Welcome to Nursery, this is where your story begins! Our adults are Mrs Kilgallon and Mrs Weaver. We work hard as a team to ensure children feel safe, valued and nurtured within the Nursery environment.
We have our own designated nursery and garden area where we have a range of activities such as sand and water, construction, role play and craft.
The children practise their physical skills and learn about the world around them. We enjoy listening to stories and rhymes, singing and dancing, exploring and investigating and getting messy whilst playing and learning inside and out! We have an amazing, purpose built Forest School, which we access as often as we can.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum which comprises of seven areas of learning; Personal, Social and Emotional Development; Physical Development; Communication and Language; Literacy; Mathematics; Understanding of the World and Expressive Arts and Design.
Have a look at what we are learning!
Through our planned activities children will be learning:
Autumn Term – All About Me
This term we are learning all about ourselves. We are discovering and exploring all the different areas of our classroom and are beginning to listen to short stories and join in with familiar songs and rhymes.
We are learning about our likes and dislikes and talking about our families. We will also investigate our natural environment and observe the changes outdoors to notice the changes we can see and feel in Autumn .
Spring Term – What’s in my World? What’s special about Spring?
In Spring Term we begin to explore the world around us in more detail. In Spring 1 we learn about where we live and where we go to school. We learn about ‘People Who Help Us’ in our wider community such as firefighters and doctors. In Spring 2 we notice changes during the season of Spring and explore a farm to identify different farm animals. Finally, we will end Spring Term by exploring the topic of Easter when we have lots of Easter fun!
We use a themed approach to learning, reflecting children’s interests, where each term an exciting topic is used as a starting point for learning.
