March 2018

This month the topic is “People who help us”. The children will be learning about different professionals whose role it is to help and look after us.

Throughout the month we will be inviting various professionals such as the local police and firefighters to the nursery. This will give the children a firsthand, real life experience and bring the topic to life. The children will have the opportunity to explore the police cars, watch the trained police dogs sniff out hidden items and learn all about the special equipment used by the firemen.

The topic will be split into weekly sub

topics:

Week 1 – Police

Week 2 – Firemen

Week 3 – Dentist

Week 4 – spring break (25th March – 5th April)

A simple finger painting activity is a great way to engage your child in conversation about looking after their teeth. It also provides opportunity to reinforce counting skills.

A large cardboard box can be transformed into a fire truck to give your child hours of imaginary roleplay

What’s been happening……

First aid training.

Children are naturally very inquisitive and prone to accidents, here at

Monroe’s we believe at least one adult in every family should have the

knowledge and confidence to administer First Aid procedures in the case of an emergency.

Therefore, Pediatric First Aid training for parents and care givers was held at nursery Monday 5th February 2018. The course was delivered by Ms. Alys Davies from Safe Hands.

Half term camp……

During our half term camp the children participated in a wide range of exciting activities. Here are just a few of the magic moments they shared with their friends. . . . . . .
