Welcome to Nursery

Our Creative Curriculum topics in Nursery.

All of your teachers are missing you so very much, we shall be making short video clips to share with you. We hope you enjoy them.

Our 1000 Stories initiative will continue with you all choosing a book to read daily from home, still using the same format but you can choose your own books! Remember to write down a 'new' or 'tricky' word from each book to add to your word bank and keep re-visiting. Just think how many new words you are learning!

One of our mom's has said it would be really uplifting when they go out for a walk (Whilst Social Distancing) to see all of your creative rainbows in the community.

Do you know how many colours make a rainbow?  There are seven colours. 

Can you name the colours? The colours never change in the spectrum;

Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet.
