Through structured play, focus activities and small group teaching children are nurtured through their learning journey. Children are encouraged to learn by exploring the world around them and developing their own learning through self-exploration and play. #### We have used the national curriculum and our expertise to map out a broad, balanced, creative and coherent curriculum. We believe our curriculum empowers our pupils to access and develop their knowledge, skills, attitudes and dispositions to enable them to become well-rounded citizens who take with them a life-long love of learning. Further information about how we teach our Early Years curriculum can be found below and also in our **school policy.** #### **Our Weekly Timetable -** | #### **Monday** | | |---|---| | #### **Tuesday** | #### | | #### **Wednesday** | Nursery Rhyme Packs / Number Song Packs changed | | #### **Thursday** | Library books changed | | #### **Friday** | | ## Our Nursery Boarshaw Promise ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/laura/Nursery_Boarshaw_Promise.png) ### Have a look at our Boarshaw Primary Promise for Nursery. These are the opportunities and experiences we are going to focus on this year. #### **Homework** ##### In Nursery we ask children to read a story (which could be their reading or library book or a book from home) each night together with an adult. We will set little homework tasks throughout the year which you can complete when you have time. We enjoy talking and making things and that is what we would like our parents to do at home as much as possible with their child. ##### **Reading and Phonics** #### Reading is very important. Our pupils are encouraged to engage in reading both in school and at home. #### In Nursery we are focusing on **Phase 1 Phonics** from Letters and Sounds. This looks at 7 aspects: #### Aspect 1 - Environmental Sounds #### Aspect 2 - Instrumental Sounds #### Aspect 3 - Body Percussion #### Aspect 4 - Rhythm and Rhyme #### Aspect 5 - Alliteration #### Aspect 6 - Voice Sounds #### Aspect 7 - Oral blending and segmenting #### We also follow the Rocket Phonics Nursery Scheme. #### #### Have a look at the **Foundation Stage Curriculum** below: #### [![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/blog/Star_Image.png)](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/files/Louise23/Nursery_Long_Term_Plan_2024-2025.pdf)[Long Term Plan 2026-2027 ](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/files/LC25/26-27/Nursery_Long_Term_Plan_2026-2027.pdf) #### ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/blog/Star_Image.png)[Autumn 1 Topic Pack - Who lives in my house? ](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/files/LC25/26-27/Nursery_Topic_Pack_-_Autumn_1_Term_1_-_2026-2027.pdf) #### ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/blog/Star_Image.png)[Autumn 2 Topic Pack - People Who Help Us](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/files/LC25/26-27/26_-_27_MTP_Autumn_2_-_Nursery.pdf) #### #### **Our Newsletters** #### Keep up-to-date with information about each term and find out what we are learning through our class newsletters. #### [![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/blog/Star_Image.png)](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/files/Louise23/Autumn_1_Nursery_Newsletter.pdf) [Autumn 1 Newsletter](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/files/Sadia2019/Nursery_Autumn_1_Newsletter_26-27.pdf) #### ![](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/images/blog/Star_Image.png)[Autumn 2 Newsletter](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/files/LC25/26-27/26-27_Nursery_A2_Newsletter.pdf) #### ### Our School - [Our Classes](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes) - [Nursery Sea Turtles](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/nursery-sea-turtles) - [Reception Blue Tang](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/reception-blue-tang-2017-18) - [Reception Clownfish](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/reception-clown-fish-2017-18) - [Rainbow Fish](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/reception-rainbow-fish) - [Year 1 Dolphins](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/year-1-dolphins-2017-18) - [Year 1 Sharks](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/year-1-sharks-2017-18) - [Year 2 Lobster](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/year-2-lobsters-2017-18) - [Year 2 Penguin](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/year-2-penguins-2017-18) - [Year 3 Sea Horses](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/year-3-seahorses-2017-18) - [Year 3 Octopus](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/year-3-octopus-2017-18) - [Year 4 Star Fish](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/year-4-starfish-2017-18) - [Year 4 Jelly Fish](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/year-4-jellyfish) - [Year 5 Coral](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/year-5-coral-2017-18) - [Year 5 Lionfish](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/year-5-lion-fish-2017-18) - [Year 6 Stingray](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/year-6-stingray-2017-18) - [Year 6 Oyster](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/classes/year-6-oyster) - [Our Curriculum](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/curriculum) - [Our School Governors](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-governors) - [Our Results](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/our-results) - [Our School Vision ](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-vision-statement) - [Our School Policies](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-policies) - [Our School Priorities](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school-development-plan) - [Our School Evaulation Summary](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/school-evaluation-summary) - [Staff List](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/staff-list) - [PiraMidd ](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/piramidd) **Boarshaw Primary School** Stanycliffe lane Middleton Manchester M24 2PB Tel: 0161 653 9536 ## Useful Links: [Term Dates](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/parents/termdates) [Contact Us](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/contact) [Admissions](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/admissions) [Policies](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-policies) © Copyright 2025–2026 Boarshaw Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
