Welcome to Nursery

Our Nursery consists of part time and full time children.

Miss Baker is our Nursery class teacher and she is also our Nursery Manager.

Miss GG is our teaching assistant who supports in Nursery all week.

We also have Miss Savage and Miss Flook (both teaching assistants) who also help in Nursery.

Miss Savage supports in Nursery every morning and Miss Flook supports in Nursery every afternoon.

In Nursery we provide lots of opportunities for the children to build their confidence and self-awareness, and also to manage their feelings and behaviour. Communication is a key area of your child's learning in nursery. They will spend lots of time sharing rhymes, songs, stories and playing games to develop their speaking and listening skills.

We are lucky to have a newly renovated outdoor area and the children have access to this space throughout the day, we also share this area with Reception.

Timetable

Below you will find our current timetable for the week.

Class Code

Our Class Charter and our RICHER values are very important to us in Nursery.

We have worked together to set out our classroom rules and we remind each other of them daily to ensure that we have a happy and caring classroom!

Our Experiences 

Below you will find photos of our experiences throughout the year, from special days to theme weeks to educational visits! 

Our Nursery children have settled really well into life at River View! This week the children have been learning about the importance of washing and drying their hands thoroughly. They are becoming increasingly independent each day. Take a look at our pictures.

Homework

Every term your child will receive a copy of their Star Homework Project, these home learning activities are linked to our topics.

You will be given a paper copy  and you will also be able to find a copy of this homework on Tapestry.

Once your child has completed a homework challenge, you can upload a picture or video onto Tapestry in order for their homework stars to be awarded. 

We also use star stickers in class to award children for positive behaviour and amazing work.

Online Safety

Online safety is an important aspect of everyday life. Throughout the year, we take opportunities to educate children on the importance of online safety.

Useful Links for Home

In the Summer term before your child starts Reception, they will start to participate in a daily phonics session. They will begin to learn their Set 1 sounds to help get them ready for Reception.

At River View we follow a phonics scheme called 'Read, Write, Inc', sometimes you may see this shortened to 'RWI'. Please find some useful videos below which will help you understand the programme.
