Nursery

The teaching Staff in EYFS

Our EYFS Lead is Mrs Dexter.

Our Class Teacher is Miss Jennings.

Our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Bacon.

Our PPA cover teacher is Mrs Riding.

Timetable

All children in Nursery have daily sessions of Maths, singing, phonics, counting songs, communication and language activities and personal, social and emotional activities. They also follow a weekly timetable of focused tasks consisting of the following:

Monday – RE

Tuesday – Communication and Language/PSED

Wednesday – Literacy

Thursday – Topic – Understanding the World and Expressive Art and Design

Friday – PE

Please ensure your child comes to school with a pair of trainers on a Friday to give them the best opportunity of participating fully in the PE activities.

In EYFS our ethos is to allow the children to always have access to free flow activities both indoors and outdoors in all weathers. We therefore ask that all children come to school with the following items:

• Wellington boots
• Waterproof suit/trousers and coat
• Gloves, hat and scarf for cold weather
• Sunhat for warm weather
• Sun cream for warm weather

Growing

Our topic this term is ‘Growing’. We will be exploring all the different way things grow, such as how we grow, how animals grow, the changes in the world around us and lifecycles.

We will use our creative skills to sing songs about growing and changes, create art work based on what we know from studying how things change and look at the lifecycle of a butterfly and ourselves.

Finally we will be taking a trip to Sherwood Pines to see changes in the seasons and exploring the way the woodland had changed over time.
