Homework
We do not send 'formal' homework each week but we do encourage children to continue learning through play at home.
Library
You can borrow books from our outside book castle or our inside library. Daily reading supports your child's development! We want all children to develop their love of books and reading. There is a good range of books; There are fiction (story) books and non-fiction (information) books, we try and cater for all likes and interests that children are invited to borrow. We just ask that books are signed out and in.
We also have an adult library for parents and carers. For this, we ask that you bring and leave a book as you take another.
Each half term we send home a learning challenge- this is a curriculum based activity for children to enjoy completing with their grown ups. Children bring the results into Nursery to celebrate and share with their class.
