Our learning this half term

This half term we will be thinking about the question, “Can you find a friend?”

As the new academic year starts, we will be joined by new children in Nursery. This term we will focus on building positive relationships with the grown-ups in class as well as the children forming positive relationships with each other.

We will talk about what a friend is and how to be a good friend. To help us understand what friendship looks like in our day to day play, we will be looking at the key texts below, as well as reading a range of books in the classroom.

We will also be singing a variety of songs in the classroom and using different writing instruments to explore making marks.

We will learn to count to 5 in our play and we will talk about different sizes too.

We will also talk about our family members and as the seasons change throughout the year, we will observe the weather too.

This half term we will also be exploring religious items and artefacts.

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.
