Hello and welcome to the Nursery homepage. The team working in Nursery are Miss Marshall, Miss Jackson and Miss Goodwin. We are very excited for the year ahead and we will keep you updated on the children’s learning on the Chatter Feed on the right hand side of this page.
We use Seesaw to update you on your child’s progress and learning, when you log on you will see snapshots of some of the activities we take part in in class. We expect all parents to interact with posts on Seesaw and to work with their child on activities set at home.
Reading is fundamental to a child’s progress. It helps to introduce your child to new words and increase their vocabulary. We recommend that parents read with their child daily. It helps to spark imagination and plays a crucial role in speech development which introduces children to the world around them and new concepts.
If you have any problems accessing Seesaw or the Monster Phonics e-books, please contact us using the parentmail@pleasantstreet.liverpool.sch.uk email address and we will try to support you.
PE – Tuesday and Friday
Seesaw Activities – Activities are posted on Seesaw every Friday for you to view and complete at home with your child.
This morning a number of children decided to go on a mini beast hunt. They looked under logs, branches and leaves to see if they could find any of the mini beasts on their checklists and they were pleased to find lots of signs of life in the garden!
The children listened to the story, The Squirrels who Squabbled. We noticed what happened when Cyril and Bruce argued over a nut they got into all kinds of trouble. We discussed being kind to each other and how important it is to share. We spoke about the things we can share with our friends and families in school and at home.
A big thank you to one of our Nursery and Y1 parents, who surprised the children this afternoon as our Mystery Guest Reader. He read two wonderful books, singing songs and putting on different voices for the characters.
Thank you for your time, the children loved it!

In Nursery we’ve been focusing on the word “same”, the children have enjoyed playing and matching the same and not the same items around our classroom independently and adult-led.
The children enjoyed looking at a Map of Liverpool, we looked around our school and tried to navigate areas that we may recognise or have visited before.
During diversity day Nursery discussed the different emotions we can feel. We looked at some images of emotions and spoke about what makes us feel happy, sad, angry etc. Nursery then used a variety of different resources to create faces with different emotions.
We read a story called “Kind”, the children completing a sorting activity highlighting what actions are kind or unkind.
In maths we practised sending repeating patterns of balls along the gutters.
We had a fantastic time visiting the Pumpkin Patch, we enjoyed exploring the big open field looking for different sized and coloured Pumpkins.
This week we have been reading Oliver’s Vegetables, we discussed what vegetables we already know and some new. To find out wether the children liked or disliked the vegetables we did a taste test.
We love playing and listening to music in Nursery with Mrs Grindley.

In Nursery we read the story “The Colour Monster Goes to School”.
We discussed a range of emotions, the children described how they feel and created their own monsters.

Great to see our nursery children exploring seasonal change, and enjoying themselves in our wonderful outdoor environment
Our EYFS garden looked like a Winter Wonderland this morning so we couldn’t resist the opportunity to explore seasonal changes to our environment………… and to have some fun ? ❄️ ⛄️
We had a very special visitor in school on party day, every class had the opportunity to visit the grotto and they left with some gifts.
Today, we celebrated Diversity Day. In Nursery we read a wonderful book called “Marvellous Me”. This text allowed our children to consider how they’re different from their classmates, but how each of them are Marvellous in their own unique way.
