Nursery
Around 2½ to 3½ years. In Nursery, children start to talk more, ask “why?” about everything and love to make things. We follow that curiosity with stories, art and early numbers.
What children learn in Nursery
Through songs, stories, games and art. Never long hours at a desk.
-
Talking and listening
Picture talk, show-and-tell and simple questions and answers.
-
Numbers 1 to 10
Counting objects, number songs and spotting numbers around us.
-
Letters by sound
Hearing first sounds in words and recognising some letters.
-
Art and craft
Painting, tearing, sticking and printing with hands and leaves.
-
The world around us
Family, animals, fruits, vehicles, seasons and festivals.

Pencil ready
Lines, curves and patterns to get hands ready for writing.

Every child grows at their own pace. Most Nursery children can:
