Ladygrove Park Primary School

Growing Excellence, Inspiring Success

Nursery

 

Welcome to our Nursery, part of our Early Years Foundation Stage

At Ladygrove Park, in our Early Years setting, we aim to support the children by;

  • Providing an enabling environment, so that they will develop and practise their skills, develop their own interests, creativity and independence;
  • Building positive relationships with peers and adults, so that they will feel safe, develop their confidence and resilience to be able to collaborate with others;
  • Providing rich experiences to encourage children's curiosity, so that children deepen their understanding of our culturally, socially, technologically and ecologically diverse world;
  • Participating in quality interactions within a language rich environment, so that the children will grow their vocabulary and develop early language skills and communicate effectively; 
  • Sharing aspirational expectations, so that children are challenged to move their thinking and learning on to their next steps and are able to build on their prior knowledge and make links to new learning.

"We are a team and we work hard together. We are all equal to each other."

Tim Peake (first British astronaut to visit the International Space Station)

 

This term our theme will be Summer and The Seaside and the children will be learning about the seaside environment and the animals that live there. We are planning a ‘Beach Experience’, when the children can come into school in beachwear (e.g. shorts and t-shirt). They will get wet and sandy! The children last year had an amazing afternoon. Please bring in an extra bag of spare clothes on this day. We are looking at one of the first weeks in June. This will only go ahead in hot weather and we will aim to give you at least 2 days notice, as we keep an eye on the weather forecast. So please look out for this and share with other parents.

We will be having our own Sports afternoon with Mr Humphries (the school’s Sports Coach), this term (date to be confirmed), where we will be exploring different structured
physical activities. We will be having little visits into Class 2 and 3 and getting ready for the transition to school in September and the teachers will be coming in to read us stories.

Our last day of term for Class 1 is Wednesday 17th July (the week before the rest of the school.)

Our Big Idea this term is Truth and we would be talking about what the truth is and why it is important to be truthful and honest.

Our Role Models this term are Ourselves, as citizens in our community, helping to make sure we are kind and conscious of the environment and how we can help keep our
planet healthy.
