Nursery
Welcome to Saplings Nursery Class!
Dear parents/carers
Welcome to our Nursery Class, and for those of you who are new to the school, to Riverside Primary School and Nursery! We hope that you are as excited as we are to begin our year together.
As your Class Teacher I am supported by Mrs Austin, Miss Saddique and Mrs Parvez. You will be informed individually who is your Key Person and will help guide you and support you in your learning.
This is your class page and is one place where we celebrate all the amazing things that we have been experiencing, exploring and achieving. Please check this page regularly to share in the learning your child does and find out about important dates and information. I will prompt you to useful information and websites, as well as guiding you with ways to support your child at home. Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to see here.

RWI Phonics
At Riverside we use Read Write Inc to teach our children how to read and write. In nursery, we explore oral blending and teach single sounds (Set 1). Below are some oral blending videos with Elly and Fred. If you click on the RWI Phonics crayon you will find the Set 1 sounds that we have looked at in nursery.
