Cooking Up a Feast at Forest School!

The children in nursery always have a nutritional snack each day at nursery.

Throughout the year they learn how to prepare and make a range of dishes, which gives them the prerequisite knowledge to thrive as humans, great fine-motor practise and some early design technology skills.

The staff make considered choices about what they offer children in order to widen their knowledge of types of food and their appetites.

Recently, we have been cooking plants as part of our Understanding of the World topic. The staff and children also made Nigerian inspired Jollof rice as they learnt all about countries in West Africa.

Welcome to our Early Years

Learning without limits is our mantra!

We are so pleased to welcome you to our Early Years team!

We have a team of experienced and dedicated educators to support your children in their first experiences at our school.

Timetable

Please see the attached timetables. We believe in strong routines to support children’s self-regulation skills. However, it is also a life skill to adapt to changes and your child’s teacher will inform you of any changes.

Curriculum

Our thoughtful curriculum is sequenced in order to address what children know and build on this. We have three focus projects that meet our children’s needs and teach them the characteristics of being a good learner, while also giving them knowledge to support their transition into Year 1.

Please see our Curriculum Overview for more information.

Seesaw

Seesaw is our online learning platform and is where we will put any information that we need to share. Please sign up to view your child’s journal as you will get a great insight into what they are up to at school. We regularly upload videos of teachers sharing our key texts and the phonics focus for the week. You are encouraged to share your child’s home reading too. We also regularly send home challenges in order to understand your child’s life and inspire our learning in school.
