Take a look below at all of our lovely paintings and drawings on display around the classroom. We have been working very hard on our fine motor skills.
This week in nursery, the children have been learning about the habitats of jungle animals and what kinds of animals might live in the jungle. They have been painting different animals that live in the jungle and acting out as gorillas, lions, and monkeys. They have enjoyed learning about the special features of these animals and have been designing their own animal masks. The children have also been working hard on their counting, cutting out different animals, and writing different labels/captions. The children are working extremely hard on their early sound recognition every morning in phonics. Please continue to help your child form letters at home and continue practicing writing their names. We would also appreciate it if you could read them a story every night before bed to help with their listening and comprehension skills.
Thank you for your continued support and help.

This week in nursery, we continue to learn about the creatures that we might find in the jungle. Here are a few pictures of the nursery children to show you their learning. We are continuing to read the story Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler this week. In maths we are continuing to count our numbers to 10 and recognising the numbers. We are also working really hard this term on writing our letters. Please continue to support your child at home by reading a story to them everyday or perhaps taking them to a local library.
Thank you for your support,
The Nursery Team
We are reading the story Monkey puzzle for the next 2 weeks. We will be learning about the jungle and how to be a helpful friend. In the story, the butterfly was a helpful friend because she helped baby monkey find his family. Ask your child how they can help you at home? How can they be a good friend? Perhaps, a good brother or sister? How can we show kindness ?
Here is a link of the story below:

As the seasons change, we will use our senses to explore the world outdoors. We will learn about healthy food choices, where vegetables come from and the growing process of seeds. We will discover the importance of farming and farm animals in many different communities.
Home learning – can you design a healthy eating plate with your child at home ?
Please see an example below:

Please kindly bring in any empty egg cartons, toilet rolls, empty milk containers or any cardboard boxes. We would really appreciate it! This term we will be creating lots of inventions using junk modelling resources both indoors and outdoors.
Thank you for your help.
We have an exciting competition aimed at encouraging children to improve their attendance and giving them a chance to win something special. Please see below for details.
Welcome back to the summer term! We hope you enjoyed a wonderful break at home with your children. This week, the children have been diligently practicing writing letters and their own names. They have been actively engaged in self-initiated learning, solving puzzles, drawing pictures, painting, digging, and building with blocks. Additionally, we have been exploring the fascinating world of mini beasts, venturing outside to discover them and creating our own mini beasts using playdough.
It has been a wonderful term and the children have done so well! We are so incredibly proud of every single child. The children are continuously developing in their areas of learning and have made so much progress in their communication and social skills. We will be breaking up for the Easter holidays this Thursday at 2pm and we will return back to school on Monday 15th April 2024. Thank you for all your support, encouragement and kind words every morning.
Best Regards,
The EYFS/Nursery Team
