Weekly News from Pre-Prep 18.09.26

This week in Truro School Pre-Prep, pupils across Nursery to Year 2 have enjoyed a wide range of creative, collaborative and active learning experiences.

In Nursery, the children began their afternoon by looking carefully at the calendar and celebrating the friends with September birthdays, with some decorating balloons for birthday cards to give to their friends on their special day. They also continued exploring different areas of the school grounds, venturing into the treehouse, the apple orchard, the enchanted garden and the woods.

Reception pupils have been focusing on the rhyme ‘London Bridge is Falling Down’ in music, forming human bridges and building their own in Forest School. In maths, they have been subitising with conkers, while in literacy they have been learning their phonics.

In Year 1, pupils have been practising counting forwards to and backwards from 20 in maths, as well as learning how to count in 2s. In science, they have been learning about different animal groups and exploring their features.

Year 2 have continued building their understanding of number, increasing their fluency in recalling the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. In Topic, they have learnt how the Roman Empire spread throughout history, exploring chronology and how timelines are established. In science, they have studied animals and their offspring, asking questions about the similarities and differences across different animal types.

We warmly invite you to attend our next Early Years Open Morning (covering Nursery and Reception) on Saturday, 14 November 2026, 9.30am – 11.30pm.

During the morning, you will have the opportunity to discover why our Nursery and Reception settings will provide the perfect first step for your little one. You will also be able to explore the rest of the Prep School and take part in a number of activities throughout the morning.

In between exploring our fantastic Enchanted Garden and on-site facilities, including our swimming pool and sports hall, you will have time to talk to our dedicated team of teachers and staff and view the inspiring educational and co-curricular activities available to your child.

From teacher-led Nursery provision to specialist teachers for swimming, forest school, music and more, we will guide you through our structured early learning programme, which carefully balances continuous provision (play-based learning) with phonics, maths and early writing.
