Tapestry
In Nursery and Reception, we use an online learning tool called tapestry to record all of the exciting things that we do throughout the year. Parents are welcome to contribute to their child's learning journey and will be given a unique login to follow the progress of their child throughout their early years.
Library Books
Each child will be able to take home a library book once a week. Library books will be changed:
Ladybird and Caterpillar Group - Tuesdays
Butterfly and Caterpillar Group - Fridays
Full time children can change their book on either Tuesdays or Fridays
Weekend Buddies
Nursery have introduced 'weekend buddies'. Children are chosen each week to look after their weekend buddy at home and draw a picture in the diary. Parents are encouraged to write a short account of what their child did with their weekend buddy. Parents are welcome to add photos, but they need to be aware that the photos in the diary can be views by all parents of children taking the weekend buddy home.
Snack
The children are offered milk and fruit every day. On a wednesday the children will have something different for snack e.g. biscuit, jelly, toast, crackers, spaghetti, etc. We ask for a voluntary contribution of £2 every half term for part-time children and £4 every half term for full time children. The full amount will be loaded on to parent pay system at the begging of the academic year or is available to pay via the parent pay system at the start of each half term. This will also help towards baking activities with the children. Thank you for your support.
Newsletter
Nursery's half termly newsletter will be available to parents on SchoolPing. Parents are encouraged to complete the 'home challenges' each week with their child
Thank you for your support
