Week ending

What we have been learning about

12/9/25 Welcome to our redesigned nursery! It is lovely to have children back in now all the new resources are in place and the paint has dried! How lucky this class is to be the first to cross the threshold. Welcome to the new starters and tiny 2's who have come for settling in sessions, and welcome back to those of you who were with us last year. We have been very impressed with how well everyone has come in, even those with tears! We understand how difficult it is to be separated from family, and tears are part of a healthy response in adjusting to trusting new people. We are already seeing progress in just a few days and anticipate everyone feeling confident in no time at all! The learning this week has centred around familiarity with the continuous provision available and routines to accommodate everyone's needs. Next week we will start the first Power of Reading Text. We can't wait!
