Castle Room News

Over the next two weeks in Castle Class, we will be focusing on PSED as we support the children through their transition into nursery routines and expectations. We will support the children to develop friendships with their peers and teachers, using timers to support turn taking and planning enhancements to support collaborative play.

In the Garden we have added multi-seated bikes that allow the children to support each other in transporting their friends around the garden. Please watch the short video attached of some of the ways we can encourage helping each other.

In the Snack Room, we will be focusing on accessing the continuous snack independently, cutting our toast, pouring our milk and spreading our butter. We will also talk about the routine of snack washing our hands, grabbing our dishes, picking our snack and chew chew chewing! Here is a video of our butter-spread song 'Side to Side'.

We will be introducing our story times this week with The Enormous Turnip, using our story baskets to introduce turnips, growing and our characters.

The next Book of the Week, 10 Red Apples, follows the story of 10 hungry animals taking apples out of the tree, but the farmers wants to know 'if they'll leave some for me'.
