Nursery Newsletter January 2016 The staff at Rosebank Nursery would like to welcome back all children and parents, and hope everyone enjoyed the break. Thank you too for our Christmas presents - the chocolate and biscuits - they did not last long ! We are delighted to welcome Mrs Alison Barson to our nursery team. Mrs Barson has worked in Rosebank in the past so many will already know her. If there are any changes in circumstances, change of address, health issues please inform a member of staff. Could we remind everyone to name the children’s belongings as you can imagine all black gym shoes look the same and many are the same size ! As we are involved in lots of outside learning could children come dressed appropriately and please can you provide a change of clothes in case they need changed. Could we also remind parents that the car park is for members of staff only, we are concerned for the children’s safety. As we have our own Nursery entrance, with many adults and children using the narrow corridor, could we ask that buggies are not brought into the building as it causes congestion. Although we have just started our new term the children have shown interest in transport, vehicles and feelings. These interests will be developed through various curriculum areas including literacy, numeracy, health and wellbeing, technology, expressive arts. Instead of recycling your cardboard boxes could we ask you to bring in all sizes of cardboard boxes as the children would like to design and make various vehicles. All information to be sent home will be placed in the child’s pigeon hole. There will also be a copy of notices, letters and our learning plans on the notice board. Please feel free to approach a member of staff with any concerns, no matter is too small. All ideas regarding your child’s learning would be welcome. Our stay and play this month is on Tuesday 26th January. Parents and carers are welcome to come along an hour before your child’s session ends to join in with the activities or just to have a look around. Thank you Rosebank Nursery Team
