This week the nursery has been learning about Spring. The Preschool children have been doing counting activities with carrots and they have chick feathers in their playdough. They have been exploring spring time plants, grass, seeds and are going to have a go at planting them later today. We wll learn about how plants grow and how to care for them. We also have Spring themed flashcards to use during small group time where the children have been talking about animals and their young. The children have shown so much interest in this topic that they have even brought some Easter/ Spring themed items in from home to show to their friends. 🐑🐰🐣🐥🐤

Say hello to Mikey and Sally Sock :) Each room in the nursery is introducing puppets to their circle time routine. This is to help encourage communication skills as Mikey asks the children to talk about themselves within a small group. We have made some 'postcards' that Mikey (and other characters) will be sending home for parents to write down what their child has been doing at home. Your child will then talk about what they have done during circle time with help from Mikey and then the whole group joins in to contribute their knowledge or experiences on the subject. For example, the Toddlers have spoken about their trips to the seaside, trips to the theatre to see Dear Zoo, new baby siblings and their bedtime routines. Please ask your room for a postcard to fill in for your child.

DID YOU KNOW? Experts in literacy and child development have discovered that if a child knows 8 nursery rhymes by heart by the time they are four years old, they are usually among the best readers and spellers in their class when they are in Year 3. Nursery Rhyme Top Tips 1. Start with simple nursery rhymes like ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’, ‘Baa Baa Black Sheep’ and ‘1,2,3,4,5 Once I Caught a Fish Alive’ 2. Use actions, facial expression and vary your voice to capture interest 3. Clap along to establish a steady beat 4. Say the words wrong and let your child correct you! 5. Change the words to make personalised rhymes “One for the master, one for the dame and one for Olivia Jones, who lives down the lane” 6. Miss out rhyming words and encourage your child to finish the line. 7. If you are unsure of the tune, why not search them on YouTube or ask one of our wonderful nursery staff to sing it to you!

One of our staff members has been on an Early Literacy training course recently and would like to share a video that she watched whilst there. It is a video from Save the Children. The film follows a boy through scenes of his life as he struggles to comprehend the written word after his father avoids reading to him as a child. Slightly extreme some might say, but the message is to teach parents the importance of reading to their child. Just 10 minutes a day could help them build strong foundations ready for when they start school and begin deveoping further reading and writing skills. It is also a great way to have fun and bond with your child! 📖📚📙 Does your child have any favourite books? Have you tried any of our chatter packs?

This morning we had a scheduled fire drill at the nursery. All the children listened to staff really well and evacuated the building in a calm and safe manner. Well done everyone! To continue your child's learning about fire safety at home, why not ask them about it? What did they do? What did the noise sound like?
