This first half term will be about the children settling in and becoming familiar with the routines.  Simple activities will include,

-Showing the children around the different provision areas and indicating the different learning experiences that could take place. 

-Making sure that children know where to access different resources and put them away.

-Develop confidence in trying new activities and experiences.

 Welcome to all parents and children to Kirk Sandall Infant school Nursery.  We are really pleased with how the children have settled in and we are now beginning to get the children in to a familiar routine.

Please can you ensure that your child’s name is written on their clothes as jumpers and coats they can get easily mixed up.

Please check the parents notice board for notices and updates and we will also use the text messaging service.  We will be starting the weekly focus for colour, shape and number next week.

Thank you for your support
