Nursery and Reception

Mrs Crook and Mrs Byrom worked together for many years. Our aim is to help children love school. We want to give them the tools to be great learners, great friends and confident to try new things. It is a pleasure to be able to support the youngest learners in the school. This year we welcomed nursery children for the first time. It has been a great half-term and our newest children are settling well into life at Bickerstaffe. 

• Class 1 have PE on a Tuesday and Friday
• We have Spanish on a Thursday
• The Library bus comes to school every three weeks on a Friday and we get to borrow a lovely book

Home Learning

To begin with the best home learning will be to share books together, they can be any kind of book or story. As they begin to learn the names and sounds of letters they will receive school books to read at home to you. These books will be closely linked to their phonic ability, to provide the best support in their reading journey.

Phonics

Learning to read is the most important thing your child will learn at our school. Everything else depends on it, so we put as much energy as we possibly can into making sure that every single child learns to read as quickly as possible.

We want your child to love reading – and to want to read for themselves. This is why we put our efforts into making sure they develop a love of books as well as simply learning to read.
