Nursery

Hi Nursery Parents,

It has been a lovely first week at Nursery, the children are settling in really well and we have had lots of fun playing and exploring the different toys. We have particularly enjoyed building towers using the duplo, playing with the small world animals and making marks in the writing area. We have also enjoyed playing in the home corner, singing Nursery rhymes and listening to stories. 

Check out our photos below to see what we have been up to! 

Our first topic in Autumn Term 2020 will be

Nursery 2019-2020 Academic Year

Hi Nursery,

Hope you are all having lots of fun at home with your families and keeping safe!

Even though we are not at Nursery, you can still be doing some activities to develop the skills needed for phonics and Maths.

• You could try going outside in the garden/ opening a window and listening to the different sounds you can hear.

• Try exploring any musical instruments you have in the house or try making an instrument of your own.

• Can you sing a nursery rhyme and talk about the words that rhyme.

• Ask an adult to play Jolly Phonics on Youtube and see if you can join in with the actions and rhymes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qpn2839Kro

• You could put animals, or any other toy, in water or sand and count how many you have.

• Try using paint and draw different shapes and count how many sides they have.

• Decorate Easters eggs, which a grown up has drawn for you, and tell someone which colours you are using.

Everyday in Nursery we always sing the weather song and the days of the week. Ask an adult to play these two songs on Youtube every day, so that you can continue to learn them.

Haden Hill Park

On Friday 28th June, Nursery went on a trip to Haden Hill Park.

We spent time on both play areas, some boys even went digging for bones!! The children then went on a nature treasure hunt around the park.

We had a picnic together in front of the house, before having a delicious ice-cream as a treat.

Finally we had a lot of fun playing on the field together.

Thank-you to all of the children and their parents who came along!

Sports Day

We had a Sports Day of our very own at Nursery on Thursday 27th June.

We had so much fun taking part in different events.

Well done to all of the children!

Chinese New Year

On Tuesday 5th February, we celebrated Chinese New Year in Nursery.

We had so much fun dancing to Chinese music using musical instruments, decorating Chinese lanterns and printing Chinese dragons using lots of bright colours!

Your child will have the opportunity to chose a book to take home.

Please spend some time with your child reading to them and discussing what is happening on each page.

Please write a comment in your child's reading diary when you have read to them at home.

The reading books are changed throughout the week and your child needs to bring their book bag every day.

Thank you.
