Welcome back F1 – we hope you have all had a wonderful Easter break (with lots of chocolate!) and are ready for a whole new term full of exciting activities and lots of brain growing!

The children will be exploring a whole new topic this term: ‘Lifecycles’. We will be exploring the book ‘Daisy and the Egg’ and watch this space… we may be getting some little visitors of our own and ‘hatching’ some wonderful ideas and activities with them. We will be working hard on our fine motor skills to help us to hold our pencils and writing tools with more control – this will help us to practice writing letters, names and labels.

In maths, we will be having lots of fun with measure – looking at height, weight, length and capacity as well as some shapes and patterns.

The weather is hopefully going to start getting warmer this term but remember, we go outside come rain or shine! Our Great British weather is unpredictable so the children will need a coat every day and hopefully even a sun hat! Please ensure your child also has a water bottle each day.

We will continue to use the Tapestry app as our main communication link - ensure you have activated your login and that you check regularly as there will be pictures and key dates and information regarding upcoming events.

We can’t wait to watch the children continue to make their brains grow each day.

Our door is always open so please pop in if you have any questions.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mrs O’Hanlon, Mrs Barber & Miss Plant

F1 and 30-Hour Provision

Our F1 nursery session at St Anne’s runs from 8.50am – 11.50pm and 12.10pm - 3.10pm every day. We offer a teacher led curriculum planned to motivate and encourage your child to learn in a relaxed, friendly and nurturing environment. Our children partake in small group – adult-led activities and also have access to child-initiated learning, both indoors and outdoors.

We are also excited to offer 30-hour funding provision. This enables our children to access a planned curriculum all day. Our full day sessions run from 8.50am-3.10pm, allowing the children a lunchtime and regular planned snack times. Your child is welcome to bring a packed lunch however; we also have the facility to provide a hot or cold lunch at the additional cost of £2.30.

For our 30 Hour children, our afternoon curriculum follows a more creative approach allowing the children to learn in a smaller group environment where there is always lots of fun.

Please make an appointment to come and visit us – we are looking forward to meeting you and your child!
