This week in Nursery...

This week we have been thinking about celebrations and special times for our family.

 We have been celebrating the birthday of our class toy, Cheeky Monkey.

We have been making birthday cakes with play dough and counting the candles for his special day.

We have been writing birthday cards and making special birthday numbers for him.

We had lots of fun playing Pass the Parcel and finding forfeits in each wrapper asking us to sing nursery rhymes and count.

We have been thinking of  the British Value - Everyone is special. We painted our portraits and thought really hard about how we look, whether our hair is long or short, straight or curly. We used paints and looked in the mirror to see what colours we needed for our eyes and skin. We though about how we are the same and different as our friends. Our portraits are amazing!

Thank you to all parents for bringing in the children's special books. We have been sharing them in class and with our friends. The photos have really opened up discussions about special times in our lives.

Next week we will be thinking about The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We had a fantastic taster of the story when Year 1 came down to perform the story to us.

 

We will also be thinking about Autumn for the next few weeks. We would really appreciate any conkers, acorns, leaves or pine cones to keep in our small world area if you and your child would like to go on an Autumn treasure hunt.



Welcome to Caterpillars!

Welcome to our Nursery!

We have really enjoyed meeting your children and are so excited to have such a lovely group of children. Your children have been so busy engaging in so many different activities and having lots of fun! Look at some of the things we've been up to!

 

 

 

Don't forget to bring in a pair of named wellies and a sunhat to keep at school, if you haven't already done so.

WOW!

We would also love to see your WOW moments - anything special, interesting or any learning moments that you have been up to at home. we have lots of sheets at school so please just ask if you need one.

We are looking forward to more fun and games next week!!

Pip pip cheerio!

What a very emotional morning!


We sat beautifully for our celebration and leavers' assembly, celebrating the achievements of children throughout the school and singing our thanks and "see you soons" to Mrs Taylor and Mrs Impey.


In Caterpillars, we read the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar, and we talked about how Caterpillar class came to us as tiny caterpillars, and have been learning every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and are now big and full of learning.


Enjoy your cocoon of a holiday, and when you come back, you will be beautiful butterflies!


Thank you so much to all the children for working so hard and being a very kind and caring class. Big thanks also to all the parents and carers who have always had words of support for us.


We are very overwhelmed by the generosity and thoughtfulness of all the gifts, cards and kind messages. Thank you so much.


Have a great break, and see you soon!


Love Miss Wakeling and Mrs Wright

Here comes the sun...

It doesnt seem possible, but here we are appraching the end of term!

We have been spending time in our new classrooms and talking about next year as well as thinking about what a great year we have had.

In Butterflies today we enjoyed our ice pops outside and talked about our year and freindships and made a friendship bracelet for a person in our class!

A few words from 'us grown-ups' in Butterflies...

It has been a pleasure to teach your children and we are so proud of them as we are sure you are.  They have grown up so much and done some fabulous learning. As a class it has been a so wonderful to see how they have made strong bonds of friendship that will no doubt last all their years at Sandridge.  We wish them a super summer holiday with lots of fun, laughter and smiles and wish them a great time in Year One.

Lastly a big thank you to the parents who helped us this year - volunteers, readers and those who helped with a whole vareiety of other jobs - we couldnt do it without you!

To all the parents we wish you a lovely break and would like to thank you for all your positive support this year.

Have fun!

Beaumont Books

Our trip to Beaumont School

The Year 8 children at Beaumont made us some gorgeous books. They asked us questions about what we like and enjoy doing so that they could use this information to make us personalised story books.

We visited the school and were presented with our books which the children read to us. We had a fabulous time and really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Year 8 Beaumont children!

Caterpillars Sports Day

Thank you so much to Abby Dixon for these beautiful photos of Caterpillars Sports Day.


And a HUGE well done to the children for excellent sportsmanship - it was a brilliant morning.
