A big welcome to our new children this term!

Our Spring topics are:

Spring 1 topic – What do our grown ups do all day?

Spring 2 topic – Where in the world do we live?

During Spring term 1, we would like the children to come into Nursery and be more independant at putting their belongings away. They will self register themselves and access the morning activities. We will be looking at peoples jobs in particular the police, fire service and doctors and nurses. We will explore colour in the evironment and how to mix them, we will produce art work inspired by Jackson Pollock. In our maths we will look at numbers 3,4 and 5 and begin to subitise to 3.

Our core text in English will be 'The 3 Little Pigs'.

In Spring 2 we will be looking learning about the world and focusing on our local community. The children will have a short walk around our local area and will post an important letter! We will start to hold a pencil comfortably and some of us will begin to have a try at going over the letters in our names.In our maths the children will be learning 2D and 3D shapes and start to recite numbers past 5.

Children will learn phase 1 phonics and we will continue to look at all the different aspects, we will use the Floppy Phonic books to support our learning. Children will begin to take home wordless reading books to help with language skills and story telling

During Spring 2 our core text in English will be 'Mr Gumpy's Motor Car'.

We use the Development Matters guidance document to plan our curriculum. Please click here for Development Matters

Home Learning

Each week I will be asking children to complete a short activity . I will also send a rhyme of the week that I would like you to share with your child. If there is a specific book that we are sharing in class I will send a link home to allow your child to become familiar with the story.
