Nursery
Welcome to Nursery
Mrs Peck is the Class Teacher and Mrs Hall is the Teaching Assistant.
Ms Robertson teaches the Nursery on Wednesday morning.
Nursery is a fundamental learning time for all children.
Early Years education is the foundation for learning positive behaviours and understanding expectations for learning in school and also to help develop social skills with other children and adults.
We have an open door policy if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask in person or send a message via the school office.
What are we learning about this term?
Our focus is on Phase 1 phonics, tuning in to sounds, rhymes and songs.
This phase concentrates on the children’s listening and speaking skills too, all of which are the foundations to become super readers, as they progress through school.
We follow a phonics scheme called Little Wandle Foundations, which focuses on the following aspects.
• Rhyming words.
• Syllables within words.
• The first sound that words begin with.
• The sounds within words (for example, knowing that the word ‘cat’ is made of the sounds c-a-t).
Maths
In maths we will be counting to 5 using different methods.
We will sing number rhymes, counting out objects one at a time.
We will be learning the skill of subitising (Recognising how many objects there are without the need to count them) and we will be looking at the composition of numbers.
We will explore height, length and capacity.

‘If you want your child to be intelligent, read them fairy tales.’
