leave/enter the school at different times and we want your children to be as safe as possible.
Book sale
Don’t forget our book sale is on the Nursery kitchen everyday. Please come in a buy some children’s books.
Times
Morning Nursery: 8.30am - 11.30am
Afternoon Nursery: 12.30pm - 3.30pm
Please be aware that morning Nursery children need to be collected at 11.30am at the latest. Please make sure you are outside our Nursery door at 11.20 ready to collect your child when we open the door. Children who are not collected by this time will be taken round to the main school office for late collection.
Uniform
At Mead children play outside in all weathers. Please make sure your child attends Nursery with a waterproof jacket each day. Additional hats/scarfs etc may be needed as the weather gets colder. Please be aware children may finish Nursery slightly messy or slightly damp from playing outside. We believe that children learn a great deal from playing in different weather conditions and please be assured that your children will not be left in soaking wet clothing for the whole session. If you would like to send spare clothes in to keep at Nursery incase of accidents please hand them to one of the Nursery staff in a named bag.
We are aware that some parents are a little concerned that children shoes/clothes are being ruined in the sandpit outside. The sand pit offers a great amount of learning and challenge for the children. If you wish to leave wellies under your child’s peg for the session you can do but please take them home at the end of the day.
The Newsletter will also be published on the EYFS blog. You can view this from the school website: http://www.mead.havering.sch.uk or by following the school facebook page.
Kind regards,
The Nursery Team
