Using our big muscles while brushing and scrubbing our playground

We play games and learn how to take turns

We are learning our new rhyme TWO LITTLE DICKY BIRDS

Our first week in the Nursery

The nursery class is usually a child’s first formal school experience, designed to prepare our children for learning in the primary school setting and beyond.

The first day at school can be slightly rough for many children who are leaving their familiar environment of their homes for the first time and interacting with other children their age.

As teachers our role on the first day is to incorporate entertaining activities that will ease any child’s anxiety and boost their confidence so they can feel safe enough to explore and use her imagination.
