Nursery Class
Welcome to the Nursery Class
The Staff in the Nursery class this year are
Miss Priestman, Mrs Bissell,
Mrs Peart and Miss Sheeran.
Welcome to St Mary’s Catholic academy.
We hope you all had a well-rested summer break and enjoyed the sunshine and showers. Our main focus for this half term is “Brown Bear Brown Bear” However we will use the children's interests as the starting point for our planning and activities so we would also like to welcome any ideas from you as parents of your child's interests, places they have visited, activities they have enjoyed to build on this within our planning.
Please send ideas via evidence me, on a ‘magic moment’, or pass any ideas to a member of staff. You can add to your child’s profile by sending in family observations, photographs of activities or places visited to evidence me.
