Mercury Nursery
Hello, welcome to Mercury Class. This is our nursery class for children aged 3-4 years.
Children in nursery learn “In the Moment.” This means that children are free to choose what they do from the carefully planned resources both inside and outside nursery. Teaching staff join them to support their play, observe, enhance learning by asking thoughtful questions and extend learning by working with the children on their next steps – a “teachable moment.”
Alongside this there will be times when children sit together on the carpet for more “formal” teaching. These include registration time, phonics and maths teaching, circle time, stories and rhymes, “dough disco.” These activities are spread across the week and the children sit for short activities at the beginning and end of the session.
In the Autumn Term we will be focusing on the topic of “Healthy Body, Healthy Mind.” We will talk about ourselves, our families and our feelings. We will learn what being healthy means and how we can keep ourselves healthy. This is a lovely topic to start the school year.
