Hello,
Thank you for visiting our class page. As we approach the end of term, we are now getting busy with Christmas activities at school. The children are getting excited as we prepare for our school Nativity. We would love for you to come and see our performances on Thursday 18th December at 2pm (for Afternoon Nursery) and Friday 19th December at 9am (for Morning Nursery).
Thank you

Our learning this half term
This half term we will be thinking about the question “Where do the animals live?”
Through our key texts we will be observing which animals live in the jungle and which animals live in the water!
Over the next couple of weeks, we will be busy developing our fine motor skills by using tools such as scissors, brushes and dance ribbons. We will continue counting and learning our numbers and we will explore shapes too.
We will also begin to focus on familiar words and logos that we see in our environment and encourage the children to join in with repeated refrains from stories. Towards the end of the term, we will prepare for Christmas, by learning about baby Jesus.
Medium Term Planning
Library day
Every Tuesday the children in Nursery are invited to choose a book from our library which they can then take home to share with their family. The chosen book, can then be returned on the following Tuesday giving them the opportunity to select a new book.
Snack times
Snack time is a very important part of our Nursery day and all children are provided with a healthy piece of fruit along with the option of having a drink of milk or water each day.
Nature Tots
Every Thursday, Miss Sharples takes the children in small groups for some outdoor learning. This is an opportunity for the children to explore the environment around them and experience nature through their senses and learn important skills.
Coats
Now that the weather is beginning to change, could you please send your child with an appropriate coat as many are choosing to take part in outdoor learning opportunities.
E-Safety
Sometimes children like to have some screen time. Here is a short rhyme and a link with a story to help your child when online.
Having fun at Nursery!
