Welcome to Nursery!

Teaching Assistants: Mrs Brewster, Miss Wyatt and Mrs Fairweather
Our Nursery children have made a wonderful start to their school journey this term. They have settled into their new environment beautifully, building friendships, exploring the classroom and outdoor area, and becoming familiar with daily routines. It has been lovely to see their growing confidence as they join in with songs, stories, and creative activities.
In Autumn 1, we will begin by exploring the exciting transition to school, supporting children as they settle into Nursery and develop confidence, friendships and independence. Our learning will be inspired by wonderful texts including The Colour Monster Goes to School, Owl Babies, Funnybones, Leaf Man and Pumpkin Soup. Through these stories, we will explore the changing autumn season, our feelings, families, friendships and celebrations, while developing children’s communication, creativity and curiosity through play and exploration.
In Autumn 2, our learning will explore some of the exciting celebrations and traditions that take place during autumn and winter. We will discover the sights, sounds and experiences of Bonfire Night through Little Glow, learn about Diwali through Binny’s Diwali, and explore the magic of Christmas through stories such as Stick Man and The Jolly Christmas Postman. These engaging texts will inspire opportunities for children to develop their understanding of the world, celebrate similarities and differences, and express their ideas through stories, art, music and imaginative play.
Throughout the term, the children will also develop their early maths skills by exploring colours, matching, sorting, patterns, and numbers 1, 2, and 3. The children will be introduced to some of the fun and exciting characters from Ten Town. Through Rhyme Town, the children will begin to explore different pre reading and writing skills, including alliteration, voice sounds and oral blending and segmenting.
In RE, the children will learn about our school’s core Christian values and explore Bible stories such as The Creation Story. During the month of December, the children will learn
The children in Nursery will enjoy PE sessions with our sports coaches, Megan and Luke, every Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning.
It has been a joy to see the children begin their learning journey with such enthusiasm, and we are looking forward to an exciting term of fun, growth, and discovery together.
