Welcome to Nursery

Miss Martin and Mrs Bunn welcome you to Nursery!

For the first week of term we will be celebrating and learning about Eid.  We wish all our families Eid Mubarak.

 

Our Nursery projects for the rest of this term is ‘The Great Outdoors’

During our project the children will be given the opportunity to choose what they would like to learn and how they would like to develop their project. We will share some of the exciting things we learn with you as our project develops through regular class updates (see below). Throughout our project the children will be developing as:

• ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives
• enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work
• ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world
• healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.

If you would like to get involved in our project and have expertise in any aspect of our project that you would like to bring into school, please contact the school office.

Literacy

This term our learning will be based around the books ‘Superworm’, ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ and ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’. We will be going on our very own bear hunt and retelling the story by mark making, as well as using a Beebot which we will navigate through the story. We are very lucky because we will have our very own caterpillars in nursery which we will be observing and setting free as soon as they emerge as butterflies. We will also be setting up our very own wormeries, so we can make observations and study the worms.

Please provide a variety of different mark making tools for your child to use at home (paint, chalk, crayons, thick pens, thin pens etc) to support their learning.

We will continue to write our first names.  All children will be encouraged to use a tripod pencil grip and to form the letters correctly.

We will begin to learn single phonic sounds using the “Twinkl” phonic scheme.

 

Numeracy

We will continue singing number rhymes and songs linked to our winter project, counting forwards and backwards and recognising numbers all around us. We will begin to recognise numbers 0-10 and to count objects both in the nursery and outside in our school grounds.

We will be encouraging the children to write numbers 1 – 5 correctly.

Within our topic of “The Great Outdoors”, we will be further developing our knowledge of numbers by counting spots on ladybirds, grouping sets of bears and using finger paints to create a caterpillar’s body. We will also be looking at measurements when we compare the lengths of worms, as well as continuing to record data when we use tally charts and pictograms to identify children’s favourite bears and fruits.
