Preparing for Santa's visit


The morning children had a lovely time this Thursday taking some of our Christmas craft up to the conservatory. The children decorated the conservatory with Angels and baubles that they had created at nursery. The conservatory will be open for Corporation Park's Santa Visit on the 14th December (see newsletter) for you to view the children's creations. Ayaan, Azeem and Maryam S had their photo taken for the Lancashire Evening Telegraph. A group of 3 and 4 year olds then went down to the main park entrance to watch Sacred Heart school children singing their Christmas songs.

Mowgli's Adventures

Last weekend Mowgli went to Anisha's house, they had breakfast together and Anisha did Mowgli's hair. One evening they had a lovely meal in Kebbabish. Mowgli had a drive in Anisha's bright pink car and had a trip into town on the train. Mowgli met Anisha's pet fish and had lots of fun, thank you Anisha.

Sacred Heart visit

The children visited Sacred Heart School for their Open Day, the children looked around the school and watched the Steel drums being played, they sat and had a drink and a snack. This was carried out to promote good transition for children when they go to school. They children had a lovely walk up to the School and enjoyed seeing the children, some of whom they are related to or friends with. Thank You to all the Mummies who helped us over the day.

Fun Fruit Week

Next week the children will be sampling different fruits over the week, we will be talking about the fruits they like and don't like, naming fruits for children and talking about fruits that they enjoy eating at home with their families, we will also be exploring the story Handa's Surprise.

Handa is a little girl who decides to visit her friend Akeyo, and bring her a basket of delicious fruit. As she walks along the dusty road, she wonders which fruit will be Akeyo’s favourite. On her way, some cheeky animals spy fruit in the basket and find different ways to take it! There’s a lovely surprise at the end that will delight children for many years. The story has appeal for younger children as they watch the way the animals find their favorite fruit. Older children enjoy the expressive language such as the sweet smelling guava and the creamy green avocado and the surprise ending!

Smile 4 Life

The nursery children had a visit from Pluto this week, he came to talk to the children about how important it is to look after your teeth. Pluto encouraged the children to clean his teeth and feed him tooth friendly snacks, fruit and vegetables. Here are some photos of the children enjoying their visit from Pluto.
