Happy Bonfire Night!

Today, we engaged in an exploration of fireworks, introducing the children to the captivating world of lights and igniting their imaginations.

Each child had the opportunity to closely examine various shiny objects placed within a tuff tray, tracing their fingers along the intricate patterns.
They made the astute observation that light reflections could be perceived across different objects.

This activity served as a valuable tool in fostering their comprehension of the world around them, prompting insightful responses and inquiries.

Furthermore, we enriched their learning experience by playing a fireworks soundtrack, familiarisng the children with the characteristic sounds associated with fireworks displays.

Additionally, we created the bonfire night pictures, which the children were delighted to take home as cherished mementos of this educational endeavor.

🎆 🎇 Will you be enjoying the fireworks this week? It’s an exciting time of year but can be very dangerous.

So, please keep safety in mind.

Remember,

• If you can afford it, organised displays are much safer
• Only use fireworks that are suitable for the space you have
• Keep children at a safe distance from the display
• Sparklers burn at a very high temperature so need to be treated with caution. Wear gloves and keep it at arm’s length
• If clothing does catch fire remember to STOP, DROP and ROLL

Please be advised that during the week commencing November 11, 2024, we will be celebrating Children in Need throughout the entire week.

During this time, children are welcome to wear pajamas if they want to.

Thank you

The Halloween week was a great success, with a focus on ghosts, pumpkins, and science-related activities.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the Halloween party, and we express our gratitude to all the parents and grandparents who kindly sent cupcakes, which were greatly appreciated.

The children engaged in various activities, some of which we have sent home for you to complete at home, as we were unable to accommodate all of them during the week.

We encourage you to engage in these activities with your children during your leisure time or whenever you have a moment to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee.

Additionally, I have prepared and give everyone treasure bags for the children. Please fill these bags with natural resources and return them next week. Furthermore, please provide your children with medium-sized jars next week, as we have planned additional activities centered around nature.

We hope you have a delightful Halloween and collect an abundance of treats this evening. As a reminder, you are welcome to share photographs from tonight's festivities with us through the Baby Days app. 🎃 👻 👻 🎃

This week has been quite busy and some of our activities included motivating the children to practice their name writing skills. We examined their "name starting letter," and the children demonstrated a high level of curiosity about it. We also worked on scissor control, and the children created their own pictures by cutting along the lines and then adhering their cutouts to another sheet of paper.

To support the understanding of the world from our curriculum, we also explored the differences between us all, which generated numerous inquiries and some excellent responses. The children learned the proper names for their body parts and enjoyed discussing the distinctions between themselves and others.

For the week of October 28, 2024, we will delve into the topic of pumpkins and engage in Halloween story times throughout the week. There will be a lot of a messy play, so please don't send children in their best clotes.

The children are welcome to dress up all week or come in their pajamas. Additionally, we are planning a Halloween party on Wednesday, so we kindly request that parents send snack-type food item, such as sandwiches.

Today was a great and very busy day. We visited our local library and art center, where the children demonstrated remarkable attention and listening skills.

We observed various paintings and sculptures, and engaged in reading books at the library.

Encouraging children to interact with their surroundings plays a pivotal role in fostering their emotional development and preparing them for academic success. This process enhances their confidence in their environment and facilitates their understanding of their communities which is a big part of our learning curriculum.

Today was a very productive day. As a part of our EYFS ( Early years foundation stage) curriculum we visited Central Park and had a picnic on the benches.

This trip supported children's understanding about the word around them, mathematical knowledge, social emotional development, literacy and much more. We've encouraged the language and communication to ensure, that the children are school ready.

The children were attentive and well-behaved, which was a source of pride for us.

We observed various plants, flowers, and trees, encouraging the children to engage their senses of touch and smell. They expanded their vocabulary with words like "prickly" and "bushy." We compared the sizes of different trees, using adjectives such as "small," "tiny," and "enormous."

Additionally, we collected flowers and observed the insects, animals, and birds in our surroundings. The children were particularly fascinated by a squirrel they spotted.

Thank you to all parents to provide a picnic style food today for the children. I am sure they will all tell you about the bus trip and the park visit.

As early childhood educators, we both advocate for the significance of early years experiences, such as, trips, and other activities that foster interactions with the surrounding world. These experiences play a crucial role in building resilience and confidence in young children. We firmly believe that the more children are exposed to and explore, the more self-assured they become.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone once again. The beginning of this term has been quite eventful. The children are readjusting remarkably well, and we eagerly anticipate the upcoming term. So far we went to the park and to the pet shop.

May I kindly request that if you are dropping off or picking up children and notice several cars in front of our house, please consider parking a little further down the road? This considerate gesture will help minimise any potential disturbance to our neighbors.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

I would like to extend my best wishes to our children who left us to go to the big school as they embark on their educational journey today. We are confident that they will have a successful and enjoyable first day of school. They have been well-prepared and are ready to take on this new challenge. We wish them all the best as they begin this exciting new chapter in their lives. 😊 ❤️

As another year has passed, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our families and friends of Wise Childcare Scunthorpe.

First and foremost, we extend our best wishes to our precious children who are embarking on their educational journey by starting school this September. We have no doubt that you will excel and make us proud!

Secondly, we would like to express our deepest appreciation to our parents, grandparents, and family members. Your unwavering support, understanding, and kind words have been instrumental in our success. We are truly grateful for your positive attitude and willingness to collaborate as a team.

We are humbled and overwhelmed by the gestures of appreciation we have received this week. The abundance of gifts, cards, wines, hugs, great words and delicious treats you have so generously shared with us has left us feeling incredibly touched and grateful. Your thoughtfulness and generosity will sustain us until next year!

Last but not least, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my wonderful Katie. You are my constant support system, always there for me, the children, and the setting. Your dedication and commitment are invaluable, and I am truly fortunate to have you by my side.

Dear Parents

Please can I remind everyone to send their children in each day with a suncream in their bags and their sunhats so we can carry on with our activities as normal.

This is to ensure that you child is ready to play outside and they are sun safe.

Today, the children engaged in a collaborative and educational activity centered around the theme of medical care. They assumed the roles of doctors and worked together as a team, taking turns to participate in the activity. The primary objective of this exercise was to enhance their understanding of potential hazards in their surroundings and to instill an appreciation for basic first aid techniques.

The children demonstrated remarkable teamwork and proficiency in applying bandages to their peers and themselves, showcasing their ability to work effectively in a collaborative environment.

Today we visited our museum and we went to the park. We had lots of fun and we explored a lot!
