On Friday morning the nursery parents stayed for a while to read with their children. They also listened to some advice on ways to help develop their children’s early reading skills; collected their new Nursery book bags and a free book. Thank you to all who attended. Have fun sharing books together!

The children have been excited to see who takes the rabbit home each day.
Don’t forget to take a picture and send it to nursery@holbeach.lewisham.sch.uk
Maths at Holbeach
The teaching of Maths has changed a lot over the years and we are aware that your child will be learning in very different ways to how you were taught at school!
Your child will be coming home with a ‘Parents Guide to Maths’ for their year group, outlining the expectations for the year, what they will be taught and how you can support their understanding at home.
The leaflet covers all the areas of Maths, with examples and diagrams to help you. You can download the leaflets for all the year groups below.
Our first week at Nursery!
The children have settled in well and are learning how to access the nursery environment independently.
Here are some pictures of the fun so far!
What are your children learning in the Autumn Term of Nursery?

We had a wonderful day at Joss Bay!
The Gingerbread Man – Nursery
Nursery have been learning the story of The Gingerbread Man. We decided to bake some gingerbread men of our own.
First we researched what ingredients we would need and wrote shopping lists. 
We explored what real ginger looks, feels and smells like. 
We mixed, rolled and cut. 
Mix, mix, mix! 
We quickly ate them before they ran away! 
They were crunchy. 
Yummy! 
Yummy! 
Yummy! 
Sequoia drew a picture of the Gingerbread man running away. The speech bubble says; ‘Run, run, as fast as you can. You can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man!’
