Enjoying art - nursery with reception Early Years Outing From the beginning great emphasis is placed on music and sport. Children in the Foundation Stage take part in singing, percussion, music and movement and games lessons with specialist teachers. They also have their own music and drama productions at least twice a year supported by the children in Transition and join in the whole school Sports Day in the summer term. Parents are always invited to attend these very enjoyable occasions. The Nursery programme is interspersed with interesting visits and trips to exciting places. Christmas 2009 Nativity 2010
