Nursery News
December 2013 Thank you
Welcome to the first edition of our Nursery/ Parent, Baby & Toddler Newsletter At the end of every half term, you will now receive the Nursery/ Parent, Baby & Toddler newsletter rather than the Fieldgate newsletter. We hope you will enjoy the variety! If you have any suggestions you wish to share, please let us know.
Thank you to the Pre-Prep PTA for our lovely new benches and planters.
Forest School The children have really loved our new Forest School sessions on a Wednesday. We have explored the park and looked at Autumn leaves.
Puppet Show Following on from the children’s interest in the natural world, we explored the Stick Man story using puppets. The children have loved giving impromptu performances of the story with some interesting variations.
Pet Visit
Ballet Show Spectacular!
There is never a dull moment in the nursery and the children were very excited to meet Prudence Tattersall, a little pug!
We were very proud of the dance group who performed in front of a large audience for their show. We also enjoyed watching the diverse dances performed by the older children at Pre-Prep.

Pre-Prep & Nursery Nativity — Away In A Manger
Once there was a mule called Maurice. He did not like anyone using his special manger.
A bird tried to build her nest in it.
When Maurice woke up he was surprised to find a baby in his manger.
A hen tried to lay an egg in it.
And a spider tried to spin a web in it. Maurice was not very happy at all.
The kings told Maurice that the baby was Jesus, the Son of God. Maurice realised that having a baby in his manger was the most amazing thing to ever happened to him.
We would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year.
