About our Nursery:
Our nursery class is a teacher-led environment in a bright open-plan space aimed at children aged 3-4. The nursery class room is set up for learning through play, with a role play, small world toys, story corner, block play, mark making, number area, investigation station, creative area and a mud kitchen amongst others.
The Nursery class is led by a Teacher and two Early Years Assistants. Children are encouraged to participate in a range of stimulating, fun learning activities to prepare them for school including phonics, sounds time, pencil control, group activities and much much more. Our Nursery Class ensures that every child gains the most from their nursery experience and helps make their journey into reception an easy and happy one.
Spring Term
During the spring term we will explore a new topic 'Our Favourite Stories'. We will focus on a different traditional tale each week including Goldilocks and the 3 bears, The 3 little pigs and Little red riding hood amongst others.
Phonics
We will begin to explore some early phonics activities including listening and identifying environmental, instrumental and vocal sounds.
Maths
Nursery will also be working on some early mathematical concepts e.g. making comparisons between quantities, using mathematical language 'more', 'a lot' and 'fewer', categorising objects by different criteria's and identifying simple shapes and patterns in pictures.
Tapestry
Remember to look on Tapestry frequently to see some of the amazing things we are getting up to! We will continue to keep updating Tapestry with any important information as well as any observations we make on your children. Alternatively we would love you to upload anything that your child is doing at home as we love to learn about your child's learning journey at home.
