Nightingales (Nursery)
In the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) at Micklefield CE Primary School our aims are to:
• support children to make a planned, confident transition into school
• provide a happy, caring, safe and secure environment for learning
• plan learning experiences that meet the individual needs and interests of your children through a balanced provision of adult led and child initiated opportunities
• support children to become competent and confident learners so they are able to reach their full potential
• provide a broad and balanced high quality curriculum in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage guidance
• foster positive home school links with parents and carers.
We welcome children from the term after they turn three through to the end of Reception on a journey of discovery and exploration. Nursery children are encouraged to initiate their own learning through play supported by skilled adults as well as engaging in regular group and whole-class activities. This balance of opportunities for awe and wonder alongside carefully planned directed activities ensures each child is given the opportunity and support to make progress.
we love books!
As part of our English curriculum in Nursery we choose a range of books we know the children will love reading and will help to broaden their language and vocabulary. We get to know these books really well, so the children can retell them and then use them as a basis to write our own new stories together. Here are some we have chosen so far this year.
