Nurture Nest...

14th Dec 2022

πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ Ah LOOK...Our NURTURE NEST!!!! πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€

Check out this invaluable space that we have created in our school. 

This is a very relaxing space that children (and staff) can avail off. 😊😊😊

The 'Nurture Nest' is a special space in the heart of our school, providing a safe and welcoming environment to encourage and develop confidence and self-esteem for our children. 

There is a specific focus on developing resilience, learning self-care and self-respect, together with taking pride in behaving well and achieving.

 

A typical Nest activity...

Activities are planned to meet the needs of individual children but will include some of the following:

  • Class curriculum based work sessions (in line with the curriculum that other class members are following)
  • Mindfulness
  • Directed individual or small group work and activities
  • Story time
  • Structured games (specifically chosen to promote social, academic or emotional skills)

 

What the children think?

β€˜If I have had a bad morning, the Nest makes me feel happy and ready for school’

β€˜I feel happy in the Nest because it is comfortable and relaxed. It helps me to be in the classroom’
