Fielding
Primary School and Nursery
To end our Curriculum Challenge of 'What can you find in the winter garden?', we will be holding our 'In the Night Garden' event.
The event will take place on Friday 10th of February from 6.00pm to 7.00pm. All Nursery families are invited to attend. It is an ideal opportunity to meet other parents and let your children explore the Nursery Garden in the dark. So let them bring torches.
The event itself is an outside event which takes place in the Nursery outdoor area, where the children will be able to explore the Nursery Garden at night surrounded by lights and music.
As this is a family event, the children will be the responsibility of their parents and carers. Siblings are welcome at the event. No member of the Nursery Team will be responsible for any of the children which attend the event and there is no creche facility at the event.
Free refreshments will be available and the Nursery children attending the event will receive a glow stick to use in the dark.
As this is an outdoor event it is dependent on the weather. If it rains on the afternoon/evening of the event, then the event will be cancelled.
The Nursery children really enjoyed the visit form Ark Farm this week. We got to meet an owl, rabbits and guinea pigs. A lovely black dog, a sugar glider and a hedgehog.
It was lovely to see how gentle the children were when stroking the animals and how much they enjoyed the visit.
You should have received an email telling you about the Parent Consultation appointments for Spring Term. During the meeting you will be able to discuss your child's progress.
Meeting will take place on:
-Monday 30th, Tuesday 31st Jan and new date Tuesday 21st February. If you have booked your Parent Consultation for 1st February I am sure you are aware of the revised date.
-Monday 6th, Tuesday 7th Feb for Ladybirds
Appointments will be from 8.45 until 4pm and will be bookable through a link you will receive via your MCAS from 12th January.
So that children in the Nursery can still enjoy the outdoor area please send them to Nursery in a warm winter coat, a hat, gloves and scarf . Please label all your child's items so that we can return them when we find them out of place.
The children love learning in the outdoor area and as long as they have the correct clothing they can continue to enjoy it in the cold weather.
Works on the school field are still continuing, meaning that there will be no Forest School sessions until the works are completed, which will be a few weeks into the Spring Term. We can't wait to get back there.
Thank you to those parents who were able join us for our first workshop session on Language and PSED. I have posted the powerpoint below for you to view.
I will be presenting two more sessions this academic year.
- Phonics in the Nursery Saturday 25th March 2023 10am-11am
- Mathematics in the Early Years. Summer Term TBC
‘Wow’ notes.
As part of the children’s development in the Nursery, we collect examples of how they are progressing through the Seven Areas of Learning: Language and Communication, Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design.
To support your child’s development and to help the accuracy of our judgements, please try to complete four of these ‘wow’ moments per half term. A ‘wow’ moment would be your child doing something for the first time or showing confidence while taking part in an activity with you. Write a brief description of what your child did on one of the cards, cut it out and bring it into Nursery. We will then stick the ‘wow’ moment into their learning journey and use it to support our understanding of their development
Values Star
To reward the Nursery children when they continue to make 'good choices', we place a picture of them on the 'Values Star' board. At the end of each week, we choose one girl and one boy who have been showing and demonstrating our Values and also following our 'Golden Rules'. Each child then receives a sticker, a small certificate to take home and a round of applause from their friends. With so many amazing children in the Nursery, it is always a hard choice.
Forest School sessions are led by Nursery Teachers and Mrs Watts who is a certified Forest School teacher as well as the class teacher for RF Reception class at Fielding.
You will receive a message via your MCAS account on a Friday/Wednesday to let you know if your child is attending Forest School on Monday/Thursday. If you child is due to attend Forest School then please send them to Nursery with wellies or waterproof shoes. They will also need a raincoat/shower jacket as the weather does not stop us.
The Fielding Forest School is located on our school field. Children will have the opportunity to explore the forest and take part in themed and seasonal activities.

While the children are settling into the Nursery we understand that some children need to bring comfort toys to the Nursery to help them in their settling on process. We encourage the children to keep comfort toys in their bags so that they do not get lost.
If children mislay any items which they bring to Nursery we will attempt to find them and return them. Unfortunately we are unable to spend time looking for items during busy periods in the Nursery. If a child looses an item we will then look for it at the end of the session or at the beginning of the next day. We ask parents if they can please be patient to have items returned and not expect staff to look for items during the session.
Thank you for your understanding.
Here you will find information about our core Value of each term.

All children may experience some difficulties in learning from time to time during their school life. We aim to provide equal access to the whole curriculum for all children including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All nursery staff are involved in the learning and development of pupils with SEND with Parents/Carers involved at all stages.
Mrs Chadwick is the schools SENDCo, she works closely with nursery to ensure that any children experiencing difficulties are able to gain the support needed as early as possible.
We place great emphasis on identifying pupils with additional needs as early as possible, therefore ensuring a differentiated curriculum to accommodate individual needs and allow maximum access to the curriculum. Where a child has a particular individual need, we will make reasonable adjustments to help them overcome their difficulties which may include additional support. Depending on the identified need this support may take place in class, in a small group or on an individual basis. On occasion, additional support is sought from an external agency such as;
Speech and Language
Occupational Therapy
SEN Inclusion team
Early Start
Family support
