October has been a very busy month for all of the children and the staff members at nursey.
We welcomed many new children and their families at the nursery and an Ofsted inspection on the 7th. Thank you to all parents who talked to Her Majesty’s Inspector and Ofsted Inspector on the day. We will receive a copy of the report when it is published.
October is our Black History month and we always celebrate it with different related activities, such as printing African patterns on fabric to make scarves, creating our own shakers decorated with Caribbean patterns, reading many stories settled in Africa, Caribbean and other different countries.
The children had the chance to take part in an exciting drumming workshop on the 8th October led by Iroko theatre. All children had fun at playing the djembe and had a close look at different African musical instruments in the nursery garden.
The staff at Alice Model enjoyed performing  Handa’s Surprise for the children. The children were very impressed with their teachers’ acting skills! We also tried the different kinds of fruit featured in the story book.
Thank you to all the parents who took part in the workshop on positive sleep routine and toilet training on the 21st October.
Have a great half term everyone and see you back at nursery on the 1st November.

Welcome to all new children and their families at Alice Model Nursery. It’s a pleasure to have you here and see you all getting involved with all the activities on offer at school.
We are all settling in back at nursery and enjoying all the water play, making new friends.   
We are organising some whole school outings already and our first trip this academic year was a great success! On the 29th September many children went to visit the Tower of London accompanied by their parents and their teachers. The children loved looking at the ravens and talking to the Beefeaters. We also found a huge dragon in the White Tower and amazing real size wooden horses and armour!
The children had a great fun role playing as royals and knights in our dedicated role-play area at nursery. We built a big castle using big wooden blocks in the Maths room and we created our own crown using colourful gems. We also made our own treasure chests and counted gems and children got very excited making their own shields with their chosen coat of arms.
To all our parents:
Don’t forget to take part in our workshop on how to keep children safe online on the 1st October.
