A Typical Day in Nursery:

As soon as the children arrive, they can explore the activities provided whilst the register is completed. They are encouraged to put their belongings in their designated locker, independently and their drinks bottle and snack in the designated area.

There is a short whole class session learning new vocabulary, nursery rhymes, sharing a traditional tale or completing a phonics session then child-initiated and adult-led activities are completed.

Story, singing or reviewing our learning

Lunchtime

There is a short whole class session which is based on language. The children are then encouraged to take part in child-initiated or adult-led activities.

A range of activities are provided throughout the day based on the seven areas of learning. Learning is completed inside the classroom and in our outside area.

Here are some children taking part in a group activity using our smart board. You can see in one of the photos, that Miss Cooper is holding a puppet. We have several puppets, including; Non-negotiable Ned, Superpower Sam, Teamwork Tallulah and Communicating Claude. All the children have an introduction to our puppets and aim to be like them. If they have taken part in a group activity and been fantastic at working as part of a team, Mrs Pile may say that you have been great at being a 'Teamwork Tallulah' today.
There is also a 'Star of the Week' which the children in the rest of the school also work towards. Each week, a different child will receive a certificate showing that they have been awarded 'Star of the Week' and a reason why they have been chosen.
