Our unit is made up of 4 classroom bases:
Holly • Maple • Cherry • Oak
• Every base has its own drop off point in the morning
and collection point at the end of the day.
• Each base has its own teacher and classroom assistant
to greet you and your child every morning, give out
messages, answer questions and listen to concerns.
• Reception (F2) home bases are Holly and Maple; Nursery (F1) home bases are
Oak and Cherry.
Foundation Stage Unit
We provide a balance of child initiated, small or large group planned activities, where adults identify particular skills, knowledge and attitudes your child needs to develop. This means children can make choices and suggest the focus for their play.
• Letters, sounds and numbers are taught daily in groups.
• At Marpool we have several wonderful outdoor spaces.
• We make the most of our environment and spend lots of time learning outdoors.
• We enjoy planting, growing and harvesting our own fruit and vegetables which we use for our school lunches.
• Apples grow in our orchard and we love using them to make apple crumble.
• We look after of all of our animals. We feed and groom the goats. We collect eggs from our chickens and sometimes use them to make scrambled eggs!
• We hatched our very own ducklings and watched them grow.
• At Forest School we climb our trees, toast marshmallows on the bonfire and work together with our friends.

Nursery
·-We are storytellers! We are listening so carefully to our Pete the Cat story and learning to tell it with our special story map
- Some of us will be finding out about alliteration and sound bumps in words and our new starters will be busy learning their new friend’s names!
Reception
We have been writing our own non-fiction books… we are authors! Our books have a front cover, an information page, and a diagram with labels.
In letters and sounds we have been busy bees… look out for the home learning to see what your group have been focusing on. We have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes ... we know that 2D shapes are flat and 3D shapes are flat! We have learnt that 3D shapes that faces, edges and vertices!
-Ask me about Pete the Cat!
- What does he step in?
- What colour does it turn his shoes?
- Why is Pete sad?
Read your new books three times (every week).
Look out for the home learning with this week’s wow word … it’s fact. Do you know any facts about donkeys?
New to Nursery - you will have been allocated a key worker. Please see the display near the coat pegs to see who your child’s is or ask a member of staff. Soon you will be invited to a ‘building a picture’ meeting where you will be able to discuss your child with your key worker and ask any questions that you might have.
Those who have been with us for longer… we recently shared Learning Journals during morning drop-offs - thank you to all the parents who took the time to have a look through these. If you haven’t had a chance to see your child’s Learning Journal recently, please let us know and we can provide this for you.
