NURSERY
In the Nursery class children have their fourth birthday during the year. Nursery hours are
9:15am - 3:10pm with an early and late school facility from 8am - 5:30pm. Many
children attend for two or three days to begin and then often progress to four
or five days by the end of the year, in preparation for full time compulsory school. Full time
attendance is possible from the beginning of the year.
In Nursery the children acquire, through a wide range of learning experiences, the various concepts
prerequisite to the understanding of mathematical and linguistic teaching they will receive in the
Infant classes.
The Nursery class provides an environment in which children learn sharing, caring for and relating to
their peers as well as opportunities for creativity through activities such as painting, modelling,
montage, frieze making and puppetry.
They Nursery class lays a firm foundation upon which the children can build as they progress towards
the more formal learning situations of primary education.
