Let’s read – new books!
Each class chose £100 worth of new books to refresh our reading corners. They were delivered just before Christmas and the children couldn’t wait to get stuck in! We particularly bought non-fiction (information) books that can be dipped into. The Lego, animal and science-based lift up flap books were a particular hit.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! We hope that you’ve had a happy and healthy break over the Christmas holidays.
Remember, we have a training day on Monday 04 January. We’re looking forward to welcoming you back to Nursery on Tuesday and can’t wait to hear all about the fun that you’ve had over the last two weeks. We’re also looking forward to meeting our new families on Friday, when our new children will join us for a settling in session.
This week, we will focus on settling children back into Nursery routines and we’ll be looking for any new interests that children have. Don’t forget to send us an email if your child has suddenly become engrossed in something new at home! We will add their new interests to up-date our ‘What makes us tick’ notice display in Nursery. We use these interests to inform our planning and learning activities in Nursery.
See you soon! Foundation One Team
Merry Christmas
What a fabulous, festive and fun filled week we’ve had! Children loved our Nursery Christmas party on Monday. We danced to Christmas songs in the school hall and played some traditional games including pass the parcel and ‘corners’. Afterwards, we enjoyed eating some party treats and then watched the animated version of ‘Stickman’. Lots of children remembered parts of the story from reading it in Nursery in our small world area.
On Wednesday, we watched a live pantomime and enjoyed some popcorn during the performance. The children were engrossed and soon began to join in… It’s behind you!
On Thursday, everyone had a traditional Christmas lunch together which included pulling crackers, telling jokes and wearing party hats! Afterwards, we visited the ‘Christmas lights’ in the school hall. You may have already seen the photographs on our Facebook page. We had another surprise when we got back into Nursery, Father Christmas had been! We watched a video of Santa playing in Nursery, he read us a story and left us a Nursery present. Thank you, Santa!
Finally, we’d like to say thankyou for our cards and gifts and for your lovely comments about our Nursery Christmas Sing-a-Long videos. We’re glad you enjoyed watching at home.
We’d like to wish you all a very merry Christmas (even if it might be a little different to usual) and a happy and healthy new year!
A quick message from Mrs Hogarth
Miss Fallon and I would like to say a huge thank you for all the gifts we received today. It’s really generous of you and greatly appreciated. It appears that some parents know me quite well!
Thank you to all the parents of 5/6 S for your positive comments , emails of support and kind messages that we receive. It really does help to keep us going.
The class have had a great term and I can’t wait to see them all again in the new year.
I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and a very happy and healthy new year.

It’s Christmas!
It has been a busy half term with lots of fun and learning along the way.
This week has been a Christmas filled extravaganza.
The children loved watching the pantomime. Thank you Friend of Scholes Primary (FOSP) for paying for us to watch this!
Sunshine and Rainbow have also become expert sprout peelers!
We enjoyed our Christmas dinner with some extra dinner guests.
We had a visit from Professor Myers. She had been in touch with Santa and the elves to bring a candy cane experiment.
How strong is a candy cane?
We tested different objects in our classroom and recorded our results.
From everyone in Sunshine and Rainbow, we would like to wish you all a merry Christmas!
