Nursery

Hello Nursery,

Just a little message to say we (Mrs Barratt, Mrs Hartley and me) are thinking of you all and we miss each and every one of you.

Your smiles, stories and antics bring us joy and happiness day to day. We hope we are together again soon.

I will do my best to continue to support you and your families as we wade through uncharted territory. I hope you are all safe and healthy.

School is important but so is your health. Take care of yourself and your families (from a safe distance of course). No matter what happens this year, be proud of yourself, your resilience, and your ability to adapt to extreme circumstances.

I want every one of you to look outside or go in your garden (if you can) and look at how beautiful our world is. Make some art, even if it’s just drawing a picture. Glue/tape recycled things together to make a model. Bake cookies and cakes and decorate them. We just want you all to be able to have fun despite the craziness going on in our outside world at this present time.

Please share some of your favourite activities on Tapestry so I can see what you have been doing.

Stay Safe,

Miss Sharkey

National Sports Week

The week commencing 22/06/20 is National School Sports Week. Below I have a created some fun activities for you to challenge yourself and be involved in over the course of the week. If you do participate please take a photograph or video and share this with me via Tapestry. 

Message

I have had some messages/photographs from your Nursery friends which I would like to share with you. In the photographs they have been showing me the fun activities they have been enjoying at home. I have been sent these photographs via Tapestry. I am sure you are all missing each other so hopefully these will put a smile on your face as it has on Mrs Barratt's, Mrs Hartley's and mine.

Please continue over the coming weeks uploading to Tapestry, so that we can see all of the wonderful things that you have been enjoying at home.

Welcome to Nursery

Welcome to our Nursery at St Mary’s C of E Primary School.

It is the beginning of an exciting and fun filled year ahead.

 The Nursery staff are looking forward to working with both you and your children.

In Nursery we are very fortunate to have three members of staff:

Teacher – Miss C Sharkey

Teaching Assistants – Mrs P Barratt and Mrs G Hartley

As well as being taught as a class, Nursery also work closely with the Reception staff and children.

We recognise that a child’s first impression of the world begins at home. Therefore it is important that both the Nursery and Parents work together in a close partnership to support your children's learning and development inside and outside the learning environment.

If Parents/Teachers have any issues or concerns, we would like this to be communicated with the staff in order to resolve matters as soon as possible.

Also if your child has positively achieved something at home, please let us know verbally, by writing it down on a piece of paper or by sending in a photograph.

At St Mary's the Nursery staff enjoy every minute in the company of the children by having fun, and by helping them develop their own unique characteristics to form the individuals that they will become.

Everyday is new and exciting as we learn and grow together!

Topics:

In Nursery we cover a variety of topics. 
Our topics this year are:

  * Autumn 1 - All about me

  * Autumn 2 - Christmas

  * Spring 1 - People who help us

  * Spring 2 - Fairy Stories

  * Summer 1 - Minibeasts and Growth

  * Summer 2 -  The Zoo

Useful Websites to support your children:

On Friday mornings, we are having Little Bikers in to help with our physical development.

The outcome of this is that the children will become more confident on a balance bike and eventually ride a pedal bike.

Thank you for all your support this half term. The Nursery Team would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Looking forward to working with you all in 2020!

Enjoy the break!
