When your child attends My First Friends Nursery, they are continually getting prepared for school life if that is a nursery school or reception. The children at My First Friends Nursery have access to lots of mark making materials such as pencils/crayons/chalk/wax crayons etc. Children can help themselves with paper where they start to mark make. Through out their time with the nursery the children start making simple shapes for example circles . We follow the children's enjoyment with media and materials. Together with the children we start looking at their first initial name. The process is then they start practicing their first letter of their name in paint/sand/foam/mud. |
In June the children go and visit Westdene Primary School to watch the school children take part in their sports day. While watching the children doing sports day we discuss with the children what sports they are doing and if they will do it when they are older. We also have a reception book of Westdene Primary School , the children look at the pictures of the book and we talk about what the reception class does.
Also we take the children onto the field above the nursery and we take a look at Westdene Primary School at a distance. We ask the children who is going off to the school nursery or a different school nursery plus reception. Children during the August period are excited about moving up and will go round talking to their friends that they are going to big school. |

During the July - August period the children that are leaving will get to wear their graduation outfit alongside the graduation medal. in 2019 we have added a graduation bear alongside your child when they have their graduation photo taken. The children leaving that get to wear the graduation robe are excited when wearing it and want to show their friends that are staying the photo of them. |
