Welcome to Bishops Down Nursery!

In Nursery our focus is on learning through play. The casual observer might consider that children are merely playing with sand, dough, bricks and so on. The children are in fact working hard to make sense of and to master their environment.

We use our online journal ‘Tapestry’ to record, track and monitor children’s learning and progress. Please do add contributions from home to your child’s journal!

EYFS - Useful Websites

Maths

Reception children should be using numbers up to 20, reading them, writing them and putting them in order. Also exploring addition and subtraction within that range.

Phonics

We have learnt all the single sounds and some diagraphs (two letter sounds). When using ‘Phonics Play’ or other phonic websites please focus on the Phase 2 games. As the phases do not relate to our ‘Read Write Inc’ phonics scheme there may be some sounds the children are unfamiliar with.
