Highfield South Farnham Nursery

At Highfield South Farnham Nursery we are passionate about fostering strong links between nursery and home.
We are introducing our home learning bags. These bags have been put together to help the children feel more settled and secure.

We have 4 bags with a choice of 4 different activities to master different skills.
The bags are placed in the foyer area, please choose one, fill in the borrow label below, hang it on the peg instead of the bag, take the bag and return it within 2 weeks!

Happy playing.

The children all enjoyed coming in their pyjamas today to help support children in need.

Thank you for your support.

Poppy Poppy what do you say?
Wear me on Remembrance Day.

Poppy Poppy what do you tell?
Many soldiers in battle fell.

Poppy Poppy what should we know?
That peace on earth should grow, grow, grow.

What an amazing time we had at Alice Holt. The children enjoyed looking at the trees and watching the changing effects of Autumn. They enjoyed the forest school activities and Hatty the Hedgehog is all ready for hibernation thanks to all the children getting her settled and warm.

Thank you to all the parents for transporting your children to the forest.

This week our focus story is Elmar. We are discovering everything around colours. For cookery, we made our own rainbow toast. The children were tasked to toast their bread at home and share a picture with us. Well done everyone!

Due to the weather forecast for Friday, we have decided to change our Father’s Day event to an indoor stay and play.

This session will run 2-2:45pm. We plan to play and have a refreshing ice lolly to finish!

Sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment for those wanting the football match.

Our priority will always be the welfare of the children.

Any questions- please speak to a staff member.

This week our focus story is ‘The Undersea Cleaning Spree’ we are learning how we can look after our planet, especially our ocean! ♻️🌊🐠🐬

We are expecting some hot weather this week.

A gentle reminder that children need to enter the nursery with sun cream already applied. We then will re apply after lunch to those staying all day.

Please ensure your child has a named hat.

We plan to stay inside between 11-3pm on hot days.

We have been reading the story ‘Different - A great thing to be!’ By Heather Avis.

We have had discussions on disability, culture, families and different likes/interests. We have also spoken about our visual differences. Each child made their own face after looking in the mirror.

How wonderfully different we all are.

Don’t worry to those that haven’t been in, you will make your face next week!

⭐️REMINDER ⭐️

Today is our nursery group photo. If your child isn’t attending this morning and you would like them to be in the group picture. Then please bring your child in for 9:30am.

Thank you! 📸

Chickenpox is going around again! Please remember NOT to give your children nurofen/ibuprofen if you think your child has it.

This type of medicine is an anti-inflammatory. It reacts with the chickenpox making them go deeper into the skin tissue, potentially causing a more severe secondary infection.

Better options:
👶Paracetamol for fever
👶Calamine Lotion for the itch
👶Keep your child hydrated

Always seek medical advice.

Our cocoons hatched over the Easter break. 🦋
They couldn’t wait to get in the sunshine! We loved watching the catapiliars turn into cocoons and learning about life cycles of living things. We will show these pictures to the children when they return next Tuesday.

We have had the best day at the Zoo! What a wonderful way to finish the term. 🐅🦧🦒🦛🦏🦓🦅🐠🦎🐍🦩🦥

Check out tapestry for a whole album of pictures and videos!

We hope all our families have a lovely Easter.

3pm expected arrival time.

We’ve had the best day! 🦒🐅🦓🦛🦏🦩🦥

A huge thank you for all the parents that have donated plants and came in to revamp our care garden.

It looks amazing!

How does our planning work?

At Highfield South Farnham Nursery we plan 'In the moment'. Your child's key worker waits for teachable moments to impact their learning.

A perfect example below of a child independently making their own pizza at the playdough station. The adult role influenced problem solving through play by suggesting portioning out the pizza. The child was able to come up with an equal amount. Using language like 'more than' 'less than' and 'equal'. All done through play!

Don't forget to check your child's tapestry account for their wonderful play experiences.
