March 2024 Newsletter
CURRICULUM ACTIVITIES: Our learning topic for March is ‘Our natural World’, The natural world includes plants and animals, soil, rocks, water, and air. Things can be described, compared, and classified on the basis of their characteristics. Nature includes living and non-living things. Living things need food, water, air, and shelter, and can move, grow, and reproduce. Fun activities this month include learning about recycling to protect our nature, counting how many bugs we see in the garden, learning how to help our environment etc. Throughout nursery, children will do age appropriate activities, using the seven areas of the EYFS curriculum. You can find planned curriculum activities in nursery outside your child’s care room.
Support at Home:- To support your child’s nursery education at home, help your little ones by going for walking and exploring the wildlife, ask them to describe what they can see, do some counting, take some paper and crayons and have fun doing some tree rubbings! Look at recycling at home – what can be recycled, make a tally chart learning numbers at the same time!
APRIL FEES & FUNDED ONLY MEAL’S REVIEW:- Following a complete review of our costs, to be able to provide the standard of care you rely on and expect, we have had to review our fees accordingly.
