Croeso i Meithrin!

Welcome to Nursery!

Information for Autumn Term 2023

Croeso! A warm welcome to Meithrin Pen y fro Nursery from Mrs Coles, Mrs Davies and Mr Beor. We are looking forward to a fun-filled year together!  

Here is a brief summary of our weekly schedule –  

Monday is NEWS day. We love finding out about each other’s adventures at the weekend and sharing ideas about what sparks our interest. 

Tuesday will be ‘cooking’ day (although some things we cook won’t be edible, such as playdough and magic potions!). Please let us know about any allergies or special diets. We ask for a contribution of £2.50 each term, for buying ingredients. 

Wednesday is PE day. We will use the hall or go outside, depending on the activity. Please dress your child in suitable clothes  - eg. joggers, leggings, trainers with easy fastenings (not laces, please!). 

Thursday is Forest School day. We will spend the majority of the morning outside, come rain or shine! Please bring your child to school dressed ready for the elements. Wellies, waterproof coats/trousers, and also hats, gloves, scarves etc. if needed - all labelled with your child’s name please. 

Friday is Busy Feet day – our feet get very busy in the hall, dancing and exercising. Today is also BOOK BAG DAY. Please bring a bag large enough to fit a picture book inside – or school book-bags are available online from Bergoni https://www.bergoni.co.uk/collections/pen-y-fro-primary/bookbag Your child can choose one of our books to take home for the week for you to share. We include a reading record book for any comments you would like to make about the experience. 

Our topic this term is ‘Marvellous Me’. We would be grateful if you could send in a photograph of the people and pets who live in your child’s house. This will be used in our display as a useful talking point for our topic, as well as making the classroom seem more like a home from home! 

*Reminders* 

Snack Time 

Please provide a healthy snack and drink every day. If you send grapes, please make sure they are cut in half to avoid choking! 

Labels 

Please label as many items of your child’s clothing as possible. You would not believe how many jumpers and cardigans sprout legs and run away every term! 

Cooking money 

If possible, please contribute £2.50 this term for cooking ingredients. 

This half-term is all about settling into the new environment. Please don’t hesitate to talk to any of us about anything – good or bad, happy or sad! Nothing is silly or trivial – we want to build the best relationship possible with you and your child for our journey through the years at Pen y fro. Let us know the things that interest and fascinate your child. What is your favourite thing to do together as a family? Favourite film? Favourite band? What football team does Grandad support?  

        We look forward to an exciting year of learning, laughing and achieving together at Pen y fro Nursery!
