Winter Wonderland

Dear Parents/Carers,

It was so lovely to actually get out in our Winter Wonderland today.

As you can see, I was having a marvellous time too with Alan the Christmas bear!

The children just love someone from their family coming to school, so they can show off what they do and the environments they have.

The weather has been a real challenge, but in true Newdale style, we have not been defeated! If your child’s event was postponed due to the vile weather, you will now know of the rescheduled date and time.

If the weather deteriorates again, we will move to our hall plan b.

Just a reminder about footwear. Basecamp is rather muddy/slippery and hence sturdy shoes or wellies are recommended!

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

E-Safety Top Tips – Video Streaming Apps and Sites

Are you aware of how much TV your child is watching and what they are watching?

Now that it gets darker outside earlier, everyone is spending more time indoors and watching a bit more TV.  However it is vital that you monitor what your child is watching, especially when they have access to streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime.  Did you know that you can restrict the amount of time your child spends on Netflix and the programmes they have access to.

For more information please see the parent guides below.

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!

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.

Farm on wheels visit

Yesterday we were very lucky to have Stella with her farm on wheels come visit nursery. The children was very excited about seeing them and each got a turn in stroking them and asking questions.
