It's time to play



We have really enjoyed keeping in touch with our families over the phone and with emails during lock-down. As time has gone on we asked parents if they could ask their children what they have liked or disliked about lock-down. Some of the boys and lasses drew pictures to share their ideas. 

A lot of you have said you miss coming to Nursery, and we miss seeing you all too. 
Lots of boys, girls, and mums and dads have said they have enjoyed being able to spend more time together. We can see that you are having fun spending time with your families, and are so busy with lots of different activities.


Name activity
We have really liked seeing and hearing about how the children are getting on with their weekly activities. A few groups have been looking for things at home that begin with the letters from their names. Well done everyone who has done this as there are some tricky letters to find.


It's even more tricky looking for letters outside because things don't stay in one place. Can you spot what letter this person found?

Fun Outdoors

We have been really lucky to have lots of bonnie weather since Nursery closed. You have certainly been making the most of it and have been spending lots of time outside. Just like the indoors photos we can see so much learning going on. It might be 'just playing' to the children but they are learning so much from siblings and parents. Nature A farmers work is never done. How many sheep can you see? Hold on tight Searching for tadpoles Out and about Donating birthday party eggs to the hardworking ambulance workers. Well done Harvey Counting and recording how many things we see on our walks It's good to be able to see Nursery when we are on our bikes What can you find on the beach?

Rain, Rain, come back another day

There's no such thing as bad weather - only the wrong clothes. But here at Papdale we are prepared for all weathers! We had lots of fun going on puddle hunts after the rain The Secret Garden We are learning to keep safe in the garden - we talk about fire safety, what plants are safe to touch, and we are risk assessing our play as we climb. And we are always on the lookout for bugs and "mystery creatures".  Staying safe near the fire " You can't go past the line or you will get burnt" Snack in the Secret Garden Out and about Before we go on walks we talk about the rules which keep us safe. We know grown ups help us stay safe We have been noticing signs of Autumn - leaves changing colour and falling from the trees, and berries on the trees  We have been planting more of our new planters Making a wormery- following the children's interest in bugs Obstacle courses Hide and seek We were excited to talk to the workmen to see what they were doing Worm spotting ...

      *Reminder- We close today Friday 11th October. Nursery opens again on Wednesday 30th October*   If your child attends on a Thursday they can dress up for Halloween on the 31st if they would like to. We hope you don't scare us too much!!   On the buses A small group of children went for a very exciting trip this week. They walked down to the Town Hall before catching the bus back to Nursery. They had to check timetables, wait for the bus, and everyone had to give the driver money before they could get their tickets. The bus went around the town before arriving at KGS, where the children got off.       The Secret Garden On our visit to the Secret Garden last week we spoke to the children about the fire-pit and what we had to do to stay safe if we light it. We went up on Tuesday to light the fire. We had a safety talk first, and Miss Williams made a line of flour around the area that we c...
