Nursery Open Door Policy We would like to extend an invitation to all parents to pay a visit to the nursery during our Open Door Sessions that are running in the morning from 8.15-8.40am and afternoon from 3.15-3.30pm. This gives an opportunity for parents to view the Nursery planning, see the 7 areas of learning in practise and also engage parents in guiding their children in learning through play activities such as story telling, mark making, number games and construction. Storytellers wanted! If you have a spare half hour to read a story or sing nursery rhymes to the children, we would be most grateful; stories from around the world would be fantastic! Cooking Activity Fund You are invited to contribute £1.00 each week to our treats fund. This will be used to buy snacks, baking items, new toys etc. Independence! When your child visits the toilet emphasise hand hygiene and good habits e.g. using soap and flushing the toilet. Just a quick reminder to parents/carers, if you have not done so already, please send in SPARE CLOTHES for your child clearly labelled with their name to be left on their peg. Reception Class Workshops Encourage your children’s independence at nursery by dressing them in clothes and footwear which they are able to put on/ remove by themselves. Please ensure all of your child’s clothing and footwear are labelled. Spare Clothes We will be holding an Workshop update on what learning has taken place in the Spring Term with a brief outline on what will be covered in the Summer Term. The date of this workshop will be announced soon in a letter to parents. Achievements Please let us know if your child experiences any achievements outside the Nursery or Reception so we can share their success with the rest of the children. We will display the achievement on our achievement wall in the classrooms. to all parents who have contributed their weekly £1 for the children’s cooking activities. Also a BIG THANK YOU to all parents, carers and family members who have assisted the Reception class with their Cooking activities. Your participation is much appreciated JazakAllahu khairun!
