What a delight it has been to see more sunshine this week! We have been discussing sun safety in assemblies, using the Cancer Council Song with Sid the Seagull! The children have loved their time outside even more this week in the sunshine and we've seen lots of different types of play from exploratory and creative to locomotor, physical play. For children to get the most out of their outside time, families please remember to send sun hats and sun cream!
Yesterday, all of the classes across school from Nursery through to Year Two had a visit from PCSO Steve Ridley. He got the children thinking about all of the people in their lives who help them. He talked to us about staying safe when walking near roads (wearing bright colours, having reflectors on our clothes and bags, walking on the path furthest away from the road, holding hands with a grown-up), how to cross roads safely (stop, look both ways and at least twice, listen and think – is it safe to cross?), where to go in the community if children get lost or need help and how to contact the police through 111 or 999 and the difference between the two. A huge thank you to PCSO Ridley for his time and a big well done to the children for their great questions and super learning behaviours!
The Reception children welcomed Charlotte from 'Little Steamers' yesterday for workshops about space. They learned about the moon and watched demonstrations using a balloon rocket, explaining about the term 'thrust'. They made their own star telescopes and discussed how telescopes work and what they are used for! A fabulous learning opportunity generously paid for by our Friends of Pickering Infant & Nursery School. The children really enjoyed their learning but Charlotte was equally impressed by their knowledge about space already! Well done everyone!
Congratulations to our winner of the Ryedale Lions Easter Egg. The amount raised in our raffle for this Easter treat was just over £400. A huge thank you to Friends of Pickering Infant & Nursery School in running the raffle. We wish you all a wonderful Easter and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone back after the break.
The children have loved the new sand pit which has been open now for a few weeks! Thank you again to Ryedale Lions, and the staff who worked with them, for their donation and to Mr and Mrs Kelly for their work getting this ready for the children. A great team effort that gives more play opportunities for the children supporting us with our commitment, as a school, to high quality play for all!
