The nursery children have had a super week this week. This week, the children listened to the stories of ‘The pitter pattern’ and ‘Simon sock’, helping them to recognise patterns. We have been recognising different types of patterns that can be found around us and some children were even able to create ABAB patterns with different objects. The children enjoyed listening to the story of ‘The Leaf thief’, they had to find out who was the suspect, who was pinching the leaves off the squirrel’s tree -the blue bird, mouse, woodpecker or the wind? The children were creative with drawing around the leaves with different autumn colour pens, leaf printing and painting with sticks.

Key notices
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.

Each child this week have been provided with a Shared reading book and a reading record. Please spend time with your child to share this book and talk about the story and the pictures. Please make a comment and sign in the reading record in week and bring the book back with the reading record on a Thursday or Friday for it to be given back out on Friday. Each term, children who have enjoyed sharing their book will be provided a certificate.
