Our Nursery day starts at 9am and finishes at 3pm.
Our P.E days are Wednesday and Thursday.
Library books will go home on Tuesday and Friday.
Children will need to bring labelled books bags, water bottles and lunch boxes each day.
We have had a wonderful first few weeks in Nursery. We have been having lots of fun learning in our new classroom and making lots of new friends.
We have been learning all about Autumn. We read the story Pumpkin Soup and Owl Babies in class. We have been exploring pumpkins and root vegetables and making repeating patterns using the objects we found on our autumn walk.
Autumn Art in the style of Andy Goldsworthy
This week we have been learning all about Bonfire Night. We learnt about Guy Fawkes and made lots of delicious traditional bonfire treats.
