What a half term! Children have truly enjoyed these weeks full of different opportunities to learn
new skills, deepening our understanding and consolidate friendships. Our theme this Spring 2 is
People Who Help Us.
A big thanks you to all mums and dads who took children in their first educational visit to the local
library. The children enjoyed walking from Nursery, pointing out where they live and what they
could see. It was fantastic to involve the parents and promote the importance of reading with your
child. Children got their first library card; everyone was very excited to be able to take books home
and were encouraged to join in all different activities Newham Libraries offer. Library staff
performed “Goldilocks and the 3 bears” and sang some of our favourite rhymes.

The children have learnt about the world around them and a range of jobs in the environment. Who
help us at home? Who helps you at school? Who help us in the community? Children engaged with
others in their play, showing an interest in different occupations and people who help them every
day. They explored doctors, dentists and vets. We read stories about different occupations and
enjoyed acting these out using the resources in Nursery. The children visited new environments
around school learning about people who work there; such as the chef in the kitchen, office staff in
the reception and the librarian in the library.

We celebrated World Book Day; children created their own Story Spuds. They use their imagination
to dress up a potato as their favourite character. Adults really struggled to choose a winner. All
spuds were fantastic!

Children are getting ready to celebrate Curwen International Family Week. Learn about different
countries around the world. Children are able to identify the colours of different flags, beginning to
learn about different habitats across the world. We said hello in different languages and made our
costumes with our families ready for carnival. During P.E , we have been practising our dance moves
ready for our big carnival. A very special applause to all children’s families who support children
helping to create our fantastic carnival costumes!!!
