What changes in Nursery
Nursery is still play-led, but the play becomes more purposeful. Children start hearing the separate sounds in words, the first step of systematic phonics. Counting moves from reciting numbers to understanding how many. And they learn to share a space, wait a turn and finish what they start.
A day in Blossom
- Phonics and stories. Short, playful sessions on sounds, then a great deal of reading aloud.
- Number through play. Sorting, matching, measuring and counting real things.
- Outdoor learning. Time every day on the Early Years ground.
- Making. Painting, building, music and role play: expressive arts and design, one of the seven EYFS areas.
- Meals together. Lunch and snacks are part of tuition.
Reported against an external standard
Progress at Elyton is reported against national expectations from the first term. In Nursery, that means you hear how your child is developing across the seven areas of learning, not just how they compare with the class.
