We are 3 and 4 years old. We are the young explorers and investigators who enjoy creating, investigating, evaluating and acquiring new skills! Come and join the fun…… In Nursery, we enjoy learning through play, activities and experiences. We also have ongoing assessment which informs pupil progress, if you would like to find out more please search EYFS framework.

A Typical Day in Nursery 

At Nursery, we believe that through providing a stimulating, calm and fun environment for all children will enable them to learn and grow! Learning is based upon first hand, practical experiences to capture and engage children.

On arrival we take part in gross motor skill development through ‘wake up shake up’.

We complete daily phonics where we learn to tune into sounds around us and begin to develop phonological awareness.  

Choice time is an opportunity for us to use our classroom and outdoor area as a secure base for learning. Adults add interesting and curious resources to excite and extend learning. The adults’ main role is to join play and encourage, model, guide, help and facilitate learning.This is related to our theme or topic so to rough using the environment, this helps us embed the learning further.

The best way to think about this is like a supermarket. All the necessities are there such as; milk and bread and occasionally there is a middle aisle that has extra resources that are interesting and you don't typically see all of the time!

Story time is a very important part of our daily routine. We use this time to share stories and extend our language and vocabulary by completing short adult led activities where we focus on specific, planned areas of learning. This could be related to any area of the EYFS curriculum depending on our skills and what we are aiming to learn.

We are also  part of the toothbrushing scheme. This means we brush our teeth daily in class  in addition to brushing teeth at home. This is to teach us about oral health and how to keep ourselves healthy.
