Our Nursery class is led by Miss Waters supported by our teaching assistants, Mrs Bomba Bennett and Miss Tomes.
Nursery have PE on Monday. Children wear their complimentary Roby Park PE kit to school – white logo tshirt, navy joggers and jacket. In the warmer months, children may want to wear their burgundy shorts.
Children are allocated multiple books weekly on Rising Stars Reading Planet as well as a physical book which is changed weekly, linked to their stage of Reading. Physical books are changed every Monday. We expect children to read for 10 minutes every night and then to complete the end of book comprehension quiz online when they come to the end of their book. You can access Reading Planet here.
We will soon be inviting parents in for ‘Reading is Fun’. Parents can come in at 11.30am every Wednesday and choose a book to take home and read with your child.
Children should share their nursery rhyme of the week with their parents every day. A copy of this can be found in your child’s book bag.
Click on the class curriculum map below to see what exciting topics children will be learning about each half term:

2What an amazing first day of term! Nursery had a wonderful time outside today exploring the snow. We all put our wellies on and wrapped up warm to enjoy some time on the field
LikeHappy New Year to our Roby Park community! We hope you have enjoyed the festivities and are looking forward to all that 2025 brings.
11We want to take this opportunity to wish our whole school community a very merry Christmas.
Thank you for your love and support throughout 2024. It has been an incredible year for Roby Park.
Christmas is not about what is under the tree but who is around it and we can’t wait for the children to return to tell us all about it. Rarely they mention gifts, they mention you. They share their cherished memories of pj days snuggled on the sofa watching movies and eating only chocolate or funny stories of things that happened with their loved ones
Enjoy this special time together, relaxing and making memories and we look forward to seeing you all in the new year
12Merry Christmas! Nursery loved the Christmas disco, we enjoyed dancing and playing games with all our friends!! #RPEnrichment
11Over the last few weeks in Nursery we have been learning about bed time routines, some of us have ordered our bed time routine and discussed our favourite part. We have also been matching amounts to numerals using pegs!

18Due to illness, we postponed yesterday’s @JuniorDukeAward meeting until Thursday. If your child has not returned their journal, please do so by Thursday morning at the latest.

During ADHD Awareness month, we would like to share another photo of our @ADHDFoundation
Umbrella Project. From the ADHD foundation website: The Neurodiversity Umbrella Project is an uplifting visual representation of all the different minds we have here in the UK. Every Umbrella Project installation helps to raise awareness and understanding of neurodiversity. Thousands of colourful umbrellas are strung together over public spaces, in schools, and in company buildings around the nation. Each display is designed to represent the one in five of us who have a neurodevelopmental condition, such as ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia or Tourette’s syndrome. These conditions fall under the umbrella term of neurodiversity. #neurodiversity #ADHDAwarenessMonth2024
30This month is ADHD awareness month. See the link below for some support materials that may help you and your child

Today Nursery enjoyed learning about #WorldMentalHealthDay. We discussed how all feelings are important and drew what makes each of us happy! #HelloYellow24 #RPWellbeing
17Over the past week Nursery have been sorting the leaves they collected by colour. Nursery explored each leaf to see what colours they could see. Together we created a ‘Big Draw’ using the Leaf Man book to help identify each animal the Leaf Man passed when travelling.
20In PE our aim was to show awareness of others when working in a space. Well done nursery!
23This morning in Nursery, something happened. We found a Leaf Man hiding in our garden. We all went to have a look at it and decided to bring it inside. To get it warm we used a blanket and discussed how Leaf Man might have got here and where it might have come from.
25In PE Nursery have really enjoyed learning how to move in different ways and working on their listening skills.
27This week in Nursery we have been learning all about ourselves and our families. We have used the materials from the transient art and crazy creations areas to make people in our families or ourselves!
23To all of our amazing Teaching Assistants, you are worth your weight in gold. Caring, nurturing, supportive, knowledgeable, determined, passionate. Our children are lucky to have you! Thank you!
27Nursery have had an amazing day celebrating European Language Day. We painted and coloured in the Spanish flag, we have watched Spanish dancing and sang head, shoulders, knees and toes in Spanish! We even learnt how to say a few Spanish words!
