Welcome to Autumn Term in Pre-School
It is our first term at Crown Street Primary Pre-School and we would like to warmly welcome our new children and their families.
We are excited to begin a fun-filled term of exploration and learning. Establishing strong relationships with our children and families is our priority at the beginning of the school year.
During the year we will support your child to ensure their emotional and academic needs are met daily. We will strive to ensure their first experience in education is both special and exciting, underpinned by memorable activities.
Our aim is for your children to become happy and confident learners and to carry their love of learning throughout their life.
As well as following your unique children; their interests and what engages their learning, our curriculum will be inspired by our Curriculum Bookshelf, which will be filled with exciting and high-quality texts. All of which will be underpinned with our Character Traits.
We focus on identifying our six Character Traits to support your child’s learning across the curriculum along with their personal development.
Character Traits
Curriculum Bookshelf
Our Autumn Bookshelf has been carefully selected by our Pre-School team and is very much inspired by learning about ourselves and one another.
We will explore and celebrate our individuality by developing our own sense of self, discussing our families, as well as exploring our likes and dislikes – all whilst learning about and celebrating our similarities and differences.
