At Westcliffe we understand that the Early Years Foundation Stage is the most important and influential period of a child’s life. We aim to work closely with our families to ensure that all children have the best start to their education.

SUMMER TERM

This half term our topic will be ‘New Life’. We will be Planting seeds and care for growing plants. We will be learning about the life cycles of a plants and animals. Being respectful and caring is very important to our school and the children will be continuing to learn why it is important to look after the natural world and all living things.

We are going to be finding about information from non-fiction books and enjoying fiction books like ‘Titch’ by Pat Hutchins.

In Maths we will continue to explore numbers, shapes and pattern. We are particularly focusing our learning on more than, fewer than and the same.

Our Nursery learning environment is welcoming, fun and support place where all children can learn and thrive. We ensure children can learn and explore safely, whilst promoting children to develop their self-regulation and independence skills. The children learn through a balance of adult directed activities and child initiated play. All activities are designed to support children to flourish by promoting good learning outcomes as well as ensuring children are having fun.

The Nursery teacher is Mrs Murray and the Early Years Practitioner is Miss Hilton.
