What a busy term we’ve had in Patch! We’ve been learning how to:

• deal with and express our emotions,

• build relationships through role play,

• use teamwork for delicious baking,

• play board games for that winning and losing experience!

We have used the following books to support these activities:

• The Colour Monster

• The Colour Monster Goes to School

• Rainbow Fish

• Jasper’s Beanstalk

What a busy half term in Patch

(role play, baking, Rock Star Kids, reading, sensory lights and winter activities)

    Remembering, reflecting and understanding.

Celebrating Autumn

Exploring Space

Patch

Patch was purposefully set up for Nurture in 2007.

Nurture Group rooms are carefully arranged to have the best of both classroom and a home environment. They are designed to be warm and welcoming in order to provide a consistent, predictable and safe place for children. Provision should be of a high quality and link to curriculum activities, just as any classroom there are areas for sharing stories, circles times and for completing tasks, there is an additional area for hosting ‘toast time’ where children are able to sit as a group to share a meal. Within the Patch there is also a   quiet area for children to use for thinking time or for finding their own space.

The group is run by Mrs Wust and Ms Hawtin.
