Homegrown vegetables

What a treat to see our homegrown vegetables being pulled up and eaten yesterday. It was a really special moment to see their little faces full of excitement. We had a little nibble of the carrots at snack time and with the ones left our we fed them to the on-site Guinea pig Who was very happy with her fresh treat.

PE SESSIONS

We’re are delighted to say that we are back to doing PE sessions with Mr Acton and Mr Bryant on a Monday morning ( am children only ) all your child will need for these sessions is sensible footwear and a warm coat for the cooler days fast approaching us.

Treeific Tuesdays

The first of our treeific Tuesday’s started today with making super sausage rolls in cooking club working towards their culinary skills and fine motor movements. They did a great job and I may have tasted one just to make sure they were good, I can confirm it was yummy.

The weather didn’t stop forest school club either! They put on their wellies, wrapped up warm and went on a Autumn walk.

Learning about the environment and it’s changes the children collected what they had found ready to put into our Autumn sensory tuff spot, were we can talk about what happens to them each day as they decay. 👨🏿‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳🍂🍁

The Harvest GATEway Project

3.10.22

Dear Parents and Carers,

This year for Harvest, we are collecting as usual, but in the spirit of supporting our immediate community, we have decided that we want this to be even closer to home and support our own school community in these times of ever-increasing cost of living for everyone.

We will be collecting non-perishable donations (tins of food, toilet rolls, toiletries etc.) for a ‘give and take’ bank – hence the name GATEway (Give And TakE)!

With the contributions that are generously shared by parents, staff and governors, we will be setting up a regularly replenished box of non-perishable items – into which you can add items (box 1) if you can; or take items (box 2) should you need. These boxes will be outside the main office in the parent shelter.

If you can give something, please add it to the box. The box will be based on trust and not manned, and we are very much hoping that it may support those in need as we move into the winter months and while the cost of living is ever more.

Our project will launch during Harvest and we will notify you when the ‘Give and Take’ boxes are in place.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Grandparents

Next week the Mighty oaks children are focussing on the story “Little red riding hood”.  In the story the little girl visits her grandmother.  Linked to this, we are going to be talking about grandparents and would love to see your child’s grandparents.  Please could you send in a photograph, either a paper one or on evidence me, of the grandparents in your child’s life.  We will use these photo’s as a prompt for your child to share stories and memories about their nan’s and grandad’s.

In addition, please share “Little red riding hood” at home with your child to help familiarise them with the story.  You may have the story at home, be able to get it from the library or watch on youtube.  Please talk about the characters, settings and the order of the story to support your child’s vocabulary.

Thanks for your support

Dear Parent/Carers,

It is with great regret that we must inform you that Paula will be leaving our Nursery team next week.

Paula has been a very valued member of our team for 16 years. She has always put her heart and soul into the work she does with our children and families.

We have been busy looking at our staffing structure and can assure you that the high-quality provision will continue in Paula’s absence. We are undergoing a recruitment drive and will soon be welcoming new members to our Nursery team.

Planning will remain very tight with Mrs Curnow (Nursery Teacher) working hard with the team to ensure consistency and support.

I know you will join us in wishing Miss Pugh every success in her future.

Regards

Miss Cook
