Dear Parents and Carers,
We would like to thank all the Mothers and Grand-Ma’s that joined us to celebrate our Mother’s Day Tea Party!
All the staff and children were very busy making lots of beautiful arts and crafts to decorate their classrooms and were all very creative with making their surprise gifts for the special mums in their world!
We sadly say goodbye to Flora in Toddler room that is leaving to go on maternity and we wish her all the best in having her new baby!
This month we have some new little friends joining us in our Babies, Toddlers Room that we would also like to welcome: Zoey and Theo!
After a busy day at nursery our new cuddly talking teddies, Peter Rabbit, Mr Teddy and Paddington Bear will be in each classroom ready to go home every Friday with one of their friends!
They enjoy going on adventures and meeting new people and having a bedtime story!
Can you write in their diaries and add a photo of what they got up to over the weekend so we can show our friends at nursery?

In April the children enjoyed learning about ‘Easter.’
The children were able to develop their creative skills in making a variety of arts and crafts such as Easter bunnies, Easter cards, baskets etc
As the children showed interest in creating patterns, their learning was extended by giving them opportunities to draw different patterns using fun tools such as sticks, feathers, brushes and pencils and more!
In May our Pre-schoolers have been focusing on ‘Transport.’
They have been reading lots of different transport books where they have been learning through sound games and learning about the different purposes of vehicles ie) Tractors, Police Cars, boats and Lorries …
