Skippers - Nursery

Welcome to Nursery!

A very warm welcome to our Nursery class. Our Nursery class is called Skippers and is taught by Miss Stachg and supported by our wonderful Early Years Practitioners, Mrs Jones and Miss Surridge.

PE Days

Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday. Children should come to school wearing their PE kit on these days and will remain in it for the whole school day. As the weather changes, please make sure your child has suitable PE clothing so they can take part comfortably in all our activities, whatever the weather.

Library Time

We visit our school library every Monday morning. This is a lovely opportunity for children to explore different books and choose one they are interested in and would enjoy sharing at home. We want to encourage a love of books and help children discover the joy of reading for pleasure. If your child would like to borrow a book, please remember to return it to school on Monday morning so they can choose a new one.

Give Me Ten

We encourage all children to enjoy at least ten minutes of reading every day. In Nursery, this means spending a little special time sharing a book with a grown up. You can read the story together, talk about the pictures, discuss or simply enjoy looking at the book. Please record your reading time in your child's reading record and make sure it comes into school every day.

We love celebrating our young readers! We hope to see lots of children becoming Reading Champions this year and celebrating their achievements in our Friday celebration assemblies. Remember, every story shared is a step towards a lifelong love of reading!
