The early years of any child’s education provides the foundations for future educational success. Our Early Years setting provides the children with a nurturing environment, rich with books, writing and number. This supports the learning of phonics, counting and mark making.

We teach and deliver across all seven areas within the Early Years Foundation Stage: Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development, Communication and Language, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, Expressive Arts and Design. The staff in Early Years are Mrs Wardle and Mrs Robinson.

Please see the links below for more information on the Early Years curriculum for both Nursery and Reception pupils. We regularly feature the learning activities from each class on our weekly blog, so please have a look at this and the academy gallery, together with posts on our social media. Links to all of these pages can be found under the Celebrating Wilton tab.

Early years have been talking about their feelings. We read The Colour Monster story and related the colours to our emotions.

Our class bear Bob had his 3rd birthday last week. The children planned a party for him. They made shopping lists and wrote invitations to their own bears at home. The Reception children made a cake and nursery made sandwiches and jelly for the party.

This week we have been learning to retell Little Red Riding Hood. We have used the puppets and costumes. We have used our baking skills again to make cakes for grandma.

Outside we were given a huge red pallet and the children decided to build a fire engine with it.
