A fantastic week in nursery this week, we are nearly at the end of term and the nursery children have settled so well in their new environment. We have continued with the Autumn theme this week and we focused on Autumn animals and hibernation. To start the week off, we had a lovely surprise in the Nursery outdoors. A small hedgehog came to visit us but it soon scuttled off. The children then listened to a story about a hedgehog preparing to hibernate – ‘It was a cold, dark night’. The children created lovely hedgehogs, winding wool around a hedgehog template and joining in other Autumn activities. Mrs Collins came to nursery and the children enjoyed singing and playing different instruments. In maths, we had been recognising numbers 1, 2, 3 – using our fingers and objects and listening to the story ‘Three little pigs’. The children also practised their pencil control, holding their pencil and controlling it along the lines. In PE, the children enjoyed playing games like ‘cups and saucers’ and ‘tag’ (Shark Vs Fish).

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.
Nursery Rhyme of the Week
Each week, we will be asking the children to learn a new nursery rhyme each week. A booklet has been provided for the new starters to help you sing along with your child but we will also singing other rhymes. This week it will be nice for the children to listen to ‘5 little Pumpkins’ Simple songs ready for Halloween week.
