‘What’s In The Box?’ Next week beginning Monday 29th June the letter sounds will be r,s and t. Children are encouraged to bring in an object for the box which begins with the letter of the week, and they can bring in a different object each day they come, if they wish! It is an introduction to phonics, so if the object begins with the sound the letter makes (eg, ‘a’ for ‘apple’), rather than the name of the letter (eg, ‘A’ sounds like the start of the word ‘apricot’), that really helps!

We would just like to take a minute to appreciate our amazing parents for how wonderful they have been this week! We have been doing our absolute best to keep the nursery cool and calm during the heatwave and we have been greatly helped by donations of ice cream yesterday, and rocket lollies today for snack, 4 huge bags of ice cubes to add to our water play activities, very posh Italian orange drinks for the staff team, the loan of a large fan, and the loan of an air conditioning unit. We are so grateful!!🌈☀️🙏
