Welcome to Nursery's class page

What an exciting week we have had this week.  We have continued to develop our writing and listening skills in phonics this week, and we have looked at the number one in our maths lessons.

We ended our week with an exciting visit from 'Little City', where we got to explore 10 different role plays and enjoyed becoming vets, builders, beauticians and police officers. Miss Conyard has also returned to class and is trying her best to learn all of our names. She's doing very well so far.

Next week we will be developing our work on the scarecrows wedding to focus on farms, farmers and what food comes from the farm. Watch out for tractors and combine harvesters.

Enjoy the weekend, and we look forward to seeing you all next week.

Miss Conyard, Mrs Roberts and Mrs Shew

School Ready...

Starting school nursery is an exciting milestone, and helping children develop independence before they begin can make the transition smoother and build their confidence. Every child develops at their own pace, but building routines that help children practise everyday self-care and social skills at home can help them feel more settled and ready to learn in a nursery environment. Why not try some of these suggested activities with your child over the Summer. How many can they achieve?

School Readiness Checklist ✓

• Use the toilet independently and wash hands afterwards.
• Put on and take off their coat and shoes with minimal help.
• Recognise and respond to their own name.
• Follow simple instructions, such as "tidy up" or "sit down."
• Feed themselves using a spoon or fork and drink from an open cup.
• Share toys and take turns with others.
