Nurture Room 

Welcome to our Thrive Hive page.  As we follow the main class curriculum please refer to the Year 3 page for information on literacy, numeracy and WAU.

During planned Nurture activities we will learn how to engage our senses and regulate our emotions.  Many enriching learning experiences will be provided within the setting.  A small selection of which are as follows:

• Circle time
• Snack time
• Sensory walks
• Sensory circuits
• Mindfulness activities
• Cooking
• Gardening

By participating in the above activities, pupils will be developing a variety of fundamental life skills, for example problem solving, working as a team, sharing, waiting and taking turns.  They will also be praised, encouraged and supported along the way to build their confidence and self-esteem.

Term 1

Circle Time - roles and responsibilities, greetings, calendar, thought for the week and Talk Turtle.

An introduction to the Mood Monsters - happy, sad, angry and tired.

Cooking activities to help develop skills such as turn taking, following instructions and working with a partner.

Gardening activities to develop nurturing skills and patience.

Term 2

Circle time to further develop roles and responsibilities, reinforce the golden rules and Talk Turtle.

The Mood Monsters - calm, scared, excited, worried and surprised.

Term 3

We begin to prepare for transitioning back to the main class.  Gradually more time is spent working alongside our peers in Primary 3.  The nurture cycle then begins again and a new group of children are introduced to the Thrive Hive. 

**Remember**

We hope to take many of our activities into the outdoors so please ensure that your child brings a warm coat to school each day.

Thank you for your continued support.
