A Typical Day in Nursery:

As soon as the children arrive, they can explore the activities provided whilst the register is completed. They are encouraged to put their belongings in their designated locker, independently and their drinks bottle and snack in the designated area.

 

There is a short whole class session learning nursery rhymes, sharing a traditional tale or completing a phonics session then child-initiated and adult-led activities are completed.

Here are our Roundswell children talking excitedly about their school days to encourage more children to join them!

Please visit the links above for helpful guidance on your child starting school. The  guides cover topics like getting to and from school safely, what to do when you first get into school such as where to put your bags and hang your coat etc, and what happens at lunch times. It's an informative but fun way to speak to your child about their new journey in school life.

Twice a week, we attend whole school assemblies. At different times in the week, we also have two PE lessons, a PSHE lesson, an RE lesson, a Music lesson and learning linked to our topic. We have a balance of adult-led learning and child-initiated learning throughout the day using a mixture of learning inside the classroom and learning in our outdoor area. 

Below are some books we recommend to help your child with starting school.
