January 2009 News

Posted by bringingupbaby under: Brentford; events .

Welcome to 2009. We hope you all had a well earned rest and are ready to face the New Year with as much enthusiasm as the children.

The nursery curriculum planning for this month will include the topic of learning the various colours of the rainbow. We would also like to introduce WEDNESDAY COLOUR DAY.

On this day the children and staff will wear particular colour to enable the children to learn new colours. Please check the Parents Notice Board for the colour of the week.

During January both nursery and pre-school will be celebrating Chinese New Year, learning animals of the Chinese New Year calendar, counting, and making animals, dragon lanterns ect.

If parents have any Chinese items for our show and tell or interest table we would be grateful if you can bring them in as this would help develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of the world.

Pre-school will also be very busy in January. Our planned topics will include “What I did during my holiday”, my family, letters shapes, numbers, colours, Chinese New Year hot and cold and weather climate in different countries.

Any pictures from holidays, family abroad and postcards would be helpful for this subject.

Can we please remind parents to bring in a set of hat, gloves and scarf for the children to keep in the nursery for outdoor playtimes.
