Welcome to the Nursery home learning page. Due to the school’s closure, we have had to explore different routes to provide education during these challenging times. Here, you will find our initial letter home with ideas for some work to be carried out, where possible, along with some support booklets, documents and links that will help to keep the progress going. We understand that it is important for young children to have the opportunity to learn through play and exploration so your child might not be able to complete everything. There will be regular updates with new content so do please keep checking in.
Best wishes at this difficult time.

For younger nursery children try this: Can you find any bugs in your outdoor area? What would be a silly sound for that bug to make?
Literacy:
Watch the story of Superworm; talk about the parts of the story you liked best, what happened in the story and what might happen next.
