Welcome to Nursery!
Here you will find out all about our class and all the exciting things that we will be getting up to this year. Our class teacher is Mrs Turner and our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Depledge. Mrs Lord-Jones will also spend some time in our class along with a specialist sports coach.
PE takes place twice a week on a Tuesday morning and on a Thursday afternoon. Please ensure your child arrives to school wearing their full PE kit on these days. No earrings should be worn on these days.

At Bradley Green Primary Academy we believe that every child matters and that every day in school matters. Therefore, we strive hard to make sure that the experiences and opportunities we provide for our youngest children are exciting and interesting so that they become curious and develop a love of learning. We want the children at Bradley Green to feel like every day at school is the best day in their life.
The children in Nursery have the opportunity to develop and learn in indoor and outdoor environments that ignite interest and a love of learning.
Forest School
Forest school takes places on Tuesday afternoons and Thursday mornings.
This video takes a look at some brilliant adult-led learning experiences in the forest school in nursery.
There are many imaginative activities that the children engage in using natural resources, and that develop skills across the whole curriculum. There are some amazing activities, including:
-Finding sticks and measuring with them
-Using sticks in open-ended ways, and imagining them in different roles, such as a unicorn horn or a sword
-Using natural sticks as rhythm sticks and claves, and using them to make music and keep the beat to songs.
-Using sticks to explore the outdoor area, hitting different objects such as the fence and discriminating the sounds that objects make
-Using sticks for simple phonic exploration
There is a great use of singing and music in this setting, even in the forest school, which really brings learning to life.
In this next video, the children engaged in all sorts of free choice activities in their forest setting. They used dangerous tools, such as potato peelers for whittling bark off sticks. They climbed up pallets and experienced the thrill and danger of height.
