Nursery Newsletter Autumn 2 Week 4

17.11.19

Welcome to our Nursery Newsletter. We hope you are having a lovely weekend.

We had such a busy week at Nursery last week.The children remembered at 11.00 on the 11th November, wore odd socks on Anti bullying day and had a lovely time learning about Elmer the patchwork elephant. On Friday the children made some super Pudsey bear biscuits.

This week our focus story will be "The Jolly Christmas postman" by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. The children will be mark making on envelopes and completing the very important job of writing a letter to Santa.

We will once again be letting the children have the opportunity to make their own snack.

We do appreciate the support we receive and working as a partnership is definately for the best of your child.

If you have any worries about toileting, feeding ,sleeeping etc please feel to mention it to Nursery staff. We would like to call on health care professionals if you would like some support with an area of development.

Some of our parents have been asking us about applying for a Reception place.
Even though your child is attending Mead nursery you  must apply for a place through Havering Admissions. You must apply for a primary school place by 15 January.
Thank you to the parents who joined one of our school tours. It was lovely to see you.
Thank you to all those parents who have already completed their appication. Feel free to ask Nursery staff if you need support with this.

Thank you so much to those parents that have been working on their child`s independance with putting their coat on. This is going so well, we really do appreciate your support.

We hope you have been able to find a family picture. We now have a few in but would really like more. Please send these in and we will display these in our home corner. This is a really nice way of maintaining the connection between home and school.
