Home Is Where The Heart Is
Reception have really enjoyed using the home corner to develop their imagination and confidence based on their own family experiences.
We would like to enhance our home corner with real family photos to show how all families are different and how we are all unique.
If you would like to send a photo to be used within our classroom, email a family photo to scholesf2@spherefederation.org
PE in Reception….
A quick reminder that from this week, PE sessions for both Sunshine and Rainbow Class will take place on a Wednesday and Friday. Please send your child to school in their PE clothes on these days.
Thank you.
34O Certificate Celebration
We’ve had another awesome week in 3,4O. Our concentration is improving and we’re showing off a range of our amazing skills.
This week, our certificates go to…(insert drum roll here)
For great learning…
Archie- you are a really active learner. You get your hand up, listen carefully and work well with others. Well done!
For sport and physical activity…
Travis– for showing great determination in our PE lessons. You always try super hard and help those around you. Well done!
For living and learning…
Amelia – you are always ready to learn. In fact, you always show all of the 8Rs and that makes you a great role model for your peers – well done!
Wonderful wings!
Cardboard and paint! We have had a great day making our wings. Well done everybody!
Colour mixing for our wonderful wings
Last week, we learned to mix two primary colours to make a secondary colour. So, this week we used this knowledge to design and paint our wings only using two primary and two secondary colours.
We had lots of (messy) fun! We used strong blues, mixed greens…
and orange and purple…
shades of red using white …
and more blues and greens.
Finding our feet!
This week, children have really begun to find their feet in Nursery! They’ve enjoyed re-visiting their favourite areas to play and are finding new places to explore as well.
Outside, we had lots of fun rolling apples down the guttering and we enjoyed painting in the rain. The musical instruments were also popular; children made lots of loud noises on the pans and enhoyed using the percussion instruments whilst singing ‘Old MacDonald had a farm’.
In the Rainbow room, children began to work together to build towers and create homes for some of the animals using the wooden blocks.
We’ve introduced snack time this week and children enjoyed tucking into their toast each morning and having some milk. Thank you to everyone who has already paid. If you haven’t sent your snack payment yet, please do so by Friday 02 October.
Lots of children stayed for their first lunch at Nursery this week. They all did really well and enjoyed eating their packed lunch or trying something new from their grab bag.
For now, we have kept the toys and provision available for children to play with the same as it was on their first visit. This helps them to feel settled and secure as they return to familiar surroundings each day. As children are becoming more settled now, over the next week, we’ll gradually begin to make a few changes. We’ll adapt our provision to follow the interests that children have shown so far and we’ll share these changes with you next week!
Reminders
- Please send in your snack payment, if you haven’t already. Thank you.
- Remember to send your child in a warm, waterproof coat everyday and make sure they have some wellies at Nursery. If your child comes to Nursery in wellies, please make sure they have a pair of shoes to change into when inside.
- We try to develop independence at Nursery, especially when children are putting on their own shoes. Please try to avoid laces and send children in shoes that they can attempt to fasten themselves (eg Velcro).
