Welcome back to Blackberry House Day Nursery Newsletter! In our monthly issues we will be letting you know of the achievements and beautiful learning opportunities that children engaged in that month from across our four settings. We will also be providing you with two articles that will keep you informed within the sector and might even provide some helpful information! In this month’s issue we have covered How to Support Your Child Starting Nursery, and the dangers of the W-Sitting Position. You will also find an easy printable activity to do with your child!

This month the children have been busy exploring our Autumn topic of Marvellous Me. This has been an exciting opportunity to get to know our children and their families as they have settled further into the term with us.

During the month of August, the children have been busy in the nature garden looking at the story The Tiny Seed. The children have then planted their own seeds in the garden and have been watching their sunflowers and tomatoes grow.

The children have had a fantastic month exploring a variety of educational learning opportunities based on their individual interests. The children have been enjoying the varied weather and exploring the outdoor environments through a range of activities which has led to some amazing outdoor learning opportunities. There have been lots of spider and bug hunts around the garden, which has then led to spider sensory trays and looking at the shapes in the environment around them.

This month the children have had a fantastic time with their learning opportunities provided through their current interests. Lots of time has been spent outside enjoying the varied weather from basking in the sun to splashing in the puddles.

The children have enjoyed a fun-packed month this month enjoying a range of activities through their own interest and curiosity. During the month of May, we have celebrated the King’s Coronation, World Environment Day, Ocean’s Day, Make Music Day, and plenty of Out and About trips to our wider communities.
