Welcome to the Early Years (Anning Class) Page
Your Teacher in Anning Class is Mrs Houghton
Mrs Houghton is Supported by Mrs Lowther, Mrs Spencer, Ms Lyddon and Miss Wood.
Starting Nursery and Reception is a big step in a child's development and for those children starting Reception, this is their first year of being at school full time. One of our aims is for your child to learn and develop, and of course have lots of fun along the way!
In Anning Class we have an exciting approach to ensure the children are engaged and motivated in topic based learning. We are using the Cornerstones Curriculum to provide an overview for our topics. Please see the long term plan to discover the exciting topics we will be covering this year.

A day in the lifeAt Kirby Hill, we teach phonics and maths in discrete sessions. Our topics for each half term then outline what we will teach the children so that they gain essential knowledge. During our ‘Explore Time’ we use a system called ‘In the moment planning.’ This means that the staff in Anning Class will be led by your child and their interests when moving them forwards in their development. We utilise our fantastic outdoor environment as children are able to free-flow inside and outside throughout the day.In Anning class, our partnerships with parents and carers are very important to us. We invite parents to upload pictures and information on their child onto the Evidence Me online learning journal app regularly. The staff in Anning Class are then able to carry these interests through into the classroom.Nursery children will attend Anning Class from 8.40am until 11.40am or until 3.10pm.
