Preschoolers

We are very keen at Penny Bridge Nursery in ensuring that our Preschoolers are ready to transition to Reception.

Challenging activities created to get their mind thinking and using Literacy, Mathematical and Physical skills are available everyday and we always encourage all the pre-schoolers to participate in these planned activities. 

We provide the first stages of Read, Write Inc. for the preschool aged children. We also encourage the children to be as independent as they can be. This can be things such as using the toilet and eating their lunch.

The pre-schoolers are also given the opportunity to participate in Forest School each week with our Forest School Leaders; Mel and Amy, and we challenge them weekly with our new initiative, Mathmatical Snack.

Phonics - 

The Monster Phonics Approach

Monster Phonics is an enhanced systematic synthetic phonics scheme. It teaches phonics in a comprehensive structured progression but provides additional multi-sensory support to make learning more memorable and engaging. It uses colour coding and monster sound cues to support learning when children encounter long vowels, silent letters, and tricky letters. This additional support is used consistently and then cleverly phased out, creating confident independent readers. And, it’s not just about the colours; the monsters themselves each represent a sound which brings phonics to life. This creates engagement, and speeds up the learning process for everyone.
