Welcome to Pre-School 

 

We are excited for another fun-filled term of learning and exploration in Pre-School. We will continue to strive to make your child’s first experience in education special and continue to develop their relationship with their teacher and other learning support assistants, who will support them and ensure that their emotional and academic needs are met daily. Our aim is for your children to become confident learners and to carry their love of learning throughout their lives. 

Meet the team:

Mrs Whitehead – Class Teacher

Mrs Bradshaw – Learning Support Assistant

Miss Davies – Learning Support Assistant

Miss Snelson – Learning Support Assistant

Miss Hardy – Learning Support Assistant

 

Summer Term

Our Summer theme is ‘Courage’ which we will base the children’s learning around. As our school year progresses, we will encourage the children to be courageous, and begin to explore what it means to be brave. 

Our curriculum will be inspired by our Summer Bookshelf which is filled with exciting, high-quality texts. The first text we will read is, ‘Tad’ by Benji Davies. 

We will also read this book, to support us in the exciting next step of our education; starting Reception.
