Nursery - Mrs Reilly
Welcome to Our Lady of the Wayside Nursery
With Mrs Reilly and Mrs McGrillen
Welcome to our Autumn Term in Nursery!
Our curriculum is designed to stimulate and inspire our children through real context that excites and engages them in learning. We use a knowledge based curriculum that is underpinned by our school values and catholic social teaching. The curriculum is designed sequentially to build on prior learning and prepare our children for the next stage in their education. Through visits, visitors and real life learning we develop cultural capital. Communication and language is at the heart of our curriculum; it underpins all aspects of learning to equip children with the knowledge, skill and confidence to share, develop and extend their learning.
Below our Curriculum map shows how we will develop our skills and knowledge across the areas of the EYFS. We will learning all about the season of Autumn! Take a look at our Autumn sideshow at the bottom of the page!
Teaching and Learning during our Autumn Term
In RE we will be learning all about God our Father who loves and cares for us, through pray and appreciating everyone that God created including our family.
In Maths we will continue to count in rote, match, compare and we will be introduced to our Numberblock friends 1-5!
We will also be creating some beautiful two colour patterns and exploring size comparison through our stories of Goldilocks and The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
The Nursery Team
EYFS at Our Lady of the Wayside
At Our Lady of the Wayside our curriculum is designed in a sequential way from when children join us at the start of Nursery until they move into KS1 at the end of Reception. Below details the skills, development and knowledge we want our children to know, understand and do at the end of each term. This follows the progression within Development Matters.
Little Wandle Foundations
In Nursery we follow Little Wandle Foundations, this focuses on oral blending, sharing stories and singing rhymes. It is part of the Little Wandle Foundations program that helps get children ready for the main Little Wandle program as they enter Reception.
We have a real love for learning through our story time sessions, please find below our core texts for our Summer Term.
