Welcome to our F1 class page – we hope you have all had a fantastic half term and are ready to come back to our lovely class. We have a great term planned, full of exciting activities and lots of brain growing!

This half term, we will be exploring the season of Autumn through our class books ‘Percy the Park Keeper – Hide and Seek’ and ‘Wow! said the Owl’. We will be learning about different woodland creatures that live in Percy’s park and investigating a variety of ‘autumn treasures’. We are having a lovely hedgehog workshop with Jacksons Animal Rescue where we will learn how to care for and feed hedgehogs and other woodland animals and we will be making lots of woodland creature craft. We are also super excited to build up to the Christmas period with lots of festive activities and reflection on the Christmas Story and the birth of Jesus.

 We love going outside in our EYFS and we have an amazing new outdoor area so we will be learning outside come rain or shine (or hopefully even snow)! Unfortunately, our Great British weather is unpredictable so the children will need a raincoat and wellies (these can be left in school) every day. Please ensure your child also has a water bottle each day.

We will continue to use the Tapestry app as our main communication link – please ensure you have activated your login and that you check regularly as there will be pictures and key dates and information regarding upcoming events. Please ask us if you need any support with this and we will do our best to help you.

We can’t wait to continue working with your wonderful children and watch them 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 and Miss Hogg

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!
