A very warm welcome to Cygnet & Swan Class 

Nursery is your child’s first exciting step as they begin their school journey.  Our main aim during the initial weeks is to ensure that each child feels safe, settled and secure where they develop positive relationships and bonds with those around them. By the end of the first term you’ll be amazed by their confidence and ability.

At Pen Mill, we know and understand that children learn rapidly through rich opportunities, where they explore, investigate and discover. Our topic based curriculum provides activities that are engaging, meaningful and fun. In order to achieve this, we carefully plan a progressive curriculum, guided by the children’s interests’ and questions to ensure all pupils succeed. We provide many hands on experiences and with the right balance of challenge and support. Children are actively involved in a range of memorable learning experiences which promote creativity, independence and enjoyment.

This week in swan class the pre school children have been celebrating World Nursery Rhyme week. They have been learning a new rhyme every day and explored different activities based on the rhymes. 
The rhymes we have been learning are;
1,2,3,4,5 once I caught a fish alive
       
Incy wincy spider 
  
Humpty Dumpty
   
Miss Polly had a dolly
   
5 little ducks
  
 
The activities provided have enabled the children to develop their fine motor skills, use their imagination and express their own ideas in their play. We have had a great week celebrating. 

 Cygnet and Swan class will be learning through a variety of adult led and child led opportunities. You will be able to see all the exciting things we get up to on tapestry log in and check it out!
