Another busy week at nursery. We have embraced to changing weather and conditions by exploring Autumn. We have looked the trees and noticed their losing their leaves and also that the leaves are now different colours. We even went on a discovery Autumn scavenger hunt in the environmental garden in school. We found all sorts of interesting things.
Number
We have been practising our pencil hold by writing Number one, here’s the rhyme
1- One line down like a stick makes a 1, that was quick!
If you fancy why not have a go at writing 0! That’s a challenge!
0 - Round in a loop, like an empty hoop
Next week we will be moving on to Number 2. One discovers it’s tricky to play tennis when you are the only block in the world. She bumps into Another One - and they join forces to make Two. Why not get ahead of the game and meet ‘Another One’ Click here.
Good luck everyone!
Harvest
Our Harvest celebration will be on Thursday 12th September. We have been invited to join with Foundation and KS1 class worship. This year we are asking for donations of tinned beans as nursery’s contribution to this years chosen charity; Fylde Foodbank. Fylde Foodbank is a charity which fulfils the aim of providing food to people and families in crisis. Please give them your support.
As in previous years nursery will be doing the Harvest Samba song and dance (along with other class choices). Click here to have a go at home!
There will be a box outside nursery from next week to collect your donations. As always thank you.
Admissions
Some of our families have mentioned that they are struggling to find the school admission form on the website. It is located on the main school page. If you scroll down you will find a selection of buttons including the Admissions button.
If you click on the button below I have put the correct form to complete. I would advise that you still visit the school website as there will be additional information for you.

Hello everyone,
What a wonderful fun packed week we have had.
On Fridays we take a little walk across the playground and school field to the Chapel. We take our feelings jars and our reflection candle to help us say a prayer and talk about who we would like to pray for. We try to learn a new song about God or Jesus each week! The children really enjoy their visits to the Chapel.
As the season is changing, it’s that time of year for putting away our summer clothes and bringing out our thick coats, hats, scarfs and gloves. It would be really helpful if you could have your child's name on the items which are likely to be removed (and lost) but also it helps the children to recognise their name. Thank you.
We have also been practicing putting on our own coats, by laying the open coat flat on the floor with the hood facing their feet, the children put their hands in the arms of the coat then they flip it over their heads. It's a bit tricky but we are practicing and improving. Doing this will help the children become even more independent. Shoes next!!.
Something exciting has happened in nursery. We have an Autumn table full of all colours with leaves, conkers, acorns and also there may be a squirrel and a hedgehog (not real) hiding in there too. We have been making some Autumn pictures for our wall display using Autumn coloured paints and different autumn coloured collage bits and bobs to decoration. If you are out and about on a walk or in the park this weekend, see if you see any different coloured Autumn leaves and bring them in to add to our table. I've also printed out an autumn hunt checklist for when you are out and about. It would be lovely to see what you have found in your area.
The children have been having so much fun learning some new songs by Spud and Yam. Their songs are packed with lively Celtic and Caribbean rhythms, rhythm and songs. The children’s favourite song is all about the Bogey Man! But if your child sings it to you, you might be scared BOO!
Have a lovely weekend and see you all on Monday.

Hello everyone
We have had another fantastic week of brain growing.
We have had lots of fun with Mr. Nay during our PE which we managed to do outside. This week we had to listen carefully to his instructions as we moved around the playground in different ways.
We have also continued to explore Numberblock number one, learning to recognise him and when he is hidden amongst numerals. We have also been learning how to use the interactive white board to work out our number problems.
We have also been learning more about our bodies and what keeps us healthy, sorting food into healthy and unhealthy categories. It was ne of our friend’s birthdays this week ad we helped them to celebrate by sharing chocolate cake which was ok because we have lots of healthy fruit and milk, so a little treat is ok.
As the weather turns a little cooler we have been discovering all about Autumn as we went for an Autumn Hunt. We found lots of clues that tell us Autumn is now here. An Autumn Hunt is a fun activity to do this weekend if we get a nice day. You can always send in any finds for our Autumn Investigation table.
We have been trying really hard to put our coats on by ourselves and have been using this fantastic trick. Click here
Being independent and doing things for ourselves gives us a confidence boost and helps us to learn more. If we think we can then we can!
Have a lovely weekend everyone,
Michelle
Worship
In this weeks session we explored the movements our bodies can make by taking part in a story where Freddy Teddy and Mollie the Cat take a morning walk. It helped us to realise how wonderful our unique, God-given bodies are.

Storytime
This week we had the BIG story telling puppets out to help us retell the story of the Three Little Pigs…what fun we had. There were some really scary wolves! Click here to listen to the story of the Three Little Pigs at home. Perhaps you could act it out at home!
Lastly, I hope you all manage to get five minutes rest and quiet this weekend to recharge your batteries for what will inevitably be another busy week next week. Stay safe.
God Bless
Barbara
