What a fun filled second week we have had in Nursery! It’s been an exciting week for us, we had odd sock day and our first Family Learning session on Monday, Remembrance Day on Tuesday and then we journeyed into Space on Thursday with our Wonderdome planetarium experience!
The children also enjoyed completing some activities on friendship – I’m sure you saw the beautiful friendship bracelets we made and wore home. We also had a great time making some poppy biscuits which included a chocolate button centre! Some of us took them home to eat, while the rest of us had them as an afternoon snack after forest school. We unanimously decided that they were delicious and we should do some more cooking again very soon.
Next week we will continue our ‘Space’ topic with our focus text ‘How to Catch A Star’ by Oliver Jeffers.
Have a great weekend everyone,
Thank you,
Ms Munro, Mrs Roberts and Mrs Shew
This year for Christmas, instead of having a Christmas Fair and asking you for lots of donations and to volunteer on the day, the PTA are running 2 different events.
🎅🏻 *Elfridges - 5th December 2025*
This is a really lovely opportunity for your children to buy surprise gift for their loved ones. There will be gifts suitable for mum, dad, grandma, grandad and siblings, etc. Each child taking part will get to visit the shop during the day on Friday 5th December. There will be helpers in the shop to guide them on what to buy. *Tokens need to be pre-ordered by 21st November.* Don't miss out. Gifts range in price from £1 to £2.50.
*Still need to buy tokens?* You can pre-order tokens via the PTA box, cash in an envelope with child's name and class.
🎅🏻 *Carols with Santa - a magical hour of festive fun! 12th December 2025*
This is a free event straight after school on Friday 12th December. We will have the Aeolians and school choir singing Carols, of which everyone is welcome to join in. There will be a special visit from Santa on his pony-driven sleigh delivering a token gift to all the children.
There will be refreshments available to purchase.
Take a look at the pictures from this week's Forest School session. We had a go at leaf rubbing, looking at the autumn colours and talking about the patterns we could see in nature. We also got to show how we remembered some of our safety rules from the previous week. We will be Forest experts before long!
This week for our home learning we would like to invite the children to design their own monster alien as part of our space topic. Young Writers are holding a Monster Mayhem competition for the best monster alien pictures to be published in a book. We are therefore going to submit all the children’s artwork into the competition. Please see all the information on the sheet and template that your children are bringing home with them. We can't wait to see what imaginative creations they come up with!

It would be helpful if your child could bring in their welly boots and waterproofs, which can be left in school as the weather is changeable at the moment. After half term we will be starting Forest school with our afternoon children, as part of our 'Welly Wednesdays'. So make sure you have named puddle suits and wellies ready for then at the very latest!
If your child is staying for lunch, try to ensure they have a healthy, balanced lunch box. Below are some ideas.
