It has been a lovely week this week and Nursery focused on the Gruffalo story. The children listened to the story and talked about the animals that the mouse met long the way before meeting the Gruffalo. The children have interacted with many of the activities, used different painting techniques to paint their own Gruffalo, an owl and a fox, made Gruffalo hats, developed their cutting skills by cutting out purple prickles for the Gruffalo’s back and even enjoyed the sensory trays with owl ice cream (shaving foam and feathers) and Gruffalo crumble (porridge oats).
Gruffalo 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.
