About Our Class
Hello and welcome to our nursery class!
I am so excited to be your child’s teacher as we embark on a wonderful journey of learning, growth, and discovery together. In our class, we create a nurturing, safe, and fun environment where every child is encouraged to explore, express themselves, and build strong foundations for their future learning.
This year, we will focus on developing not only early literacy and numeracy skills but also important social and emotional skills. Through stories, songs, play, and creative activities, we will dive into the world of feelings, friendships, and problem-solving, helping the children feel confident and supported every step of the way.
One of the key themes in our learning this term will be well-being. We’ll explore topics like emotions, worries, and how to express ourselves, using stories like Ruby’s Worry to guide us. It’s a wonderful opportunity for children to develop emotional awareness, share their feelings, and learn strategies to manage challenges they may face.
