Our Provision
We provide challenging learning experiences, that help develop our children’s independence. Opportunities to practise skills through play are abundant.
Nursery: Autumn – Celebrations!
Literacy
We will be reading and joining in with stories including ‘The Gingerbread Man’ and ‘Dear Santa’.
We’ll be beginning to learn about the sounds (or phonemes) in words and also talking about words that rhyme.
Reception with be learning festive songs to create our own Nursery performance.
Maths
In Maths we’ll continue to practise our counting, helping the children to understand that the last number we say when counting tells us how many there are. We will be comparing groups of objects and talking about which group has more and which have fewer.
We will also be using real money in our role-play shop and using shapes to make our own pictures.
Outdoor Play
We love to play outdoors in Nursery!
Please make sure your child brings a waterproof coat each day. As it gets colder, each child should also bring a hat and gloves. Please make sure these are named so that we can get these back to you if they get lost.
Topic
Celebrations! – We will be finding out about how people celebrate Bonfire night, Diwali, Birthdays and Christmas. We will have our own Bonfire in Nursery!
The Gingerbread Man – We’ll be reading the traditional tale, ‘The Gingerbread Man’, and finding out how to make our own gingerbread people.
P.E (Sport)
P.E will be every Thursday. Please dress your child in a PE kit on this day.
We’ll be using the apparatus and movement play resources to help the children develop their balance, coordination and strength.
PSHE
We will be talking about our home lives, how we celebrate with our families and what we like to do when we’re not at Nursery. You can help your child by sharing picture of some of the things they do at home on Tapestry.
