Hello boys and girls,

I hope everyone is well and safe. We are missing you lots and even more so when I went into Nursery this week. It felt very quiet and still. It was nice to see all your photos and work around the room however. The Nursery building has had a deep clean ready for whenever it is safe for us to open. I am in school on Monday and Tuesday this week if anyone needs a chat 01772 556092. Alternatively I continue to be available on EMNursery@englishmartyrs.lancs.sch.uk during school hours. Please let me know if you need anything. 

Stay Safe, 

Mrs Thomas 

Father's Day! 

Father's Day is approaching on Sunday so I thought it would be nice to reflect upon our Daddies, what they do for us and why we love them. 

 

Can you 'have a go' at drawing a picture of your Daddy and you, or even your whole family? Maybe you could make your Daddy an extra special Father's Day card drawn by you. If we were in Nursery we would have had a discussion about why we love our Daddies. Answering 'why' questions can be tricky so having some thinking time before answering is important. 

 

Our sentence starter would be "I love my Daddy because...."

Can you finish the sentence? It could be because he reads you bedtime stories, cooks tasty dinners, gives you hugs or plays games with you. Or maybe it's something completely different! 

Getting yourself dressed!

Thinking about being 'school ready' it is very important that we can independently dress ourselves from start to finish. I know being at home it is easy to have 'PJ' days and as parents we think we are helping by doing it for them. However, when your child starts Reception they need to be able to dress and change themselves for PE. So now is the perfect opportunity to get this life-long skill perfected! This week really focus on getting dressed and undressed independently. T-shirts over heads, socks on correctly, shoes done up and coats zipped on our own can be most difficult. I wonder who can meet this challenge?
