Term: Summer 1 WB:18.04.17
Dear Parents and Carers,
We hope you had a lovely Easter break. Time is flying by and we are now in the Summer term. As this is the last term in Nursery before the children start Reception and main school we are encouraging lots of independence. After May half term we will be asking parents to say goodbye to their children in the cloakroom and let children walk in by themselves. This is to aid the transition from Nursery to Reception. If you think your child is ready to do this by themselves already please feel free to begin encouraging this right away.
This half term we are looking at ‘Traditional Tales’ which include, The 3 Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears and The 3 Billy Goats Gruff. If you have these at home please read them to your child and see if they can remember any repeated phrases, or can tell the story by themselves.
Due to the age of Nursery children, many are more likely to have toilet accidents during their time here. If we change your child into spare clothes that belong to Nursery please return them washed ASAP. Nursery now has NO spare clothes to change children into if they are wet. If you have any spare uniform that children have grown out of e.g. trousers, skirts, jumpers, cardis etc Nursery would gladly keep them as spare uniform for other children.
Notices
Outside play- When the weather is sunny and to develop children’s independence, children will be permitted to choose whether they wear their coat in the garden. Our outside area is very large and children get very hot running around. Please be aware that staff will do their best to make sure that children are comfortable during the day.
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.
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
