Christmas countdown in nursery

I know it’s such a busy time of year so I just wanted to send a reminder that will hopefully help you in the last few days of term.

Firstly, in nursery we are having something Christmassy every day next week and as of tomorrow Friday 10th.  Please feel free to send them in Christmas jumpers, sparkly tops, Santa head bands and all the usual fun clothes that we wear this time of year.  Don’t worry if you haven’t got any we will be making party hats and so on in nursery anyway.

Our main Christmas events are …

Friday 10th December a visit from Mr and Mrs Claus.  Last day to send in Christmas cards

Monday 13th December our postponed Winter wonderland – please meet us in the carpark. If your child does not attend on Monday’s they are still welcome to join in with you for the duration of the sing-a-long

Tuesday 14th December Nursery Christmas dinner day

Thursday 16th December Party day

Friday 17th December Last day and a few extra party activities and treats

Happy Christmas!

Mrs Lisa Curnow

Nursery winter wonderland

Unfortunately, a storm has been predicted for tomorrow’s nursery sing a long in the woods.  We have therefore, had to postpone until next Monday 13th December.  You are invited to attend at the same time as your original slot.  Fingers crossed for Christmassy weather.

Covid update 25th November 2021

Dear Parents/Carers,

As you can see from the table below, Telford and Wrekin are still struggling with incredibly high rates of Covid.

We are doing all we can in school to prevent the spread of the virus and we really appreciate the support we are getting from parents.

Some parents are getting frustrated when school staff call in order for them to collect their child. This may be because our staff team have spotted symptoms, or if indeed the child tells us they are unwell.

We know it is really hard to find immediate childcare, but we also hope all parents can see that we are only doing this in the hope we prevent further outbreaks across the school community.

We have everything crossed in the hope that all families and staff are not needing to self-isolate over the Christmas period and we will continue to work hard with this goal in mind.

As ever, thank you again for your continued support.

Farm on Wheels Visit – Tuesday 30th November

We are very excited to have the Farm on wheels visit nursery and reception on the afternoon of Tuesday 30th November.

In the nursery and/or school application you have already given consent for your child to see and stroke visiting animals.  If you wish to withdraw consent please contact the office as soon as possible.

Thank you Mrs L Curnow

 

Red riding hood

Next week, in mighty oaks, the children will be learning all about Red riding hood.  As part of this mini theme we would love to share photo’s of your child’s grandparents.  Please could you send in a photograph of them via the evidence me app, or if you prefer print one to send in.

Thank you very much for your support

Nursery ‘Winter Wonderland’

Christmas plans!

Dear parents / carers,

Our Basecamp at the area at the front of school will be turned into a ‘Winter Wonderland’ experience. We have asked the elves to start planning this wonderful event!

We will be inviting Ladybugs, Mighty Oaks and children who do not normally attend the Nursery on a Tuesday to visit the Winter Wonderland experience, each child will be allowed to invite one adult to accompany them – this may be any adult you would like to attend. We know that some parents will be disappointed as only one adult can attend per child, but we have to play it as safely as we can in order to protect children and staff as we approach the Christmas holiday. Please can we ask that you stick to one adult so that we can manage numbers safely.  The experience will last approximately half an hour.  Which will include ‘a Christmas sing a long’. There will be a small gift for every child. We will be offering hot chocolate and a festive treat to all who attend and only ask that you bring your own mug for your and your child (we are doing our bit for the environment!) and make a donation which this year is going towards purchases for the All Nations Community Grocery  communitygrocery.org.uk/telford 

On the day of the experience, children will be invited to come to Nursery in their Christmas jumpers / hats – you are more than welcome to get into the spirit too!

The date for the Nursery visit is Tuesday 7th December.  Information regarding time  slots for your child will be sent home this week.

We will be watching the weather forecast closely and we hope that the weather is on our side! Likewise, we will be monitoring the situation with regards to covid and following all recommended guidance. Should we need to make any changes, we will try to let you know as soon as possible.

We hope that you will be able to join us in celebrating Christmas this year.

Kind regards

Miss Cook

 

Children in need – 19th November

 

 

 

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

As previously advertised, our Year 4 children took part in the Children in Need ‘Big Fancy Dress Singalong’ this morning. We hope that some of you were able to tune into BBC Radio Shropshire this morning, where they broadcasted from Newdale before the children recorded performing their song and routine. The video will be uploaded onto BBC Radio Shropshire’s Facebook page and we think it will be on Midlands Today at 6.30pm this evening. Please do tune in!

 

We would still like the whole school to join in on the fun and support the main event which takes place on 19th November 2021.

 

On this day, children are invited to dress down and come to school in their Pudsey outfits, something spotty or striped or simply their own clothes if they would prefer.

 

Due to the virus, we will not be taking any cash donations for this event.  Instead you can use the link below to donate.

Regards

Individual and sibling photos

Academy Photography will be in school on Wednesday 1st December to take individual and sibling photos.   As school is so big, we will no longer be able offer family photos that include siblings who do not already attend our school or nursery, as we struggle to fit them all in by the end of the day.
