Spring 1
Curriculum
This half term our theme is ‘The World Around Us’. We will be learning about different animals and where they live in the world. We will discuss the different animals and describe what they look like. We will match animal noises to the animals, as well as moving like them. We will be looking at the habitats of the animals and in particular looking at whether these places are hot or cold. There will be lots of opportunities for the children to create and make pictures using paint and different collage materials. Our books of the week will include: Dear Zoo, I Am a Tiger, We are Going on a Lion Hunt, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Wow said the Owl. The children will be singing counting rhymes and exploring ideas of shape, space and measure within our areas of provision both inside and outside.
Prime Areas of Learning
We will be focusing on Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language, and Physical Development. Opportunities to support your child’s development in these are primarily embedded in the continuous provision provided and are then enhanced by the gentle guidance and support of the practitioners in the setting. The teaching of daily phonics develops early listening and attention skills and your child’s participation in group time will support them in making relationships and help them to grow in confidence.
Welcome to our January starters.
We hope you like our Nursery. We have lots of resources to support your child’s learning.
General Information
Nursery session times:
Morning children: 8.35am—11.35am.
Afternoon children: 12.20pm—3.20pm.
Attendance is very important for the children’s learning. Please ensure your child is at school for the start of their Nursery session.
Please ensure your child’s jumper, cardigan, coat and shoes are labelled with your child’s name to ensure your child brings their items back home with them.
If you think that your child might have an accident in school, then please send them with a spare change of clothes in their bag.
Ways to help your child
As we head into Winter, we ask that your child brings a warm coat, hat, gloves and a scarf to school as we learn outdoors whatever the weather and we want your child to be warm and comfortable.
In Nursery we aim to promote independence. You can help at home by encouraging your child to independently put on their coat and shoes.
Please note that children are not permitted to bring toys or teddies into school as these can get broken or lost and we don't want the children to get upset if this happens.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs Haigh, Miss Pamment, Mrs Schofield and Mrs Dzwigala
