What happens in Nursery and Reception?

When the children are not working with an adult, they have access to the continuous and enhanced provision. These areas are carefully planned for and are enriched with challenges and provision to support the skills that the children are learning. We have members of staff to nurture, support and further develop the children during their time in the continuous provision challenging and asking questions. We also have a wonderful outdoor area which is part of our continuous provision.

When will Forest school take place?

Weekly sessions every Friday for both classes.

We will be running these sessions come rain or shine and so it would be great for children to have their wellies and waterproof trousers/clothing in school each week so that they can always take part in these outdoor activities. Please send in spare clothes on these days, including socks. We will send these home again at the end of the session. Please can you ensure that all items are labelled clearly.

• P.E. Sessions on Tuesday (Children to bring in their P.E kits please to change into) - Nursery

How to help at home.

-Daily reading at home will support your child's learning, talk about the story.  Here are some questions you could ask when you are reading together...

What do you think this story will be about? What might happen in the story?  Which part of the story is your favourite / least favourite? Why? • Would you change any part of the story? How? • Would you change any of the characters? How? • Which part of the story was the funniest, scariest, saddest, and happiest? Find some evidence in the text to support your opinion.  • What might happen next? • How do you think the story might end? • Who is your favourite character? Why? • Who is the character you like least? Why? • Find 2 sentences, which describe the setting

Reception - Please update Boomreader regularly - if on school reading scheme. 

Developing a love for reading...

In Nursery and Reception we aim to ignite children's love of reading through an inviting reading corner for the children to choose books that interest them, explore how to hold stories as a reader and retell familiar stories using stick puppets and props. The children will build their early reading skills through sharing stories, songs and rhymes together, as well as building their talking and listening skills.
