Our first topic focuses on Harvest time and Autumn and considers seasonal changes and introduces the question of where our food actually comes from. We will also be thinking about those less fortunate than ourselves and how we can help in any small way.

This is a guide to what a day in Nursery usually looks like. A little bit of structure is good preparation for school life. Group work teaches children the importance of listening to others, turn taking and working collaboratively. Children develop at different rates and have different learning styles so targeted learning enables us to meet the individual needs of each child.

This booklet contains lots of useful information and will hopefully answer many of the questions you may have about your child starting Nursery.
This reads alongside our school policies which can be found on the Policy page of our website

My name is Michelle Stewart and I am the SENCO, based in school for 3 days a week. I work closely with school staff to identify any children who may need some additional support in class and ensure that this support is put in place as soon as possible. This may be a short-term intervention or long term, ongoing support. This includes learning needs, making sure they have any necessary equipment or making any referrals to experts outside of school. You, as parents, can also contact me to discuss any concerns you may have.

Items of clothing often go missing at school but they are much easier to return if they are clearly labelled.

We would really appreciate if you could label as much as possible. There are 52 children within the nursery building over the course of the day

Please ensure all items are labelled with stickers, iron in labels or pen. This includes uniform, shoes, wellies, hats.

We really want to get to know your child and understand what their interests are. This allows us to make sure we are providing engaging activities and resources which your child will love, which in turn will help them to feel at home in Nursery.

If possible can you also include a recent photo, so that we can greet your child by name straightway.

Forms can be returned to us via post or email, or handed in when you join us for your first Stay and Play session.

We go outside in all types of weather. We only have a set amount of waterproof suits but we know the value of splashing in puddles, playing in the snow and sliding in the mud.

If you would like to keep a bag of wet weather clothes on your child's peg this would be very valuable to ensuring they can go outside each day.

Wellies can be kept under each child's peg.

We often get mixed up or lost shoes so here is a fantastic tip to help you out!

To help your child identify their own shoes, cut a sticker and place half on the inside of each shoe. This will also ensure that they put their shoes on the correct feet!

About Mrs Nixon...

Hi! My name is Mrs Nixon and I am the Nursery teacher here at Bessacarr Primary School. I absolutely adore working in Nursery where we get to learn whilst having fun and no two days are the same. The Early Years team is a real family and I feel blessed that my colleagues are also great friends.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, swimming and going for walks with my dog Millie. I have four children and, on the rare days when our busy lives allow, we can often be found at a theme park riding scary rides or exploring caves at the beach.

I am a big kid at heart and am just as excited to learn as the children. I love topic work where we can explore nature and the amazing world around us. I want the children to develop a love of learning and nurture a 'can do' attitude where they are happy to have a go at anything and not afraid to make mistakes.

I feel privileged to be joining you on the start of your school journey and can't wait to meet you all. See you in September!
