To all our fantastic families,
We wish you a very Happy New Year!
We wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge heartfelt thank you for another wonderful year here at Bell House Nursery. We have loved getting to know our new families and strengthening our relationships and partnerships with those of you who have been with us for quite some time. We adore what we do and are very thankful you entrust us to look after and nurture your little ones – there is no other job like it!
So here’s to another wonderful year as we start 2018…
Thank you once again for all your support,
The Bell House Team
…HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!
We hope you all have a wonderful break full of festive fun with your little ones!
Ladybirds
This week we have had lots of Christmas fun! We have made delicious chocolate truffles, crafty Christmas collages and had lots of fun dancing with different fabrics.
Next week, for those that will be in, we will be getting arty crafty making lots of artwork for our New Year displays!
Butterflies
This week we have been continuing the Christmas fun by dancing to lots of Christmas music and get stuck into Christmas cooking, making rice crispy cakes to look like little Christmas puddings! We have been making lovely decorations by hand painting, sticking and gluing to go around the room.
Next week we will be getting ready for the New Year and doing some fireworks paintings!
Bumblebees
This week we have been in the Christmas Spirit baking Christmas biscuits and making Christmas decorations and lots of crafts. We have also been enjoying different sensory activities including ice play – brrrr!
Next week we will be continuing our Christmas spirit and are planning on going for a walk to see all the pretty lights.
Dragonflies
Letter of the week O, number 15, colour light green and shape a circle.
This week we have been all about Christmas, with so many fun crafts, games and lots of music. We made sure, as always, we had lots of fresh air this week charging around the garden and having lots of fun.
Next week is a short week but we will still fill it full of Christmas fun and prepare some New Year celebratory fun. Please don’t forget to pick up your art pack, it’s full of lovely goodies from your little ones, if you didn’t manage to pick it up before Christmas.
…just a gentle reminder that it is the last day of term tomorrow for all our term time families. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas break and we look forward to welcoming you back from 4th January next year!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
