Welcome to nursery everyone!
It has been such a lovely week, God even sent us the sunshine to enjoy. The children have enjoyed their first week even though there may have been a few wobbles.
Everyone has explored both the indoor and outdoor learning environments and we are trying very hard to remember where everything lives and the routines of the day. There is sooo much to think about.
Each week I will be writing a blog to let you know what we have been learning at nursery along with any key information you will need to know. Also, your childs key person will be posting images along with details of the weeks learning, and maybe some activities for you to try at home.
I have some housekeeping information for you:
When bringing and collecting your child could you pleas wait at the main gate and a staff member will come to greet you. We are endeavouring to make the children as independent as possible in readiness for school. On that note School Admissions for September 2024 is now open online www.lancashire.gov.uk/schools or call 01524 581148. The closing date is the 15th January 2024.
Could each child please bring one piece of fruit or veg for each session that they attend (two for a full day). We are encouraging the children to eat fresh fruit or vegetables as part of our healthy eating commitment. Please no sugary snacks, such as cereal bars etc.
We are getting in muddle with belongings. Could you please make sure that anything that comes into nursery is clearly labelled.
Each child will require an Our Lady’s book bag. Our entrance is no big enough to house large back packs and they are causing a tripping hazard. Bags can be purchase for Top Marque on Park Road St. Annes.
Sorry to nag…..
This week the children have LOVED singing the Little Rabbit Foo story. I promised them that I would put it on the blog for you to listen to at home. Click here to watch and listen. Enjoy!!!!

Hello everyone,
What a fantastic first week we have had. It has been lovely to hear what you have been up to over the summer break and getting to know our new children.
We have been very busy in the garden playing in the water, cooling down whilst having lots of fun.
The children have really loved digging for the potatoes that have grown over the summer, and we found lots of different sizes. The children were so proud.
The children have also loved exploring the sand and were digging and creating roads, tunnels, and mud pies, which I was told I must REALLY eat! You can imagine I really enjoyed that!
We have started talking about our feelings, looking at the Colour Monster book. Click here to listen. We used the colours from the story to choose a coloured pom pom to show how we were feeling.
There were lots of loving and happy feelings going into our jar, which was great to see. I have attached a feelings song for you to watch, I hope you enjoy it.
I am looking forward to our next week of fun, and fingers crossed that the sun will still be shining.
Have a super weekend, and enjoy the kite festival if you are planning to go.
Take care
Emma
