Well that first half term went quickly! The Nursery children have been fantastic and have settled beautifully into their setting. We have been so proud of the bravery they have shown coming in on their own and organising themselves.
We have been learning new routines, rules have been established and it has been a pleasure watching friendships beginning to form and grow.
The children have been developing their gross motor skills outside with lots of climbing, running, rolling and riding bikes.
They have also been developing their fine motor skills through mark making, painting, building using duplo and wooden bricks.
All of this gross and fine motor development will be getting their muscles and their brains ready for writing.
Lunchtimes have been a hit and the children have been learning to speak clearly using sentences and remembering their manners when talking to each other.
We have also seen lots of imaginative play both inside and out, so much problems solving – particularly with our conker runs, operations taking place in the Westfield Hospital and lots of baking in the playdough area.
Nursery, well done on a fantastic first half term. Have a lovely break and we’ll see you after the holiday ready for lots more learning and fun.

What a great start to the new term! The children have all settled really well, particularly our new Reception and Nursery. There are still some spaces available if you know anyone. The children had an amazing time learning about space in the Wonderdome and the Halloween Party was a runaway success! I can’t wait to see what next half term brings!

Reception had an amazing time in PE. The children loved exploring the apparatus, climbing, balancing, and jumping with confidence. It was wonderful to see their excitement as they developed strength, coordination, and a sense of adventure.
