Nursery news – summer term

Hi everyone!

Summer term has almost arrived!

This half term our topic is – ‘Into the woods’.

We will be starting off by looking at non fiction books about woodlands and woodland creatures. Each week we will then have a different story focus using the following stories – Goldilocks and the three bears, Little red riding hood, We’re going on a bear hunt, Winnie the Pooh and the great Heffalump and ending with my favourite The Gruffalo.

As the weather is starting to improve and the sun is starting to shine, can all children please make sure that they have the following things in nursery with them every day…
– sun hat
– sun cream
– water bottle

All of these items need to be in nursery every day and clearly labelled with their name.

Miss Beeden will be joining our EY team this term, teaching in nursery on a Thursday and Friday. She can’t wait to meet you all.

We can’t wait to see you all next week! 🙂

Early years have had very exciting visitors this week!

A big thank you to Mr & Mrs Cookson who visited Early Years with their combine harvester. What an amazing experience to enhance the children’s learning about ‘On the farm’.

Nursery News- On the Farm

We’ve had a wonderful start to our new topic, On the Farm, and the children have been absolutely buzzing with excitement.  They’ve loved sharing their own experiences of visiting farms and talking confidently about the animals they’ve seen.

A particular highlight so far has been the children setting up their own Animal Care Station.  Through imaginative play, they’ve been telling their own stories, caring for animals, and pretending to be farmers- developing their language, creativity and social skills as they play together.

We’re also incredibly grateful to our farmer parents who have kindly agreed to bring in some real farm animals for the children to see.  This will be such a special and memorable experience and a fantastic way to bring our learning to life.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support- we can’t wait to share more farm adventures with you soon!

Nursery Weekly Update

This week the children have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the story Stick Man. They were especially engaged in talking about their own families and sharing who is special to them. Together, we have thought about how families help and care for one another, and we celebrated the fact that all families are unique and different. It has been wonderful to see the children speaking with pride and confidence about the people who are important in their lives.

 

Next week we will be sharing the story Granny Went to Market. The children will be talking about their grandparents and all the lovely things they enjoy doing with them.

We would love it if you could send in a photo of your child with their grandparent(s) to support our discussions and activities.

Nursery Weekly Update

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

We’ve had a wonderful week in Nursery! The children have been very busy singing, talking, designing, and making their own houses. We even imagined our dream homes — from rainbow castles to cosy boat houses — and the children’s creativity really shone through.

 

In maths, we’ve enjoyed singing number rhymes and practising our counting skills. A favourite activity has been collecting and counting acorns for Mr Squirrel in the mud kitchen, which brought lots of excitement and teamwork.

 

It’s been fantastic to see the children’s confidence growing as they share their ideas and join in activities together.

 

Thank you, as always, for your support. We’re looking forward to another fun week ahead!

 

Warm regards,

The Nursery Team

Nursery Weekly Update

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

We’ve had a lovely week in Nursery, with lots of excitement as the children explored the story of The Three Little Pigs.

 

The children have enjoyed:

 

  • Listening to and retelling the story with actions and props.
  • Taking on different roles in our small-world play – we’ve had lots of little pigs and a few very cheeky wolves.
  • Exploring new vocabulary linked to the story, such as “straw,” “sticks,” “bricks,” and “huff and puff.”

 

 

Through these activities, the children have been developing their speaking and listening skills, imagination, and teamwork. They have also been busy with plenty of counting and sorting in their play.

 

We are very proud of how confidently the children have joined in and how much they are growing in independence.

 

Next Week:

Our learning will move on to thinking about our own homes. We will be talking about where we live, what our houses look like, and who we share them with. To help us with our discussions, we would love it if you could send in a photo of your child’s home. This could be printed and brought in, or posted on Seesaw.

This week in Nursery

We’ve had such a fantastic week together! The children have been busy exploring who they are and celebrating what makes each of them unique.

 

Self-Portraits – The children loved creating their very own self-portraits. They carefully looked at their faces, noticed their features, and used a range of colours and materials to bring their pictures to life. It was wonderful to see the pride they took in their work!

 

Core Story: I Like Myself – Our story time focused on this joyful book, which celebrates individuality and self-confidence. The children really connected with the message and enjoyed talking about the things that make them special.

 

Song of the Week: The Power of Me – What a hit! The children sang with such enthusiasm and energy, reminding us all how important it is to believe in ourselves.

 

It’s been a week filled with confidence, creativity, and positivity – we are so proud of how the children are growing in their understanding of themselves and each other.
