kind hands and feet,

to join in with key group times and begin to take turns in a conversation.

Nursery focus 18.9.17

Welcome to all parents and carers of our new nursery children. This week your children will embark on their transition into nursery staying for short sessions before staying for either whole days or three hours. 

We aim to settle the children into their new setting by spending time with each individual child, playing, chatting and learning about them as well as nurturing their needs and requirements. We want our children in nursery to become happy and confident learners and to do this we will work with you, the parents to ensure that they get off to a good start!

Reception Focus W/C 18.9.17

Firstly, we would like to say a big warm welcome to all of our new reception pupils and parents/guardians.

Now the children are settled and learning the ropes of reception, we will begin focusing on our first topic ‘All About Me’.

In phonics, we will be playing some listening games and learning to take turns whilst sharing our ideas within a class discussion.

In maths, we will be reading and ordering numbers to 10 forwards and backwards.
