Water Safety Awareness 💦
As the weather gets warmer and children spend more time outdoors, it's important to remember that water can pose serious risks. Drowning can happen quickly and silently, even in shallow water.
Please take a moment to read the attached water safety guidance.

Today, our Nursery and Reception children were delighted to welcome Chris from Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service to Bursley! 🚒🧯
The children had a fantastic time learning all about fire safety through stories, songs and fun activities. They learnt the important "Stop, Drop and Roll" technique and even had the opportunity to dress up as firefighters!
Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service would like to encourage all Bursley families to check that their smoke alarms are working correctly at home. Regular testing can help keep everyone safe!

Oral language plays a vital role in children’s learning, literacy and social and emotional development.
Our latest guide supports parents and educators with practical, evidence-informed strategies to help children build school-ready language skills.
The guide explores:
• Building oral language through meaningful interaction
• Supporting listening and attention
• Growing children’s vocabulary
• Sharing stories and naming feelings
• Working with settings to spot and support language needs
• Using evidence-based approaches to meet individual needs
With language developing rapidly between the ages of two and six, early support can make a lasting difference to children’s confidence, communication and readiness for school.
