Nursery

Welcome back, we hope you have had a lovely half term holiday.  We have missed the children, and we are looking forward to an exciting half term ahead.  This half term our topic is Under the Sea and we will be enjoying our visit to the Sealife Centre at the Trafford Centre, this will be our ‘WOW’ experience for the children to enhance their learning throughout the topic.

In Numeracy we will be continuing to recognise and order numbers, linked to this we will be writing numbers.  We will also be learning about the properties of 2D and 3D shapes.

In Literacy and Personal and Social time we will be looking at stories that enable the children to talk about their feelings, ‘Rainbow Fish’, ‘Sharing a Shell’ and ‘Little Fish’ all explore feelings themes.  We will also be looking at non-fiction books, writing about our trip to the Sealife Centre and doing lots of speaking and listening activities.  We also need to continue to write our names.

Things you can do at home:

• Watch under the sea programs on the television, talking about what they are seeing.
• Look for shapes in the environment – what 2D/3D shapes can they recognise?
• Continue counting, recognising and writing numbers.
• Practise writing your child’s name.
• Ask your children to spot phonic sounds in the environment that they recognise.  Are they able to recognise the sounds/letters in their names?
• Completing your child’s homework with comments, so that we are able to assess how well the children have completed the task.

Please see our overview below to find out more about the learning we will be doing this half term.

We are looking forward to an exciting last half term ahead. Thank you for all your support.

Kind Regards,

Nursery team
