Dear Parents and Carers
We hope that you have all been enjoying looking at your child’s Special Books. I am sure you will join me in thanking the staff for putting them together as a record of your child’s year here.
Tracey has sent you an email earlier today asking for any comments from you on your child’s experiences here at Homerton – Your comments are very useful for us to have, not only to improve our service to families, but also to have evidence for Ofsted who may well be visiting in the coming year.
Just a reminder that on Wednesday this week, the 10th July, we have an end of year singing celebration for children and parents to attend. The event takes place in the main nursery garden at 11.00am and 2.30pm. Parents can attend either of these times, but we suggest that Nest, South morning and East Red parents come in the morning, and East Blue and West parents come in the afternoon. East Purple and South Red parents please choose whichever session suits you best. Please enter via the park pond gate. In the morning we are lucky enough to have a parent who plays the acoustic guitar accompanying us singing some songs.
I shall make sure I put some photos of the event in next week’s bulletin, which will be our last of the term.

| Some of the Learning this week
Nest Yellow children enjoyed a trip to Nightingale Park last week so I thought you might like to see a few photos of this event. Doing a treasure hunt to find the object in the photos
Making a beautiful book mark
Enjoying some parachute play including hopping and sleeping bunnies
East Room also enjoyed a book called ‘Archimedes Bath’, which is all about exploring water displacement when animals are added into a bath of water – the children were really engaged in watching Bernie as she added additional animals to her bath, with lots of questions and anticipation about whether the water was going to overflow or not?! The children continued experimenting the next day with animals and bowls of water in the class water tray.
The Nest have also been doing some exploring of water play seeing if they can pour water from a container in order to turn the water wheels.
There has also been quite a maths theme this week with games of snap and more counting out of potatoes.
West Room dug out a total of 33 new potatoes, grown from 3 original seed potatoes which were planted back in April. The children predicted the number of potatoes that they thought would have grown before digging them out – Dong ended up being the person who guessed correctly with 33!
We are still waiting for the butterflies to hatch so I have my fingers crossed they will move on to this stage next week in time for the end of term!

Best wishes from all of us at Homerton.
