Holly Mount

The afternoon children visited our elderly friends at Holy Mount. The children made Easter Nest cakes for our friends and took them down. They were invited to join in with Easter craft activities and had lots of fun making new friends. They enjoyed our visit so much they have invited us back to visit them before the Summer Break.

What shall we do this weekend.............

At St Marys @ The Park we value the contribution parents make to their children's Learning Journals. We are inviting parents to send us their weekend photos to add to their Journal. If you would like to send us any photos with a brief explanation of what is happening then you can email them to a.halstead@stmarysblackburn.ac.uk Key Workers will talk to the children about their photos during group time and add them to their Learning Journals, this will help to build a lovely keepsake which the children will bring home when they go to school.

World Book Day Fun

 

Thank you to everyone who dressed up for World Book Day. The children enjoyed a day of reading looking at a special collection of on line stories on the World Book Day website. At St Marys @ The Park we are passionate about books. Children have access to them on a continuous basis and we use rhymes, books on C.D.s and puppets to help promote children's interest and enjoyment of books. We will also be using books to support our activities for the Summer Term. We will be exploring growth and new life, looking at planting and life cycles, using The Hungry Caterpillar as a starting point. To help support and extend your child's learning at home you could visit your local library and borrow or read The Hungry Caterpillar and talk about the story with your child.
