November & December 2024

Our Settling In period is now complete and all the children are enjoying following their interests and devloping their personal capabilities, skills and knowledge indoors, and very importantly, OUTDOORS!

We LOVE and VALUE or time in the natural, outdoor world and, in addition to the long period of time we spend outside in our school outdoor learning areas, we have also been using the beautiful campus around us to explore nature and learn about the cycle of life. In November, we have our first trips away on the bus. We wil be travelling to Oxford Island for some forest school fun which we will further build upon back at school over the coming months. 

Our School Development Plan for this year is now available to read on this website. One aspect of our programme will be exploring how we can effectively use sound making and musical experiences to support development across all pre-school curricular areas in a child centred and fun way. Parents are invited to a musical morning in school on Thursday 28th November. 

Christmas is not too far away and this is always a very busy and exciting time at BNS. There will be lots of family themed events coming up from Christmas Tree shopping to our annual sponsored Hill Climb and Bauble Hunt! We do hope you can join us for so me of these festive events. Our Christmas concerts will be held on 17th and 18th December this year. Parents can choose to attend on one day or the other.
