Melbourn Out Of School club has been incredibly busy during the first half term back. We have had some new children to our setting and are pleased to say all have settled in really well. The new space we gained at the beginning of this term has had an exceptional impact on MOOS. Following on from the huge success we had with our 2-week summer holiday club we are really pleased to say that we plan to cover most of the half term holidays. The exception to this will be the Christmas break. We are also planning to cover the first two weeks of the summer next year (2015). Our holiday club as with our Out of School Club setting aims to be a freely chosen, self - directed environment. We aim to ensure we have as much input regarding the running of the setting from the children who attend. If you think this may be of interest to you please do contact a member of the MOOS team on 01763 223459 Yvette Griffiths – MOOS Manager.
Little Hands Nursery School The bigger hands at Little Hands, Melbourn have spent a very busy summer preparing for the new term, ensuring our little hands enjoy bundles of fun in every session. Plans for the refurbishment of the room adjacent to the Butterfly room are well under way. This additional area will give our younger children more space in which to roam and explore. Our recent room for the under two’s has proved enormously popular with our parents and spaces are being snapped up fast. As our intake is rapidly increasing and our nursery grows, there will be the opportunity to welcome more staff into our team, ensuring we can welcome many more little friends into our Nursery. The September term is an exceptionally busy time as we welcome new children into our Nursery, this offers great opportunities to make more friends and create even more fun. Recently, our children got to grips with harvest. We learnt all about the crops and explored our favourite fruit and vegetables. It appears we have a healthy bunch of children at Little Hands who enjoy their vegetables…no wonder the rooms are always buzzing with energy. We enjoyed harvesting our very own apples from the tree in the garden. The fun didn’t stop there…our small but very talented chefs cooked up a delicious treat APPLE CRUMBLE! We filled our tummies with this at snack time, yummy! The apple crumble definitely tickled our taste buds and left us wanting to cook some more scrumptious treats. There’s no better excuse for doing this than a cooking week to carry on our Harvest Festival theme. We made our own bread rolls and it was lovely to see some of our friends enjoying their roll the next day for lunch. We have some very talented fingers at Little Hands, these fingers created cupcakes, jam tarts, flapjack and even home made pizza.
