Nursery
Welcome to Nursery
Welcome to nursery. Your class teacher is Mrs Flack (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) and Mrs Paice on a Wednesday. Mrs Norman and Miss Lloyd are your teaching assistants.
We aim to fill each day with fun and engaging activities. We learn best by playing with our friends and using a range of different resources across our indoor and outdoor classrooms. The areas we have on offer include creative, shape and numbers, the natural world, construction, role play, literacy and sensory play e.g. sand and water. We also have lots of opportunities to develop our communication skills, for example through singing, reading stories, rhymes, playing instruments and dancing. Some of these activities take place outside or in the hall and the forest school in our outdoor area.
During the term we will be looking at the topic of 'Ourselves', and celebrating, Divali, Fireworks night and Christmas.
Please make use of your Tapestry account to view your child's learning regularly or see below for weekly updates.
