What an exciting week!

Wow! what an exciting time we had in nursery last week! On Tuesday we had our first group afternoon and had lots of fun exploring new places! I wonder if anyone can remember which group they're in? Mrs Way's class are lions, monkeys and giraffes and Mrs Mertens' class are rabbits, hedgehogs and squirrels.

This week we will be celebrating Chinese New Year (3rd- 5th February). Mrs Way & Mrs Mertens have been planning lots of exciting things to explore and make! Mrs Way is planning a food tasting session and hopes everyone will try some Chinese food - otherwise Mrs Way, Mrs Thomas and Miss Bunt will have to eat it all! We will also be creating a Dragon Dance outside using some beautiful Chinese fabric.

Just a quick reminder - we have wet weather outfits for all the children but could your child please have a pair of wellies in school  (you're welcome to take them home on the weekend) as we're spending more time outdoors - regardless of the weather! also if you have any old wellies we'll gratefully take them off your hands to have as spares.

And we can't forget to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mrs Watkins for Tuesday!

See you tomorrow!

Mrs Way & Mrs Mertens

(we work in groups on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday afternoons. It allows the children to mix together and spend time in our different areas. 1 group - outside, 3 groups - Mrs Mertens' building and 2 groups-Mrs Way's building. we work on a 2 week timetable so all groups experience each area )

Happy 2011!

Hi everyone!

As you've probably heard by now Mrs Street has had a lovely baby boy! we've sent lots of cuddles for baby Lewis and hopefully he'll pop in to visit us when hes a little older.

We have a couple of new faces in nursery this term. Everyone has been very kind and friendly and help our new boys and girls settle in. Mrs Way would also like to say a big thank you to all the boys and girls in her class (and the parents) for making her feel very welcome in her first couple of weeks.

 The children have been busy telling us what Santa brought them - we have lots of good children in Maesybryn! our topic this term is 'Toys & Teddies' so we'll be having lots of fun talking about our favourite toys.

As always if you have any questions or problems, please feel free to pop in after school to speak to us.

Welcome to Nursery

Hi to all new parents and children,

I would like to welcome you all to the Nusery class. Myself and Mrs Mertens have been so proud of all the children and how they have settled in. This term our theme is All About Me and we are learning lots about ourselves and family. Please don't forget to bring in your baby photos the week of the 4th of September and a reminder that PE starts next week with Mrs Street's class on a Thursday and Mr's Mertens class on a Friday. So children to come dressed in their PE kit that day. Please don't forget your wellingtons aswell so children can explore the outdoors in this rainy weather.

Looking forward to the coming year and getting to know all the children. Please don't hesitate to come and speak to myself or Mrs Mertens if needed.  Keep posted to the blog for updated information.

Thanking you,
Mrs Street and Mrs Mertens.

A Fun Day

Bore Da

Hi All,
I would like to thank all the children in the nursery for trying so hard last week in African week . They really enjoyed it and the proof was seen in the work they producded and was displayed on Thursday night. Thank you to all the parents who supported the school on Thursday evening.

I hope you are enjoying the sun on this lovely bank holiday. I hope you are all out and about and exploring the outside. We will be carrying out alot of activities outside this term to see what we can find. We have already been busy planting vegetables in our vegetable patch in the garden. A big thanks to Mrs Richards who worked hard in getting the garden ready. Lets hope Mr Hole is watering our little patch over this long weekend.
Maybe if you are out in your gardens today why not explore and see what you can see. Is there any little bugs? What does it look like? Maybe take a photo and bring it in to show us.

A very big congratulations to Holly Price from my class and Holly Smith from Mrs Mertens who won Star of the Week this week. Well done girls.

Enjoy your bank holiday and see you all tomorrow.
Mrs Street and Mrs Maertens.

Hello again

Hi everyone,

So sorry I have not been on the blog for a long time. This term is flying by and we have been so busy in Nursey. In my class we enjoyed our Teddy bear's picnic and Teddy has been on lots of adventures with the children this term. He was very excited to been taken around the school to see what he could find on a nature walk. Teddy has enjoyed it so much playing with the children that he would like to join each child at their home for tea and a sleep over. He has his suitcase packed and he is ready to go. When teddy goes to visit your house can you take a photo of him and tell us all about his visit

It was lovely to meet all the parents this week and it was a delight to know that all your children are happy in Nursery.

We will end the week with a nice trip to Techniquest. I cant wait for that.

Mrs Street
