When you come to school on your first day you will find a peg with your name on just like this:
You do not need a PE bag but you do need a spare clothes bag with your name written or sewn on the front.
Inside you will need :
A spare pair of navy tracksuit bottoms, a spare pair of pants and a spare pair of
socks.

We have overalls to wear for messy things like water play, painting and
sticking.

At school you will find lots of things to do.
Sand and water
Construction Reading
Instruments Computing

You can play outside with toys.
You will have something to eat and drink with all your new friends.

At the end of the morning you will collect your book bag.

Before you come to Nursery see if you can learn:
What your name looks like.
To use the toilet by yourself and wash your hands.
To do up your coat by yourself.
To say your full name.
To peel a satsuma and eat an apple that is whole (not cut up for you).

Don't worry if you cannot do all these things, someone will always be there to help you.
Please make sure that someone has named all of your things.
See you soon!

Things to look forward to in the Nursery year:

Ash End House Farm Trip.
Cooking at school and home.
