Welcome to Nursery!

Thank you for visiting our Nursery page. We hope you enjoy looking around.

Our Topic

We will start this term with the topic ‘How high can you jump?’. We will be reading books such as ‘Dear Zoo’ and ‘Walking through the jungle.’ The children will have the opportunity to discuss and explore different animals, where they live and what they look like, before thinking about the way in which these animals move.

We are also hoping for a special visitor to come and spend some time with nursery showing the children a range of exciting and exotic animals.

Upcoming Events

Nursery are pleased to introduce ‘Reading Buddies’. Each week your child will bring home a book to share with their parents. We would like to invite parents into nursery on Tuesday 17th April at 11:10am (morning nursery) and 2:40pm (afternoon nursery) to discuss this exciting new opportunity.

Summer half term will end on Friday 25th May and children will return to school on Monday 11th June.

Homework

There is no formal homework in Nursery, however, please continue to borrow books from our Self Select Bookcase to read regularly to your child. Also, feel free to borrow from our Games Library. If you would like any further information or activities to do with your child do not hesitate to speak to any of the Nursery Staff.

We have added copies of some of the nursery rhymes we have been learning to the parent notice board in the cloakroom area. Please help yourselves and practise them at home too.
