Our topic this term is called Let's Explore. The children will be exploring their new classroom both indoors and outdoors. We will be learning how to access the different areas and how to use equipment safely. We will be learning about our school values, expectations and routines within nursery so that we can make friends, share and take turns with our peers. Using the text 'The Colour Monster' the children will learn about their own emotions and feelings.

In phonics, we will be tuning into different environmental and instructmental sounds through various phonic games and also go on a sound hunt around the school grounds.

In PE the children will learning how to move around the hall safely and in different ways. We will introduce our doodlesticks lessons were the children move to different music in the hall.
