Nursery

Welcome to Nursery

Teacher – Mrs. Delamere

Teaching Assistants – Miss Taylor & Miss Hull

Welcome back, we hope that you all enjoyed a lovely Easter break.

Our topic for this term is ‘Growth’ and the children will be engaging in lots of activities linked to ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. Soon we will be planting some magic beans sent to us by Jack. We will be observing the life cycle of a bean plant and recording our observations. Later on in the term we will be learning about the life cycle of a butterfly by observing living caterpillars transform into butterflies.

In phonics our Nursery 1 children will be focusing on rhythm and rhyme, alliteration and identifying environmental and instrumental sounds. Nursery 2 children will be focusing on blending and segmenting simple words i.e. d-o-g, c-a-t, p-i-g. We will learn a new letter sound each week which will be displayed in the Nursery cloakroom.

In Mathematics we are concentrating on numbers 1-10 – recognising them, putting them in order, accurately counting objects in an irregular arrangement and finding one more or one fewer than a given number up to 5. We are also looking at simple 2D and 3D shapes and their properties, making patterns, exploring differences in size, length, weight and capacity, and learning to use positional language.

In Summer 2 term we will be starting our transition visits to Reception to prepare the children for when they start school in September.
