Inclusion Coffee Morning

Thank you to those parents who attended the Coffee morning today. Trisha Mason provided us with an informative talk on relationships and behaviours and the impact they have on our children.


Research states that:

"Children of distressed couples often have poorer school performance, more behavioural problems, and greater incidence of physical illness." (Cherlin, 1991)

" Researchers have consistently demonstrated that couple distress negatively affects the partners' health, welfare, and quality of life, and is a risk factor for poor child outcomes." (Cordova, Warren & Gee, 2001)

"Children from high-conflict families, when compared with children from low-conflict homes, have more adjustment problems. (Booth & Amato, 2001)


Trisha is in school on a Tuesday and Thursday to work with families and children who are having difficulties at home or in school. If you would like an appointment with Trisha please see Mrs Hoffman.

Food of the Week

Today the children in nurture group tried their hand at making cheese and ham kebabs. They each had a kebab stick to fill with cheese, ham, cucumber and tomatoes. They realised that the tricky bit was keeping the cheese cubes from breaking but they used resilience and finally finished some impressive looking kebabs. What do you think?

Food of the week.

The food of the week in nurture group this week is the Kiwi. The children tried the Kiwi and gave some adjectives to describe it.

Salt Dough Decorations

In nurture group this morning the children got busy making salt dough. They mixed flour, salt and water to make a dough, then rolled it out and cut some stars and heart shapes. These are going to be baked until hard, then painted and decorated ready for the nurture room Christmas tree.

Christmas wreaths

The nurture children got together to make a Christmas wreath today for the nurture room door. They printed out green handprints and put them together to form a wreath. They then printed red berries around the edge. Lovely job guys well done!!
