June Newsletter
CURRICULUM ACTIVITIES: Our learning topic this month is ‘People who help us’, this provides an opportunity for our children to explore and learn about various individuals who play helpful roles in our communities. There will be lots of exciting activities such as role playing in a hospital- learning how to bandage arms, what does an X-ray of a hand look like on our light box and so much more. Throughout nursery, children will do age-appropriate activities, to develop an understanding of people of the world, using the seven areas of the EYFS curriculum. You can find planned curriculum activities outside your child’s care room.
Support at Home:- To support your child’s nursery education at home, perhaps there is family or friends that you can talk about their job roles? Look online at what the role of a fire fighter does- chalk some flames on the floor and use a squirty bottle to put the flames out – which is great for hand eye co-ordination! What does a dentist do to help teeth keep healthy? A good activity to do would be using cheap toothpaste to clean their dolls/figurines teeth.
SHOW & TELL: - As our topic this month is people who help us, we would love to invite any parents into nursery whose job is within this topic – Do you work in health care? Or perhaps is a police officer? Can you bring anything for show and tell (P.S we love dressing up!) Please do speak to a member of staff in the Pre-school or Foundation room for more details.
GOODBYE & GOODLUCK: - to our wonderful staff member Leah from the foundation room. Leah has worked with us for 20 years and helped shape our nursery into what it is today. Leah’s next chapter has always been in a school so she can spend more time with her daughter. We are very proud of Leah and her achievements. Leah’s last day with us will be Friday 3rd July, although we are delighted that she will be returning for our Graduation Party!
HELLO & WELCOME:- To little Lebene who joins us in the Under-two’s room & to our new staff member Anna-Marie who join us in our Foundation room at the end of the month. Anna-Marie used to work with us 13 years ago but moved out of Huddersfield. We are delighted to see her back!
GOING TO FULL TIME SCHOOL:- Foundation stage staff have already started the process of the children’s transitions to big school, liaising with and inviting new teachers to come and meet your child here at nursery. We also provide schools with their record of attainment through the foundation stage curriculum, so they can carry on their progress working towards KS1. All our over three’s pre-school children will automatically transfer to our Foundation class room in September where visits have started to prepare them. For any children leaving us this year, we require four weeks’ notice in writing (please email to us- office@abcchildrensdaynursery.co.uk) to be able to transfer the funding to school and close any accounts.
GRADUATION DAY-SAVE THE DATE:- For all our Foundation Stage children, leaving to start full-time reception class at BIG SCHOOL in September, we will be hosting a graduation party on Friday 24th July…we’re delighted that parents will be welcome to see their child receive their graduation certificate!! Look out for your child’s party invite within the next few weeks.
