Nursery staff
In Nursery, the teachers are Mrs Aird and Mrs Stephenson. The support staff are Mrs Hodson, Mrs Green, Mrs Kaye, Mrs Whittaker, Miss Colligan, Mrs Hammond and Miss Hudson.
In Nursery, we will be building your child's foundation of learning and supporting them to become 'school ready'. Through exciting, purposeful provision and adult-led sessions, the children will access all 17 areas of learning. We have carefully designed a curriculum that caters for all needs, is inspiring and has taken into account local information. In Nursery, we will predominantly learn through play. It is essential that children learn through meaningful, playful experiences as this supports the development of the whole child. You can find the overview of our learning for this half term below.
Current Class book
In Spring 1, we will be learning about rhyming through the story "The smartest giant in town" and more! We are going to be finding rhymes, matching them, finding the odd one out, clapping syllables and more! We want to develop these skills to help us become great readers and listeners ready for when we start learning to listen for sounds in words. See below for more books we will be looking at to help us learn about rhyming.
Photos of our classroom
We will record your child's learning through our online journal system called 'Tapestry'. On here you will find a weekly blog and any 'WOW' moments your child experiences in nursery.
Please remember sign up to your child's tapestry account! Thank you!
