Our Nursery Children
Each half term we explore a different topic in FS1. We work alongside FS2 and cover a variety of themes on a 2 year cycle.
Our topics for this school year are ...
Autumn 1 - Me and my senses
Autumn 2 - Celebrations
Spring 1 - Winter days
Spring 2 - People who help us
Summer 1 - Bears
Summer 2 - In a land far, far away
We plan and provide activities and experiences linked to our topic covering all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). We carefully observe the children at play and build upon their individual interests.
In FS1 we initially focus mainly on the 3 prime areas of the EYFS.
These are ...
Personal, social and emotional development
Communication and language
Physical Development
These areas are seen as the building blocks, the foundations for learning so that our children are ready and confident for the challenges ahead.
The specific areas of learning are ...
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the world
Expressive arts and design
If you would like to find out more about the EYFS and how to help your child at home, please see the link below 'What to expect, when?' a useful document for parents, providing information on what to expect your child to be doing and how you can help them on their learning journey.
If you are worried or concerned about your child's development, please don't hesitate to talk to us. We are always here to listen and will try to help wherever we can.

google translate is a good start but you could also try.
