Head of Schools Message 

Thank you for your understanding and patience while we resolved the recent boiler issues. We’re happy now that everything is now back up and running smoothly. Even with the disruption this week has been full of exciting activities for the children. Some children ventured on a wonderful trip to the market which brought their story of the week to life, "Baby goes to Market'. Today we had Electric Umbrella visit the Nursery, which was an incredible experience filled with music, creativity and lots of smiles! All the children love this session! Have a great weekend and see you next week.

PANTOSAURUS

In Nursery School, we have been looking at the PANTS rule and exploring the Pantosaurus book from the NSPCC. This book supports simple but valuable conversations with children that can help keep them safe. Developed with children, parents, carers and teachers, Talk PANTS helps children understand that their body belongs to them, and they should tell a safe adult they trust if anything makes them feel upset or worried.

 

More information for how you can support this learning with your child at home can be found here:                           https://www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/support-for-parents/pants-underwear-rule/
