Anti-Bullying Week is right around the corner, and this year’s theme is “Choose Respect” 🫡 When disputes arise among children, insults and rudeness can sometimes follow 🤬 and it’s vital for us to show them a better way. https://t.co/SyhZ7WqGQLhttps://t.co/1wUFOQzaow pic.twitter.com/BfnWqhegPz

Nursery

Autumn 1
Welcome to Nursery Class:

Welcome to Nursery Class  

 

This year nursery class will be known as Buttercup class. 

Miss Cockell is teaching the nursery class this year assisted by Miss Nunzia, Miss Marcia and Mrs Heath. 

Welcome to Nursery class! We hope you find the information below useful as your child starts their nursery education with us. This information will help you support your child at home with the organisation of their week and their learning at home. 

Key Times 

Homework 

In nursery class, our families are invited to share their home learning by uploading photographs & videos to their child’s learning journal via Parent Share. We will also have a mobile library which will be located outside of the Nursery classroom.  Families are able to loan books to share at home.  Reading to your child regularly will develop their attention & listening skills as well as their vocabulary & understanding of the world. 

Key Times 

The nursery school gates open at 8:30 in the morning.  The gate will be locked at 8.40. 

The children going home at lunchtime are collected from the nursery gate at 11:30, please be there to collect them promptly.  

The nursery school gates open at 12:30 in the afternoon for children who attend afternoon sessions. 

All children are collected from the nursery door in the afternoon.  

The gates are open by 3:25.  

 

What are we learning? 

This term’s topic is, ‘Marvellous Me’. 

As the children settle into Nursery we will explore & celebrate all of the things that make them ‘Marvellous!’.  We will explore the children’s qualities and interests and celebrate their families and their heritage. 

We will be exploring our outdoor learning area daily.  

Please bring in a named pair of wellington boots to keep at school and provide your child with a waterproof hooded coat to wear outside. School shoes are also needed to wear indoors. 

Our topic books this term include: What I like about me, Super Duper You, Hey you! Marvellous me and Family and Me. 

 

How can I help at home? 

One of the keyways every parent can help is to ensure that your child is at school every day and on time. We also encourage the nursery children to be independent when changing shoes – Velcro fastenings enable this, and putting on coats for outdoor learning, please support them at home with their dressing skills.   Other than this, the main way you can help is by making time to read stories and enjoy songs and rhymes every day at home. It is the most effective way of ensuring that your child makes progress in all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage.  

Our outdoor learning and gardens are open every day. Please remember a named waterproof coat as we are outside in all weathers exploring the world around us as much as we can. In hot weather please provide a sun hat and apply sunscreen before school.  

Throughout the school year, you will be able to contribute to your child’s learning journal via Parent Share.  You are able to upload photographs and videos of the experiences & learning which takes place at home.
