Welcome to Nursery.
Welcome to Nursery, here we have a multi-sensory, creative and fun approach to learning which is designed to lay all the foundations that prepare every child to be school ready when they move into Reception.
Nursery is our provision for children aged 3+. This provision includes 15 hour Nursery classes (8.45-11.45 AM ) and we now offer a 30 hour Nursery provision.
Please take a look at our exciting learning.
Autumn 1 Learning.
During Autumn 1 Nursery focused on Our World, we discussed our families, our homes, our new friends and of course we explored our school. We focused on Andy Goldsworthy and applied our learning in Forest School.
In Maths we explored Nursery rhymes, counting songs and explored the language of number. We focused on numbers 1-3.
Autumn 2 Learning .
This term Nursery have been looking at their local environment, exploring where they live and who they live with. The children have built new friendships and have learnt about the world they see everyday, from the houses they walk past to the different homes of different animals.
The children have also been learning about light and dark, exploring which animals are awake in the day time or night time and how we know this. The children learnt how shadows are formed when light is blocked by an object creating the shapes behind the object and the children explored this using torches. We focused on the books, Whatever Next, Owl Babies and Night Monkey Day Monkey.
we had visits from a poet and we all learnt a new poem with great actions to go with it. Nursery also had a visit from the local children's centre where we had stories read to us and fun activities.
During Maths we have focused on numbers aswell as comparing the size and weight of shapes. The children learnt about about 2D and 3D shapes and could put them into the right groups.
