Snow day

Morning everyone!

As nursery is closed today we wanted to share some super snowy activities that you could take part in at home. The first idea is to look for footprints in the snow, particularly footprints that different creatures may have made. If you do find some, can you identify what might have made them? Please follow the link for some support with this. Your child’s keyworker would love to see any that you find using the evidence me app. Happy hunting! https://pin.it/3XRsFfn

World Book Day and Safety week

” The more you read the more you know, the more

you learn the more places you will go”

Mighty Oaks

Celebrating World Book Day this week by dressing up and listening to the children’s favourite stories. On the day we made our very own book marks and had a look at some of the online videos of stories from this years Early years WBD Authors.

We’ve been talking about safety when walking by roads. They’ve followed the ‘ Stop, look and listen ‘ rule when role playing in the garden and on a little walk around the school grounds.

Following on from safety we talked about people who help us, some of those being the police. We were very lucky as we know they are busy to have a visit from our local CSO’s who gave the children a little talk about what they do and a look around the police car.

In our PE session with Cross Bar the coaches revisited what we had previously learned over the term, putting their listening and remembering skills into practice.

We thank you so much for your wonderful and creative efforts in dressing up.

We have a very exciting visitor in nursery next week! The animal man is coming on Friday to help us to learn how to look after pets. Please can you support us with this by sharing any pets that you have at home via evidence me. We will use these pictures to prompt the children to talk about them.

World Book Day – Thursday 2nd March

Dear Parents and Carers,

This year’s World Book Day will take place on Thursday 2nd March with the theme “You are a reader!”

Due to the success of our last Book Swap Day, we will once more run a second-hand book swap shop. Children who bring in a book that they no longer want can swap it on the day (books in good condition only please).

As usual, we are all looking forward to seeing your child dressed up in costume as one of their favourite book characters. Teachers cannot wait to get involved too!

The World Book Day website has lots of ideas on how to do this with as much or as little effort as you would like. There are some excellent ideas to get you started: Dressing Up – World Book Day

However, children are equally welcome to come to school in their pyjamas all ready for a bedtime story if they prefer – just remind them to bring their favourite book too!

Your child will receive a £1 book token to spend on a FREE book, or to save £1 on another full price book of their choice. Full details are available at www.worldbookday.com where you can see the fabulous books that are on offer this year.

World Book Day is a super event to celebrate reading, but reading to and with your child is important every single day to ensure your child can learn to their fullest potential. We would love to see photos of you reading with your child – please stick them into your child’s reading diary if you can!

Happy reading,

Mrs Thomas

Our bodies

This week in Mighty Oaks

we have been focusing on our bodies and feelings. Through a range of activities we’ve talked about emotions, how babies grow and how good exercise effects our mood and body.

We used the special machine to show us the germs on our hands and the importance of good hand washing. They put on the magic lotion to show how much was taken away after a good wash.

In the PE sessions we’ve used the Mood movers videos to help us dance our way through our changing moods and how they make us feel. Then we made our way around the assault course. Crossbar coaches made us use our bodies to balance in different ways. They were so impressed with all of them and awarded star players.

In cooking club we made mommy and baby chocolate biscuits, then we talked and watched a video explaining how babies are made and grow inside the mommy’s tummies.
