Welcome To Duckling

Welcome to Duckling Class!

In our Nursery class, we encourage the children to learn through play. Our classroom and outdoor area are designed so that the children can access their own resources and take their learning in their own direction. Throughout the year we will change and adapt the children’s environment to suit their individual needs.

Floppy's Phonics 

 
We follow the 'Floppy's Phonics' systematic synthetic phonics programme in school. Phonics in the nursery, concentrates on developing children's speaking and listening skills and layes the foundations for the phonics work which starts in Reception. The emphasis during this early stage, is to get children attuned to the sounds around them and ready to begin developing oral blending and segmenting skills.
Level 1 is divided into seven aspects. Each contains three strands: Tuning in to sounds (auditory discrimination), Listening and remembering sounds (auditory memory and sequencing) and Talking about sounds (developing vocabulary and language comprehension). It is intended that each of the first six aspects should be dipped into, rather than going through them in any order, with a balance of activities.
The 7 aspects  are:
  • environmental sound discrimination
  • instrumental sound discrimination
  • body percussion
  • rhythm and rhyme
  • alliteration
  • voice sounds
  • oral blending and segmenting

EYFS Fund

Thank you to all the parents who have paid their £1 EYFS fund.
This weekly donation enables us to source valuable resources for your children to use at nursery. 

Supporting language at home 

Before your child can learn to read and write they need to be able to speak clearly and confidently. Please encourage them to use full sentences at all times, to enhance their understanding and speaking skills. 
Great ways you can help at home: 
  • Singing nursery rhymes 
  • Reading books together
  • Let your child make up their own story using pictures 
  • Talk to your child about what they can see/ hear/ smell/ touch when you are out and about 
  • Paint, draw and create- using their imagination is a great way to bring out their language skills 
  • Play! Children learn best during play, give them memorable experiences such as baking, trips out to the park or local library

You can also record any activities from the '50 things...' list that you do as a family.
