A big welcome to our new children this term!

Our Summer topics are:

Summer

What is happening outside?

What will we find at the seaside?

During Summer term , we will be become more independent in the Nursery setting. We will be encouraging children to make healthy choices at the snack table and manage their own personal hygiene. We will be providing lots of challeneges for the children and supporting them to become more resilient when finding things difficult. We will be using the text 'Jasper's Beanstalk' and 'Jack and the Beanstalk' to support our learning. We will be encouraging children to make marks and give meaning and draw more complex pictures adding details. We will use a wider range of vocabulary to give each other instructions of how to grow a bean. In our maths we will be confidently subitising to 3, accurately counting to 5 and understanding positional language. We will be using the outdoors lots to support our learning, making observations on the changes in the environment and understanding the need to care for it and all living things.

In Summer 2 we will continue to build relationships with our peers and understand the need to share. We will encourage children to solve conflict with little adult support. Our topic books to support our learning are 'Commotion in the Ocean' and 'The Night pirates'. We will use the texts to explore rhyme and alliteration. We will make story maps and think about how we can change a story to make it our own. We will focus on holding our pencils comfortably and writing our names either independently or copied. We will use our senses to explore different things that we might find on the beach and look at how different countries differ to ours.

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