Miss Begley
Welcome to Nursery! While Miss Thurley is on maternity leave the nursery class is taught by Mrs Mann and supported by Mrs Hissey, Miss Begley and Miss Greatbach.
Our first topic, in the Autumn, is Nursery Rhymes. The children have all settled in well, and have really enjoyed learning all about spiders in our first couple of weeks, linked to the nursery rhymes “Little Miss Muffet” and “Incy Wincy Spider.”
You can find our weekly timetable and curriculum overviews below.
