Over the past week in Cathedral Nursery Class, our young learners have been developing their independence and learning how to keep themselves safe when using a variety of resources in and out of nursery.

Our new-starts have been developing an awareness of nursery rules and routines and these young learners now know which group they belong to and the symbol and colour that relates to their group. This has helped each child gain a sense of belonging and begin to build good relationships with their friends and key adult.

The children have led their own learning by bringing in leaves, pinecones and berries they have found on their way to nursery. Staff have responded to this by providing materials and resources to further develop the children’s knowledge about autumn.

We have introduced and implemented our Childsmile oral health programme and the children have quickly learned to match the colour and symbol for their group chart to the ones on their toothbrush.
