Hello and welcome to all Nursery pupils and parents!/ Helo a chroeso i ddysgyblion a rhieni Meithrin!

Hello and welcome to a brand new school term!  It has been so lovely to see all our pupils return this week and welcome our new little ones into their first term at our Nursery. As always we aim to make the transition into school as smooth as possible so please do contact us if you have any questions. Below you will find lots of valuable information about our routines at Nursery.

 From Miss Christopher, Mrs Morgan and Miss Dennington

Timings

Nursery begins at 8:55am, parents please walk your child through the Nursery Gate and up to the Nursery entrance. Gates will open at 8:45am each morning. Pick up is at 11:25am, parents please wait outside the Nursery Gates and your child will be carefully dismissed to you. 

Snack

We will have a designated snack time in Nursery every day. Children will have the opportunity to help chop and prepare healthy fruits and vegetables, as well as milk bottles to serve to their peers. Snack costs £1 a week. Snack for the first half of the Autumn Term is £7, please pay cash to one of the Nursery Team members 

Clothing

Nursery gets messy, please send your child to school in suitable clothing that is fine to get dirty and messy! Best to pack a change of spare clothes in your child's backpack in case they get wet or messy. Please ensure your child is wearing suitable outdoor clothing for all types of weather; wellies, waterproof coats, hats, mittens etc. 

Rhythm of the Year

During the Autumn Term we will be learning about all the autumnal changes that happen from September to December. Children will have the opportunity to harvest vegetables from our planters as well as plant winter bulbs.

Plan Do Review

In Nursery we following the Plan Do Review approach. Children will have the chance to share their plan on what they would like to to make, create or build. Children will then follow their plan with the support of the Nursery Team and afterwards engage in a  discussion about how it went. 

We are learning Welsh!/ Rydym ni'n dysgu Cymraeg!

Here are some things to remember

• We will be spending as much time outside as possible, so please can you ensure your child comes to school with appropriate warm/ rainproof clothing and wellies in a labelled bag. As we head into the Autumn and Winter months it is vitally important that children have  appropraite clothing in Nursery. Please see staff about further information regarding this.
• We post lots of updates and pictures on our Instagram, page so follow us on @stacey.primary.school to have a little taster of our fun filled, busy days!
• We post daily updates of all our wonderful children's skills, achievements and experiences on Seesaw. Log in by downloading the free Seesaw app and please feel comment on your child's posts :)
• As already said, we spend lots of time outside. Our children love to explore our mud kitchen and water areas especially so please keep best clothes at home and send your child into school in clothes that can get wet/ dirty etc. Please ensure your child has spare clothes.

In Nursery we love to sing and dance, especially to songs in Welsh. This helps us to learn new Welsh vocabulary and simple sentences. Below is the song we will be learning during the Autumn Term- Enjoy/ Mwynhewch!

Below are some tools to support your children in their further learning. 

Thank you for your continued support.
