Welcome back! The nursery children all came back settled in nursery and enjoyed interacting with their friends in all the different areas. There were many enjoyable activities this week and the children made wonderful creations. Firstly, for maths we focused on 2D shapes and had 1:1 activities identifying the 2D shapes and creating pictures with shapes. Then the children learnt about the importance of keeping safe on Bonfire night and also created so wonderful firework paintings and firework models. Later in the week, the children listened to the traditional story of ‘The Three Little Pigs’ and while making their pictures of the three different houses, story maps and paintings, the children were able to retell the story. We ended the week with Remembrance day, creating poppies and painting poppies – amazing Artists!
Fireworks!

What a busy week!
Uniform
We encourage nursery children to wear the same uniform as the rest of the school so they feel part of the Newham Bridge family. This includes: * Red jumper or cardigan * Grey skirt or trousers * White shirt or polo shirt * Black shoes / trainers ( no laces please)
A suitable coat (for all weathers) Please can you label each clothing item.
Please can you make sure your child has a small bag with spare clothing and if still toilet training they will need their wipes and pull ups.
Water bottles
Though the children have milk or water (in a cup) for snack time. Nursery children can bring their own water bottle to school with water (clearly labelled/ no metal/shop bought bottles or juice) and we will pop it in a tray, easy for the children to drink.

Next week it is World Nursery Rhyme Week and we will be singing a certain number of nursery rhymes: Twinkle, Twinkle, Old Macdonald farm, The big ship sailed, Incy Wincy spider and 5 currant buns. Here is a website link to watch videos and sing along to these nursery rhymes.
