This term we are learning about Animals
Welcome back, we hope you had a good 1/2 break. Hopefully the summer will be a much brighter. I would like to welcome our new children and their families. We look forward to working in partnership to enable your child to have the best nursery experience as possible. We want you all to feel part of our nursery family. If you have an issue or a concern, please come and speak to us, there is no such thing as a silly question. The first two weeks will be a conclusion to our Animal topic. We will then introduce our Under the Sea theme. The children will continue to be learning about the nursery routines and boundaries. Please remember that they are all still very young and for some children this is the first time they have had to share and develop their social skills in a new environment. Children will have disagreements and falling outs, it is normal, so please don't worry. Reminder Please make sure your child has a coat (named) at school and as the weather gets warmer, please make sure they bring a hat and sun cream with them. Wellies can be left at school (please make sure all clothing is named). Our Topic Under the Sea The children will be learning about different types of animals that live in the sea. We will look at water and sun safety. We will focus on one story at a time and build our learning around it. Children will be looking at the different characters, settings and begin to retell the story in their own words. We will also be looking at non fiction books. We would like the children to send in a picture of their holidays or visits to the seaside, so that we can make a display in the nursery. In Numeracy the children will be continuing to recognise, write and count using the numbers up to 5+. We will be learning to count forwards and backwards orally, say the number 1 more than a given number, begin to make marks to represent an amount, write numbers, count objects accurately and find and use numbers as labels and subitise up to 3 (say the number of objects without counting). In Literacy the children will be learning lots of new rhymes, listening to lots of exciting stories and looking at non-fiction books. They will be writing lots of letter shapes and starting to recognise and write their name. They will look at story settings and story characters and talk about how a story might end. The children will take part in a short phonics session daily. Our role play area will be a home corner. In our mini topic we will be learning all about Summer. We will be looking at changes through the season. We have done some planting and hopefully we might have some caterpillars coming to visit.
