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)
Term 3’s enquiry question is ‘Who Helps Us?’ We will be having some visits from different people who have jobs that involve helping people in our community, as well as making ourselves aware of how we can help each other when we are in school. We will also turn our role play area into a doctor's surgery.
We will also be looking at the season of Winter, asking ourselves the question ‘What is winter?’ We will be artists and talking about what we wear to keep warm and incorporating this into various other activities.
We will be engineers and exploring junk modelling and begin to learn how we can use and combine different materials to create something new.
