Welcome to our Nursery class page
Hello, we are Mrs Etheridge (Monday - Thursday) and Miss Millington (Thursday - Friday) and we are very excited to be your teachers in Nursery this year. Mrs Brunt and Miss Sheargold will be working with us too and we will have lots of fun both inside and out of the classroom. This page aims to provide our families with some key information about life in Nursery, useful links to help at home and examples of our fantastic work.
Some important things to start us off this Year...
- Our PE day is Thursday. PE is taught by our very own PE coach, Mr Kemp, and is on a Thursday morning. On Thursdays the children come to school wearing their PE kit which is a black tracksuit, white t-shirt and suitable trainers or pumps. During warm weather, children are welcome to wear black shorts.
- Reading books will be changed as and when required.
- Home learning will be given out every Friday.
If you have any questions about anything to do with your child’s education, you can speak to us on the door at the start and the end of each day or via the Class Dojo messenger.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum in the Early Years has been developed to ensure that children acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to meet the Early Learning Goals at the end of their Reception year and ultimately prepare them for a successful transition into Year 1. Therefore our curriculum in Nursery will ensure that children are taught the required skills to prepare them for their Reception year.
We cover a wide range of topics in Nursery to give children a wide and strong foundation to their future learning. Our topics are based around books and we look at a range of fiction and non-fiction books. Please see the links below for further information.

Early Years Overview for Maths
Maths in Nursery involves developing an early understanding of numbers, shapes, patterns and measurement through playful, everyday activities such as counting snacks, building towers and sorting objects. At Moorcroft Wood, we also teach key maths skills to Nursery children through small group and whole class activities. Below is the overview for the maths topics taught throughout the Nursery year.

Early Years Overview for Phonics
Phonological awareness in Nursery begins with listening walks and rhythmic patterns. As we progress through the academic year, the children will then also begin to learn sounds through our RWI phonics programme. This will be conducted through both whole class and small group activities.
