Classes

Welcome to Nursery Sheffield

I am Miss Radcliffe and I will be working with Miss Dunkova this year to support your children and ensure they have an exciting year ahead. I am committed to ensure your child reaches their full potential in a way that will be enjoyable and well matched to their individual needs.

In the moment Planning

We have an action packed year ahead, providing learning by planning interesting activities that are developed from your child’s interests. Please look at a classroom floor book to see some of the exciting things we have been learning and exploring about. 

Outdoor play come rain or shine

An important part of the EYFS curriculum is outdoor play; we will be taking your child into our outdoor learning space whatever the weather. At Oasis Academy Fir Vale we strongly believe that some children learn best when outdoors, therefore we ask that you ensure your child has the following things to make sure they are equipped for all unforeseen weather. You can help by ensuring:

-     Your child brings a suitable waterproof coat to school everyday!

       Provide wellington boots- for wet days and so your child can get involved in more messy activities.

-      Ensure your child has a hat, scarf and gloves on colder days

-      Think sun smart- apply sun cream before they come to school on hot days and ensure they have sun hats.

Reading

We would also like to ask parents to look at a book or share a story with your child at home each day to encourage them to develop a love for reading and develop early reading habits.  Can you please ensure that your child comes to school with their reading bags and use the take home book library area in the nursery entrance area?

Any questions or concerned this year please speak to a member of the staff team without delay, we are always happy to help.

We are looking forward to teaching your child this year as we have a very exciting year ahead of us.
