Please ensure there is a hat and suncream to keep in school/ bring each day in book bags. These don’t need to be red, just fit for purpose! Although encouraging independence, the adults may need to assist with applying suncream to ensure even and proper coverage. If you wish for this NOT to happen, then email nminshall@moorfieldschool.co.uk

Miss Baxter will be the teacher at the end of the week. She will be in Nursery 3 Thursday and Friday (but will also be in Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday elsewhere in EYFS). Her email address is kbaxter@moorfieldschool.co.uk

Please can we emphasise the importance of labelling snack, even loose pieces of fruit. It can get a little confusing at snack time. We always try and check the snack in a morning, as we work alongside the children to complete the morning routine and label them when we can but at times it can get missed.

We also no longer have fruit in nursery, as every year group now bring their own. This means it is harder for us to provide a back up if snack if snack is forgotten or there has been a mix up.

Thank you for your understanding ☺️

# data[].attributes.body
Please contact us by telepohine or email (if emailing, please include the office as well) to let us know if your child will be off due to illness and what that illness may be. Just a reminder that sickness and diarrhoea require 48 hours from last bought of illness.

If you have any term time holidays planned, please email Mrs Brown and Miss Baxter with the dates in advance.

# data[].attributes.body
All children should bring a snack with them for the morning. It can be any fruit or vegetables suitable for a nursery snack, in their purest form (not smoothies, dreid fruit, fruit yoyo's). (Please can we ask that Kiwi is not brought for snack, due to allergies. Thank you for your understanding!) Can we also ask that the snack is already prepared and ready to eat, for example, oranges be pre-peeled, unless your child can peel them already. Grapes and large blueberries must be cut in half.

We also ask that you provide a water bottle filled with only water. As with everything else, (which I'm sure is imprinted now) snack boxes and water bottles need to be named, as well as loose fruit.

Please also be mindful when bringing in party treats, show and tell, baking from home, holiday treats, junk modelling, that we have a variety of life threatening intolerances and allergies in school, so please don't bring in the following without speaking to us beforehand so that we can make arrangements to make it safe:

Dairy/milk

Eggs

Soya

All nuts & Peanuts (We are a nut free school, which also applies for packed lunches for trips and holiday club)

Sesame

Chickpea

Lentils

Beans

Gram flour

Kiwi fruit

We ask that children bring in named sunhats, as well as a bottle of named sunscreen when the weather is lovely and sunny. We also ask that sunscreen is applied to the child before they come to nursery and we will help reapply at lunchtime if needed.

Just a reminder about what activities happen on which days.

Monday - Bushcraft. Bushcraft will be in the afternoon. Children will need a suit and wellies and dependent on the weather hat and gloves etc.

Tuesday - Music. Music is with Mrs Crebbin in the morning.

Wednesday - Walkabout Wednesdays, exploring the local area, dependent on weather and numbers.

Thursday - Music and Sport. Music is with Mrs Crebbin in the morning. Sports with Mr Snook in the afternoon. It may be best the children wear trainers on this day. It will be on the pitch or in the hall dependent on weather.

Friday - Growing Wild. Growing Wild is in the afternoon. This is a time when all the Early Years get together for an activity, mainly based outside. These activities are usually based in the bushcraft area but can also be offsite.

Holiday club is run by our very own Mrs Driver and is available most holidays. It is open from 8am, then closing at 4pm prompt. Please email Mrs Driver direct (tdriver@moorfieldschool.co.uk) to book your holiday club days as soon as possible, either before the holidays or if you know in advance. Holiday club requires you to bring your own packed lunch, morning snack and water bottle. It is also non-uniform. We would suggest some spare clothes bringing too.

Summer holiday club: Monday 13th July - Friday 21st August

Emails will be sent for all activities happening at school, which will have more information/permission slips. Please ensure you reply to anything needed.

When at home, it would be great if you could offer opportunities for the children to practice being as independent as possible. This may range from, getting themselves dressed in a morning, putting their socks and shoes on independently or helping with day to day tasks (we already know some fabulous sweepers and tidier-uppers from this class)

# data[].attributes.body
You will still receive observations of your child in Nursery 3. The number of observations you receive may differ depending on what the day entails. Our priority is to teach the children and be in the moment with them.

Observations from parents are really important, not only to link home interests to our planning and provision, but they are also part of our assessment of the children and will be put towards their early years profile (If you are unsure of this and need any help, please don't hesitate to ask us).

We also ask if you have a chance to reply to any of our observations sent home, even with a quick comment, then we know you’ve seen them & you may have something useful to add.

Please also remember that any comments written on group observations, are seen by other parents too.

The uniform list for nursery is available on our website or can be seen above.

You can purchase uniform from https://wharfedaleuniforms.com/shop/for/moorfield

We allow any suitable footwear to be worn in nursery (no open toes sandals or crocs), preferably with Velcro straps instead of laces, to promote independence when taking their shoes on and off.

Children will need to bring plenty of spare clothing to nursery too (including socks as they are always missed), preferably in a backpack style bag that they can take to and from school. Alternatively they can leave their bag at school and just carry in their water bottle and snack box.
