Welcome to Nursery!

Class teacher – Mrs Rowling

A big welcome to our new children this term!

Our Summer topics are:

Spring

What is happening in the garden?

What might we find at the seaside?

In Summer 1 our topic is ‘What is happening in the garden?’. We will be offering the children challenges and helping them to solve them by encouraging the children to persevere. In physical development the children will continue to strengthen their fingers to help hold their pencil confidently, we will focus on writing our names and forming letters correctly. We will be sharing the story 'Jack and the Beanstalk', the children will be using talk to give instructions to each other to tell each other how to grow a bean. In our maths we will subitise securely to 3 and count out accurately from a group up to 5. We will be focusing on what is growing around us, we will look at plants, different life cycles and ourselves and the changes we will see.

In Summer 2 our topic is ‘What might we find at the seaside?'. The children will be expected to be more independent in their classroom routines and making healthy choices in preparation for starting school in September. The children will be encouraged to write their name by copying or attempting some letters. We will be using the story 'Storm Whale' as our core text, we will use our imagination to change the story and use new language that we have learnt to talk about our new version. The children will be invited to come on a pretend holiday, we would like them to experience what it is like to go on a holiday and also talk about our own experiences of going on holiday. In our maths we willbe counting confidently beyond 5 and using prepositions to locate items.

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