Nursery
Welcome to Nursery!
Welcome to Nursery! We’re excited for a fantastic year of learning.
Our team is made up of Miss Morgan, Mrs Jenkins-Davies, Miss Davies, Mrs Kinga and Miss Maddick, and we will be teaching and supporting your children throughout the year.
This Term's Learning
This spring term, our Nursery children will continue their learning journey by exploring the exciting topic of space. Through stories, play and hands-on activities, we will be sparking curiosity and encouraging children to use their imagination as they learn about planets, stars and astronauts. Alongside this, we will be focusing on the character strength of bravery, helping children to grow in confidence as they try new things, explore new ideas and take part in new experiences. They will practise identifying emotions, and developing problem-solving skills. The story also supports resilience and a growth mindset, showing children that courage means trying even when something feels scary.
Last Term's Learning
Nursery children have had a wonderful start to the school year, settling happily into school life and enjoying a wide range of engaging learning experiences across the curriculum. This term, our main focus has been supporting children, especially those attending school for the first time, to feel safe, confident and happy as part of our Nursery community.
In Language, Literacy and Communication, children have been developing their early communication and phonics skills through the Monster Phonics programme. They have taken part in sound recognition activities, mark making, practising pre-writing shapes and enjoying regular library visits. Through our All About Me theme, children have listened to stories, shared ideas, and enjoyed talking about themselves and their families.
In Mathematics and Numeracy, pupils have explored early number skills through number and shape recognition, counting activities, and sorting and matching tasks. These practical experiences have helped children begin to build strong foundations in mathematical thinking.
In Humanities, we have been learning about the changing seasons, observing how the world changes throughout autumn and winter. Children have explored seasonal weather, natural changes outdoors, and have enjoyed discussing what they notice in their environment.
For Science and Technology, pupils have carried out simple winter-themed investigations, encouraging curiosity and early scientific thinking through hands-on exploration and discussion.
In Expressive Arts, children have enjoyed a range of creative activities linked to seasonal themes, using different materials and techniques to express their ideas and develop fine motor skills.
In Health and Wellbeing, children have developed physical confidence through SKIP Cymru, fundamental movement skills and outdoor learning. They have also been learning important social skills such as kindness, cooperation, sharing and taking turns, helping to build positive friendships and relationships within the classroom.
Overall, it has been a positive and memorable first term in Nursery, and the children have made fantastic progress across all areas of their learning.
