Summer collection

EYFS In Nursery we follow the EYFSP, a copy of which is on our website. There are 17 areas of learning made up of 3 specific areas: Personal Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development, Communication & Language and 4 prime areas: Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, Ex- pressive Arts and Design. The activities in nursery are designed to ena- ble children to develop across all of these are- as of learning. Children will become independent learners and make choices about their activities, balanced with an appropriate range of adult-led learn- ing.

Through these topics we will be encouraging the children to be observant, ask questions, explore their surroundings and take care of living things. We will go on a minibeast hunt, watch the changes that occur within the natural world and hatch caterpillars to experience, first hand the life cycle of a butterfly! The children will be engaging in a variety of creative activities through music making, dance, cooking, craft and role play. They will be travelling far and wide on all sorts of transport. We may even go on a trip to the Moon or on a magic carpet ride! We will enjoy a range of planned, educational visits such as a visit from the Animal man and a trip to Severn Valley Railway. We look forward to sharing the final term with the children and their families in what looks like another very hectic but thoroughly enjoyable journey!
