Welcome to Early Years at Hillside!
We are Hillside’s Early Years unit, there are forty-seven of us and we are fun, happy and confident little children. Our class teachers are Miss Hewitt and Miss Cotterill and they are supported by Mrs Hollinshead and Mrs Green.
We are mixed Reception and Nursery children spread over two classrooms and joined by a covered outdoor canopy, during our play we are able to free-flow between any of the areas. We also have daily access to an amazing outside playground area, our own agility trail (weather permitting) and not forgetting a HUGE, secure woodland area that we explore each week.
We have lots of time to learn through our play and the teachers love to find out about what we like to do and make sure that our activities are exciting for us. We are very enthusiastic and love taking on any challenge they set!
During our time in the Early Years we also take part in short carpet sessions throughout the day working on our phonics and maths skills, these are fun and interactive activities that we love to get involved with!
We cannot wait to be going on some fun educational visits this year – starting with a trip to see Santa at Christmas!
