Tapestry
We use the platform Tapestry to record observations of our children to capture learning and progress made. Once your child has been created a profile on Tapestry, parents will recieve an email to create their own account. We aim to work in partnership with our parents and welcome our families to upload photos and videos of home experiences, to share this with our staff. Follow the instructions below on how to access your parent Tapestry account.
At Saffron Green the children will develop an understanding of environmental sounds and body percussions to be able to distinguish sounds they can hear. They will explore rhythm and rhymes alongside stories and rhymes. Children will use these skills to then follow the systematic synthetics phonics programme, Read Write Inc in the Summer term.

Reading for pleasure
To promote children's love of reading, children will visit our school library where a chosen book will be read to the class and children will take home a library book weekly.
What we have been up to so far in Nursery...
Summer Term
Welcome to Nursery!
This term our topic is Animals and their babies.
After Easter we will be learning about animals and where they live. We will discover different types of animal families and their babies. Nursery will have the opportunity to care for our own baby chicks and help support them hatch. This is an amazing way to show children the life cycle and what it takes to look after another living thing.
In Phonics we are continuing to learn our new sounds and what the initial sounds are in our name. We will be looking closely at the logos we may see in our environment and area.
In Art Nursery will be moving onto learning about our new Artist Kandisky - who uses circles in different colours/shades to create art. We will be making our own artwork for our art gallery for all to see.
Through all our learning in Maths the children will develop more knowledge of number and beginning to count beyond 10. Through the use of toys and objects children will learn about positional language.
Everything we do in the EYFS is build around play. Playing helps young children’s brains to develop and supports maturity in their language and communication skills. It is important to recognise the crucial role that play has in early childhood development
