It has been a wonderful week in our Nursery, filled with laughter, curiosity, and fantastic discoveries. Our youngest learners have been fully engaged in a wide range of play-based activities, which is a cornerstone of our early years' philosophy. We believe that play is not just fun; it's how children learn best.

This week, our pupils have been architects, building magnificent towers with blocks, and budding scientists, mixing potions in the mud kitchen. They've also been storytellers, creating adventures in the role-play corner, and artists, getting wonderfully messy with paint and glitter. Each of these activities, while seemingly simple, is a vital opportunity for them to develop key skills like problem-solving, communication, and collaboration.

Seeing the children so happy and confident as they lead their own learning is truly a joy. Our dedicated staff are there to support and guide them, but the real learning comes from the children's own imaginations and interests.

We are so proud of our little learners and the wonderful progress they are making. They are building a strong foundation for their future education, all while having a brilliant time!

Each year we invite parents into school for Stay & Do... events.  These special sessions allow you to see your child take part in a lesson.  You can see how happy and comfortable your child is in class, and how they enjoy their learning - the children are always very proud to show off their work!  It also gives you a chance to see how we teach, so you have a better insight into your child's learning.

This half term, we're inviting you to Stay & Do... Reading for Pleasure on Wednesday the 24th of September.  Come along, find a cosy spot, and enjoy 20 minutes of reading for pleasure with your child. It's the perfect way to share the magic of books and help us grow a love for reading together.

Our pupils are working hard to prepare songs, poems, and readings that capture the spirit of autumn and thanks. It's always a wonderfully heartwarming event, and we would be thrilled for you to join us.
