Classes

Welcome to Nursery Class - Sheffield!

Your teachers this year will be Miss Orwin-Francis and Miss Rahman - We cannot wait to meet you all and play together!

Prepare you child for a good day at nursery by creating a good home routine:

• Read your child a bedtime story just before bed (creating a calm and quiet atmosphere)
• Make sure you child gets a good night’s sleep – the recommended time for a 4 year old is 7pm.
• Prepare your child for a good day by having a healthy breakfast – no sweets or fizzy drinks. 
• Make sure your child is wearing their school uniform- ready to learn! “

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.

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.
