Welcome to the Nursery Blog
Over the last 2 weeks we have been learning about Autumn and exploring the changes in the environment at this time of year. Here are some of the activities we have done.
Collecting Leaves
Pumpkin Scooping
Our theme for the next few weeks in Nursery will be Autumn. We are looking at the changes in the environment and talking about what we see. We are reading the story Leaf Man and talking about all the different coloured leaves we see during Autumn time. We will be doing different Autumn crafts using leaves and going on an Autumn walk to our Forest School area looking for signs of Autumn.
If you are out on walks over the next few weeks please feel free to collect any Autumn objects you may find and bring them in to Nursery to share with the other children.
Hello everyone and welcome to Coundon Primary School Nursery.
We are so pleased with how all the children have settled into Nursery so far, they have been amazing, well done.
As parents are unable to come into Nursery at present we have taken some photos of how we look inside. Once we have all our photo consent forms back we will start uploading photos of our activities each week.
From September and in line with Government Guidance, we will be getting outside a lot more (in all sorts of weather conditions), this will include our PE lessons.
We will be asking the children to come into school on their PE days IN THEIR PE UNIFORM. (They will find out their PE days during the first week back). They will then stay in this for the day, so a change of clothes will not be needed in school. The main reason for this change is for safety reasons; it has been advised that we reduce the amount of belongings that are coming to and from each home and onto the school site.
For the older children, this change also comes about as there will be reduced space for them to change separately (boys and girls) due to them being in their class bubbles.
To make sure that the children are suitably dressed once the cooler weather sets in, we would like the children to have black jogging bottoms, a black hoody or sweatshirt and suitable outdoor footwear to wear alongside their usual white t-shirt and black shorts.
We thank you for your support with this.

Nursery children will receive a door step visit by a member of Nursery staff in the week beginning 2nd September. Dates and Times have previously been shared with you.
Induction sessions will begin on Tuesday 8th September. The children will either be visiting Tuesday and Thursday 8.30- 10.30 or 1.30 – 3.30 or Wednesday and Friday 8.30-10.30 or 1.30 – 3.30. All times can be confirmed during your doorstep visits.
After their Induction period the children will be returning on Monday September 14th. There will be a staggered entry in 10-minute intervals. Your child will enter via the Nursery gate at 8.30 am, they will need to queue at 1m distance and will be met by Mrs Jones who will escort them to their new classroom. Unfortunately, the guidelines state that parents are still not allowed onto school site and if you are bringing your child to school, will need to say goodbye at the school entrance and leave them in the capable hands of the school staff. For safety can I please request that you do not gather at the school gate to hold discussions with other parents. (I do know this is tempting when you have not seen some of your friends for long periods of time but the safety of the children and staff is paramount) At the end of day your child will exit from the Nursery gate by the school office at 11.30am. This arrangement will apply every day until further notice.
Welcome to Coundon Primary School Nursery
We are sorry we have not been able to meet any of you yet. We have added a little bit of information about us all to introduce ourselves.
We are really excited about meeting you all. Miss Jones will be calling you over the next couple of weeks to arrange a doorstop home visit and your settling in sessions in September.
If you have any questions in the meantime you can contact us on Nursery@coundon.coventry.sch.uk
Get Set 4 PE have organised a set of fun activities for schools to use as part of a Sports Day.
Those of you at home can take part too! Either do them all in a day or spread them out over the week.
Record your scores on the score sheet and email your results to your teacher.
The activities are differentiated for EYFS, KS1 and KS2.
If you’re at home and want your grown ups to take part too, then they should complete the activities that are aimed at KS2.
There are 7 games to complete, all of which can be found in the PowerPoint below.
Have fun!
How do you fancy challenging friends, family or neighbours to some fun, virtual sporting activities?
At national children’s charity, the Youth Sport Trust, we are determined to ensure that young people stay active and connected through this difficult time. We’ve been helping families do this with our daily #StayHomeStayActive activities since March and now we’re challenging the public to go one step further by joining us in our first ever National School Sport Week at Home, supercharged by Sky Sports.
Coundon Primary School is preparing to join the Youth Sport Trust and Sky Sports to help young people and families up and down the country engage in a week of virtual sporting challenges.
With young people set to miss out on their main school sport day this summer, the Youth Sport Trust is taking its annual National School Sport Week campaign beyond the school gates to parents and families – reinvented as National School Sport Week at Home.
Taking place from 20-26 June, the week will give families, communities, schools and sports clubs the opportunity to take part in a series of virtual sporting challenges which help young people capture the enjoyment, competition and camaraderie they may be missing out on and the Youth Sport Trust is delighted that Sky Sports will be helping to supercharge the campaign.
Those with children that are staying home: All that you need to do to take part is follow the activities found in this PowerPoint, make a note of the scores that you get and send a copy off to your child’s class teacher.
Those with children that are in school: Your children will be carrying out the set activities in school within their Bubble. If they are home for part of the week, then they can continue their challenge at home.
If you would like further activities to join in with, take a look at this:
