Every day at Nursery

The children sign themselves in by taking their bug name off the leaf and putting it onto the flower. Please teach your child to recognise their own name. Look carefully at the first letter and then go from there! Remember to make it fun!

Nursery Learning

In Nursery, we follow the children's interests in order to keep high levels of motivation to learn. This could be based around all sorts of different themes, from princesses and superheroes to dinosaurs... Even Bluey and Paw Patrol! We plan activities and provision of resources around these themes so that the children can learn about all areas of the EYFS curriculum through their play. These curriculum areas are:

We plan daily so that we can build on things that the children have been particularly interested in and follow their ideas. It also means that we can work on any areas that we have noticed the children are finding tricky.

What are we interested in right now?

Our theme for this half term is ‘Let's Celebrate'. We will be learning about the celebrations of Diwali, Fireworks Night and Christmas. We will also be exploring the season of winter and changes in the weather. During our learning activities, we will focus on making a variety of marks to support early writing and count objects to 3 as part of our maths learning. We are also excited to have our first trip, which will be to Morrisons to buy ingredients to make Gruffalo crumble. We can't wait to perform our Christmas songs to parents and carers as well!

Books we have read last half term

Nursery Home Learning

Nursery Home Learning is to read with your child every day and write in their Reading Record Book. We will read with your child every other week at Nursery and give them a Next Step to work on - please work on this with your child when you read with them. They will borrow 1 book a week from Nursery but you can read other books you have at home too. Please bring their Reading Record Book to Nursery every day. Ladybirds’ books will be changed on a Wednesday. Bumblebees’ and Fireflies' books will be changed on a Friday.

You will also receive a Home Learning sheet each week with activity ideas to explore at home together. We'd love you to share photos or videos of these on Evidence Me.
