Nursery

Miss Greatbach
Welcome to Nursery! While Miss Thurley is on maternity leave the nursery class is taught by Mrs Mann and supported by Mrs Hissey, Miss Greatbach and Mrs Hitchins.
The children have all settled really well and have had a great half term learning about our favourite nursery rhymes. We ended the half term with a week exploring the theme of Autumn, culminating in a Pumpkin Party celebration day as our prize for reaching our class Dojo target.
This week we took part in Shakespeare Week with the rest of the school, so our activities were based on the play Romeo and Juliet. Our topic for the rest of the half term will be “Festivals and Celebrations.”
The first celebration we are learning about is Bonfire Night.
