Our latest newsletter

Nursery News

Welcome to a new school year!  The children have all settled really well and are enjoying taking part in a lots of activities. We are hoping to have our web page up and running as soon as possible and will use this to keep you informed of all the things we are doing in nursery.

We have some exciting things planned for the children this half term as we begin our topic “All about me”. We will be looking at using our senses, naming body parts, learning everybody’s name and developing the children’s understanding of keeping healthy in our Science week.

Come and See (our Catholic Education programme)

Our topic for the next few weeks is Myself. The children will be learning that they all have a name, they are all precious to God and that God knows them by their name. We are learning to say the Sign of the Cross in a simple way, which the children have picked up very quickly.

Snack money

 We ask for a £1 per week for snack money. This money helps to fund activities such as baking, which will take place each week, food for celebrations (Chinese New Year, Christmas parties etc.), extra snack items so that we can offer the children a wider variety of healthy snacks and plants for our lovely garden, which has won several prizes. You are welcome to pay snack money on a weekly basis or half termly.

Children’s clothes

It is fantastic that all the children are bringing in extra clothes in case of accidents. Please can you ensure that all your children’s clothes including coats and shoes are clearly labelled, especially school uniform as it all looks the same!

P.E

The children will be taking part in PE sessions this term in the school hall. Please can they bring in a pair of black slip on pumps to wear for these sessions. They do not need a pump bag as we will keep all the pumps safe for you. Please make sure your child’s pumps are clearly labelled.

We hope that you and your children are enjoying their Nursery experience with us. If you have any concerns or worries please feel free to discuss them with us at the beginning or end of the sessions.

Thank you for your continued support
