Welcome back to all our nursery children!
The children have come back intro nursery fully refreshed and in high spirits. In nursery this week we have been exploring our new project book- Walking through the jungle.
The Children have been making binoculars to use in our safari Jeep to hunt out all the different animals.
We are very much looking forward to next week as we have a few reptile visitors for the children to learn about and hold!
In Early Years we look at how children develop skills to be good learners. These are the characteristics of effective learning.
We have had a few requests for the words to some songs we sing. Here are some links for you to have a look at:

In nursery we use a behaviour chart that mirrors the rest of the school but we make it a lot more visual for the children to understand. The children move up and down the chart quickly as we want to reinforce what expected behaviour is in a positive way.
Every day the children start on the sunshine. They are then either moved up to the rainbow or to the highest point, the star for behaviour such as kind hands, listening to instruction, good learning.
The children can also be moved down to our thinking cloud which is for time to think about what they did or the rain cloud when the behaviour continues. Behaviour such as: Not listening to instruction, hurting their friends, not using the nursery equipment safely and respectfully.
Below is a photo of the chart so you are familiar with the language that we use and you may find that your children have already started telling you they are on the rainbow or star!
It would be wonderful if we can all work together and use the same language. I hope this helps with the understanding of what procedures we use for behaviour in nursery.

We would all like to say a huge well done to all the children that have joined nursery
over the last week. It has been a pleasure getting to know all the children and their
family members. The children have settled extremely well and are making good
friendships with all of us.
We are all very excited about meeting the rest of our children who will be joining this
week!
