Dear Nursery children,

Thank-you so much for sharing your Pet Potato adventures photos. It looks like your potato had a lot of fun and it was great to share your photos with your school friends. 

This weekend, following on from World Book Day, I would like you to read in different locations. Look at the sheet attached to get some ideas. 

Have a lovely time reading maybe you could add some photos to ClassDojo so that we can share them with your friends.

28th February 2025

Dear Nursery children,

This week we have shared the story 'The Pet Potato'.

Over the weekend it would be great if you could take a potato on an adventure. In the story Albert puts the potato on his train, takes it to the playground, puts it on the slide and the swings, takes it swimming, reads it a story and Albert even put the potato on his pillow when he goes to sleep. 

What could you do with a Pet Potato? Take it on some adventures!

 Ask your grown-ups to take photos of yours and the potato's adventures and add them to class-dojos.

Have a lovely weekend

Thank-you for sharing your versions of 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' on class dojo's. The class enjoyed watching them.

Dear Nursery Children,

Thank-you so much for all of your hard work with the show. You did a brilliant job and should feel very proud of yourself. 

This weekend maybe you could talk to your grown-up about what you remember from the Nativity story. Maybe you could draw a picture and bring it in, ask your grown-up to write down what you say about the picture. 

Have a lovely weekend

6th December 2024

Dear Nursery children,

This week we looked at some of the bauble shapes on our Christmas trees, in Nursery. I wonder if you can see any shapes on yours. Take a look. Maybe you could put a photo of your tree onto class dojo so that we can have a look at how trees are decorated differently. Maybe when you are out and about you could look at other trees to see what shapes you can see. 

Have a lovely weekend

Miss Whittaker

Dear Nursery children,

This week we have been thinking about where light comes from. We have looked at candles, torches, street lights, the sun and more but can you find any other sources of light around your home or when out and about?

Please upload  your learning to classdojo. The children really like seeing themselves on the big screen and thank-you for sharing the Diwali dancing. 

Have a lovely weekend

Dear Nursery children,

Over the half term I would like you to do two things...

1) Go on a leaf hunt and look for different shaped and coloured leaves. Please bring them into school. We will be thinking more about Autumn after the holidays. 

2) Bring in a photo of you celebrating a birthday. We will put these up in class and talk about them when we are in class. 

Have a good holiday
