Shirley Warren Primary and Nursery School

Friday 6 November 2026 Celebrating Diwali in Nursery! This week in Nursery, our children have been exploring Diwali, the Festival of Lights, through a range of exciting, hands-on activities designed to spark curiosity, creativity and exploration.

Wednesday 4 November 2026 An Update from Year R We have just finished an amazing first half term in Reception! The children settled into our school routines quickly, making friendships and learning our school rules, enabling them to thrive in our day-to-day learning. The children bring excitement and joy to their learning and have worked hard to achieve both the objectives of our learning and their own personal goals during discovery time. We have had some particularly exciting days this half term, for example Superhero day when P.C. Tom paid us a visit! Alongside this, the children learnt 5 Earth words and 22 sounds in phonics, giving them an excellent basis to begin their reading journey.

Friday 23 October 2026 Our Week in Nursery – Nature, Mark Making and All About Us! This week, our children have been exploring the wonders of autumn through our Panda Bear, Panda Bear activities. We enjoyed getting outdoors, discovering nature and expressing our creativity through a variety of exciting mark-making activities.
