Welcome to Nursery 

Welcome back to Summer Term in Nursery!

Summer Term is a beautiful term where we really start to see the children blossom into the amazing children that they are. We have a lot of exciting opportunities and hands on activities for the children to partake in. We are thrilled to be welcoming a lot of new children this term. We know that Nursery will bring challenges as they begin their school journey in EYFS but with everyone’s support, we know your child can succeed! We hope that you had an enjoyable, relaxing, and memorable Easter and that you have all stayed safe and healthy. We look forward to hearing what the children have been getting up to and what the Easter bunny brought them for Easter. I am sure they all have lots of news to share.

In the Summer Term we will be learning a lot of new and stimulating things. Our first topic is ‘Houses and Homes’ which is all about where we live, what the outside of our homes look like, what rooms we have in our homes, who lives with us and the different types of houses. The second topic we will be doing is ‘Come Fly with Me’ which is all about Asia, India, China and Russia. The children will learn all about cultures, foods, weather and much more. We will also be getting creative with Father’s Day activities and even a graduation assembly. We will have a lot of hands-on activities for the children to partake in and we will capture their every move.

In English, we will be concentrating on our English language using nursery rhymes and discussion times. The children will be encouraged to communicate with adults and other children too. In Maths, we will start by looking at numbers 1 – 10 using songs and nursery rhymes then we will focus on our main numbers 1 – 3. Throughout the day we will encourage children to try and use their numbers effectively. We will also be looking at patterns, shapes and weights. Reading is also very important for the children to develop their understanding of pictures and everyday objects.

​

Forest school will be taught once a week. This will be taught on Wednesdays. Children will need a waterproof coat and wellies so that no matter the weather we are able to partake in Forest School.

It would also be appreciated if all uniform (including spare clothing, hats and water bottles) could be labelled with your child’s full name and class. ALL children will always need a spare pair of clothes in school, in case of any accidents.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your class teacher at the end of the school day or via Class Dojos. Thank you in anticipation of your continued support.

We ae looking forward to a fun packed Summer Term full of learning and progress.
