What a busy week its been this week! It has been World Nursery Rhyme Week and the children have been singing and joining in with many nursery rhyme activities. We started the week with ‘Press play’ and the children listened to a story and acted out the nursery rhymes. We have also had a lovely visit from some year 6s who came to join the nursery and sing with the children. It has also been maths week, we have not only been counting but also been learning about ‘mass’, weighing different objects and investigating which objects were heavy or light. This week’s ‘Come and Read’, the stories included maths. At the end of the week, we would like to thank you all for the kind donations for ‘Children in Need’ and the children enjoyed taking part in Pudsey activities like making the Pudsey hats.
Warm up sessions
Every morning, the children start their session off with different warm ups – Moving around in different ways, work with ribbons, disco dough (fine motor skills) and many more activities.

Key notices
Shared Reading Books – Every child has received a book and a reading record and the books are changed every Friday. Please can you make sure that your child brings their book and reading record back to nursery on a Thursday or Friday to change. At the end of term, certificates will be handed out for good reading. Thank you for your support!
Arriving on time
It is important that your child arrives in nursery on time, so that they are settled and are ready for the register and input.
Morning door open 8.30am-8.45am
Afternoon door opens 12.15pm-12.30pm
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.
Nursery Rhyme of the Week
Next week, nursery will be learning ‘5 speckled frogs’.
