November Newsletter
CURRICULUM ACTIVITIES: Our learning topic this month is all about the weather. We’ll be looking at how the weather changes with the seasons and what appropriate clothes to wear, giving us plenty of opportunity to practice getting our coats, boots, hats and gloves on! The dark evenings, mean it is also an ideal time to remind little ones about road safety. The children in nursery will be having fun exploring water play - making rain drop sounds, looking at books based on different weather scenes, lots of songs and musical instrument playing to weather songs. They will be Focusing on games such as, matching weather flash cards, exploring the weather counting tree, making weather pictures using a wide range of natural resources. A fun way to keep fit is by music and movement, making shapes with their bodies to different weather sounds and fireworks while describing the sounds they make!
SUPPORT AT HOME:-Why not explore the outside and combine it with the weather by good old fashioned jumping in puddles! Can they hop and jump? Hold some tin foil or wrap it around a hoop and let the rain drop fall on it, What sounds does it make? As the weather changes, it’s a great time to focus on children practicing putting their own shoes, coats, hats etc. on. Perhaps their teddy bear could join in the fun getting dressed! Please look outside your child’s care room for planned activities, to get ideas or simply ask a member of the team on how you can support your child at home.
NURSERY IMPROVEMENTS:-Thank you for your patience this past week with the decorating being carried out inside the nursery, we are very excited with our new up and coming improvements – the nursery is going to look amazing! We have completed the painting in the entrance and hallway, new flooring will be added throughout the main walkway in the nursery. We have some new furniture and play equipment delivered ready to build and put into the rooms. A little more painting and upgrading our fire doors (these will take place at the weekends). In December we are having new safety flooring in the Foundation and U2's room fitting too!
CHILDREN IN NEED:- Each year we support Children In Need and we welcome your support. Last year we raised an amazing £583.20 we are hopeful this year’s efforts will provide equal success! Week commencing 13th November, nursery children will be involved in extra fun activities, which with your help, they can gain sponsorship from friends and family! By helping others, our children learn about community, charity and how with only a little bit of time and effort, they can help and make a big difference to the lives of children who are worse off. Keep an eye out for posters with more information on.
