Evidence me

I know most of you are using evidence me brilliantly and are enjoying sharing observations of your child.  If however, you come across any hurdles we have just been provided with some additional support from the team behind the app.  They have provided the following link for use to use..

In addition, please let us know if you are experiencing any difficulties.

One way system from 8th March

Dear parents/carers,

We are really looking forward to children returning to school next Monday.  Our one way system has been in place since September and has been working extremely well.  We believe that this is the best way to allow parents to socially distance on site.  If you access the school grounds from the top gate (at the back of the school playground), please ensure you follow the one way system and go through the playground,  even if you are dropping off at nursery, year 1 or Mr Jackson’s class.  Staff will be in place around the school site to help guide everyone in the right direction

World Book Day

World book day takes place on 4th March.  The school’s whole theme is based around the story Alice in Wonderland.  Your child is invited to dress up on that day as a character from the story however, please feel free to send them in any other dressing up clothes.  We really don’t want you to go out especially to buy anything.  In addition, if your child chooses not to dress up that is absolutely fine too. Nursery also has some washed dressing up clothes ready if any child would like to use those instead, so again please don’t go out and buy anything new.

Thanks again

Mrs Curnow

Internet safety day

We have talked about keeping safe on the internet today at nursery.  One of the useful tools we use is “Smarty the penguin” in which a character has to make good choices in a range of real life scenarios when using the internet.  I’d definitely recommend it for you to share again with your child again as this will help establish some safe practises.

Please use the link below and select the appropriate age group.

Mighty Oaks/ Ladybugs information

Good Morning,

We are pleased to tell you that our Mighty Oaks room  will reopen tomorrow (Tue 9th Feb) for all Mighty Oaks children.   Unfortunately our Breakfast and After School sessions will not be running,  opening times are 8.30am  – 3.20pm.  Sessions will return to normal after the half term break.

We are looking forward to welcoming all our Ladybugs children back after the Nursery half term break on (Mon 22nd Feb).

Kind regards

Message from Miss Cook

Clarification 6.2.21

Dear Nursey Parents,

As I hope you have heard, we are having to shut the entire nursery on Monday to children and staff.

All children in the 2 year old provision (Ladybugs) need to self isolate as we have had a number of staff unfortunately test positive for the virus. Someone from school will contact you on Monday with more details.

All children in our 3 year old provision (Mighty Oaks) need to remain off on Monday (many conclude their self isolation period at midnight on Monday). It is likely that some children in this room will be welcomed back on Tuesday after their self isolation period has ended. We need to spend time looking at direct contacts of the positive cases and making sure we have enough staff available to fully open this room.

We know this is a complete inconvenience for many parents and we do apologise. Our nursery is having a run of bad luck. Thankfully our twice weekly testing is helping identify staff rapidly, so we can take action and hopefully avoid any further spread. Both rooms will undergo a thorough clean on Monday.

We recommend you getting a test for your own peace of mind, even if no one in your family is displaying symptoms.

As I say, someone will call you on Monday to give you further details. Let’s hope this is the last hurdle we have to jump before things get back to normal.

Art day

On Monday 8th February the whole school is taking part in an art day.  For those of you at home on Monday you might like to join in  by making a handprint.  We are going to make a handprint in nursery using paint and then decorate them when they are dry.  You could perhaps make a handprint i the same way or by drawing around their hand.  They could decorate it using different textures or colours.  Your child could stick on dried pasta, fabric scraps, wool, glitter, old bits of wrapping paper or anything you can find.  This is a really good opportunity for your child to practise their scissor skills and discuss the textures and colours that they like.  Perhaps they could send their handprint to a grandparent stuck onto a card with a kind message written inside?

Please share any art that you do create via evidence me, we’d love to see.

Thank you to everyone for the wonderful responses today regarding the google classroom activities.  There will be further letters and sounds activities available after 9.30am on the 4th, 5th and 8th of February for those children who are self-isolating.  Please feel free to access them as well if your child is at home on those days.  In addition, there will be an end of session story available after 2.30 on the dates previously listed.

Please let us know your child’s responses via evidence me, thank you.
