Respectful

We look after each other and the school property.

We take care in all that we do.

We listen carefully so that we are safe at all times.

We use our kind hands and we follow the instructions all of the time.

Communication and Language

Working on building your child’s communication and language is at the heart of everything we do in Nursery.

We are working hard in Nursery to improve communication by developing our speaking and listening skills. We will be continuing to share and learn different action rhymes, stories and songs.

Each week, we will set homework on Class Dojo. Our story and rhyme of the week will be set as homework to help develop their communication and language at home too. We love to see homework completed each week!

Please click here to find our summer term newsletter with information about our topics and key dates this term.

If you do have any queries or need any further support then please don't hesitate to message your child's class teacher via Class dojo.
