Nursery

Home > Children  > Year Groups > Nursery

At St Matthias, we want our children to know who they are; ask questions about the world around them; use their voices to make a difference and aspire to greatness. Look through this page to see how we are doing this in Nursery.

Welcome Nursery!

Welcome to the Nursery homepage. Mrs Cherid, Ms Ruddiman and Ms Seymour are really excited to share lots of learning with you this year.

To see an overview of all of the things we will cover this year, please see our YN Half term Curriculum Overview Spring 2

We are also incredibly proud of the love of reading that we promote within our school and you can see all of the wonderful books we read throughout the year here.

Key Messages

Drop off and collection from school is from the main gate on Wordsworth Road. The gates are open from 8:30-8:45 in the morning and from 3:30-3:45 in the afternoon. Children who finish early need to be collected by 12:00.

PE is on every Wednesday afternoon; children can wear their PE kit all day.

Nursery clubs are:

  • Creative every Monday until 4:30
  • Sports every Tuesday until 4:30

Homework

Every Friday, we will set you homework using Google Classroom. It will be the same link every week and the activities will be updated. Homework needs to be completed by Wednesday.

If you need any help accessing Google Classroom, please visit here.

Reminders

Please ensure your child brings in a labelled water bottle every day.

Please make sure all of your child’s clothing and possessions are labelled clearly with their name and year group.

Your child will be given a story book to read at home, please make sure you return it as soon as you’re finished so that a new story can be given to you.
