Welcome to Nursery -

St Francis of Assisi

November Update: St Francis Remembers...

We have been remembering our protectors and loved ones who are now in Heaven this week. St Francis class created a fingerprint poppy wreath for our Remembrance Liturgy and spoke about who loves and protects us.

We have also watched the 'Poppies' clip below and talked about our protectors and loved ones in Heaven.

Our Nursery Reading Garden

The children in St Francis love to sit in our lovely reading corner and share their favourite books as well as enjoying our story sacks! 

'Reading is a passport to countless adventures.' 

At St Rose’s, we want to give every child this same passion for reading. We have worked with the School Book List to resource every classroom book corner at school with a fresh range of appropriate and exciting texts. 

Please follow the link below to see the books that are in your child’s book corner. You may wish to purchase one or two of these fabulous texts to enjoy with your child at home.
