God made me so I am special

Nursery and Reception

Welcome to Early Years Foundation Stage

Miss Harwood, Mrs McGrory and Mrs Ledbrook (Nursery team)

Mrs Goodwin, Mrs Gilligan and  Miss Steele (Reception team)

We love to learn and explore through play in a safe and secure environment. We are always developing our independent skills to enable us to be school ready. 

We are learning all the time to be kind and caring to one another, following in Jesus' footsteps.

Our Class Vocational Statement is 'God made me so I am special.' Our Class Saints are:

• St. Anne (Nursery)
• St. Joseph (Reception).

In Nursery and Reception we cover all 7 areas of learning. The Prime Areas are Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development and Communication and Language. The Specific Areas are Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design. 

We provide an opportunity for the children in all year groups to access a broad and balanced 'Discovery Learning' curriculum. Children have an input on their learning and teachers ensure the skills and progression are in place, building upon the knowledge of previous years. Part of our curriculum will involve trips or visitors to enrich the children's learning; supporting the children to become immersed in their learning, helping them to know more and remember more.

Full details of the school's curriculum can be found on https://www.st-augustines.solihull.sch.uk/curriculum/ indicating Long term plans, knowledge organisers and core subject coverage/expectations. 

PE Days

Nursery Autumn term PE day: Tuesday & Wednesday

Reception Autumn term PE days: Monday & Friday

Nursery children need to bring a PE bag containing their pumps and leave on their peg. 

As part of the Foundation Stage Curriculum the children in Reception will be getting changed for their PE sessions in the Autumn term. Please ensure your child brings their PE bag with shorts, t-shirt and pumps in the first week of term and this can then be left in their locker. 

All items need to be named.

Reception children can come into school wearing their PE kit on their PE days from the Spring Term.
