Great Crosby Catholic Primary School
Welcome to Nursery
Welcome to the Nursery page for our two classes - NBW and NEW.
Dear Parents/Carers,
We hope you are all well and safe and, although it wasn’t the Christmas we usually have, we hope you all enjoyed it. Thank you so much for all the generous gifts you gave us. We really appreciate them.
We have uploaded an overview of sessions we would be doing in Nursery, if we were in. These are just ideas that may give you some resources and links that may help. They do not all need to be completed, as normally most of the children are only in 2 and a half days and we have done a full week’s planning, but it would be lovely for us to see anything that the children manage to do – this can be done by using ‘Evidence Me’.
Scroll down to the Lockdown Planning section.
Best wishes
Mrs Harvey and Mrs Lee

December Stargazing
Look towards the Moon in the hour after sunset during the December to see the planets Jupiter and Saturn close together. They will continue to converge until 21st December, when they will appear very close together. Some people are calling it a 'Christmas Star'. The last time that they were so close at this time of year was in the year 1226. Click on the green button and watch the BBC Sky At Night clip from 1:45.
