This week in nursery we explore the tale “Peace at Last”. Through interactive activities, these young nursery learners delve into the characteristics and habitats of bears, forging a connection between the fictional world of Mrs Bear and the real wonders of these creatures. Guided by their adults, the nursery children embark on a journey of discovery, blending the magic of storytelling with the joy of learning about the natural world around them.

To help your child extend this wonderful learning experience you can do a few things at home with your child: Create a story box with an old shoe box about the story, talk about what bears do, role play the story, talk to your child about the importance of sleep and going to bed early.

In math’s we have been using building blocks to make objects and count how many blocks we have used. The children have really enjoyed carrying out this activity. We have been using numbers in our songs, in our play and outside when playing with our friends. Please continue to support your child with counting at home and get them involved when going out shopping!

Welcome to our Nursery. The children have all had a great start to the term learning about light and festivals. We have been decorating objects with patterns to learn more about the festival Diwali. The children have also really enjoyed using our book corner to read for pleasure. We welcome parents to join us every Friday at 8.50am to read with your child for 30mins. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to see how your child is getting on at school and a chance for them to use lots of language to retell stories. We are also learning to count to 10 in Maths using different natural objects such as sticks, leaves and conkers that we have picked up from outside. The children are really enjoying their physical play and love to explore outside with their friends. We would really appreciate it if you could kindly label the children’s bottles with their names and any school jumpers or t shirts. Thank you for your help and support.
