Summer Planning – Why we do what we do (our beginning)

As a staff team we continuously review the opportunities and experiences our children have been exposed to throughout the year. This gives us great insight into areas that have been well covered such as literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing and areas that could be doing with further exploration. Unfortunately due to Covid-19 restrictions a lot of our more social and creative areas weren’t as explored as we would have liked, therefore there will be lots of opportunity throughout the coming weeks for each child to experience these through play, provocation and good old curiosity. Each week a member of our team will upload a recap of this onto each child’s individual online profile. This gives families a chance to see all the curricular areas that have been covered whilst our children simply feel like they have been having fun with their friends – exactly how it should be!

Individual next steps for children have now been closed and for the duration of the Summer the children’s learning will be tracked focusing more on breadth and depth of experience/opportunity appose to individual progression and development – please do not be confused by this though, we will still be scaffolding and tracking each child’s learning, just using a more holistic/generic approach to do so.

Supporting Transition

As your children prepare to embark on their next big adventure, it is important to us that we give them the best possible start, sending them on their way feeling confident, secure and excited for the journey.

Over the past few weeks we have been gently touching more and more on the transitional aspect of this, offering children the opportunity to explore what school may be like, through discussion and play. We even had a playground visit from a real Primary 1 teacher!!

The coming weeks will see this become the main focus of your child’s learning journey. We will support them emotionally for this, creating a space where they can be exposed to different aspects of school life, ask questions and build their confidence, enabling them to independently take the big step from Nursery life to School.

As with everything there will be plenty of opportunity for your children to explore this through play experiences… so please fully expect your children to be bringing you the homework, as they transform from pre-schooler to ‘the teacher’ overnight.

It is essential for your child’s well-being that we work together during this period to ensure your child’s transition to school is as smooth as possible. If your child mentions anything they are worried or excited about then please let us know. This will enable us to address your child’s individual concerns or interests.
