Welcome to our F1 class page – we hope you have all had a fantastic Christmas with your lovely families and are ready to come back to our our class ready for a fresh new year full of fun and learning. 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 winter through our class books ‘I Can Fly’ and ‘Bear Snores On’. We will be learning about animals in cold weather and countries and how they adapt to survive in the winter. We will be making icebergs and igloos, exploring facts and information about penguins and bears and role playing different characters from both of the stories. We have enjoyed learning colours, patterns and numbers 1-2 so far in Maths and we cannot wait to continue developing the skills we have already learnt. We will also be looking at numbers 3, 4 and 5 this term.

 We love going outside in our EYFS and we are still enjoying our amazing new outdoor area and all it has to offer, 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.

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!
