Welcome to Nursery

Our topic this half term is:   

                   Long Ago

In this project, the children will be exploring the past. We look at how we have changed and will invite grandparents to talk to us about what things were like when they were young. We will explore how technology has changed and how engineers have made technology better. 

During this term we will be discussing Mother's Day and making gifts and cards. We will also learn about Easter and why we celebrate it. We will also make Easter bonnets, cards and baskets and take part in an Easter Bonnet parade which parents and carers can attend. 

In Physical Development, we will continue with 'Doodle sticks' in the school hall that will encourage children to make marks to movements.

In Phonics we will be reading a wide selection of traditional stories and nursery rhymes from the past, aswell as starting to learn the picture names for the letter symbols from our RWI phonics scheme.

Home Learning:

MiniMash: Children are encouraged to explore MiniMash at home as well as in the classroom, trying out different activities linked to learning across the curriculum. 
 

Home Learning Project: We encourage children to complete a home learning project linked to their curriculum project being studied with some help from their grown up, if needed. Home learning projects provide a fun and creative opportunity for children to practise and apply new skills, as well as express their knowledge in a topic area.
