Welcome everyone to Summer 1

Hi everyone and a special welcome to our new starters!

We hope you've had a fabulous Easter break and have enjoyed spending time with your families and friends. We are excited to hear what you have all been doing over the holiday. Busy Bee will be helping the children to share their news at circle time. 

The topic for this half term is 'ANIMALS'! You can find a copy of our Summer 1 Knowledge Organiser on our class webpage and on Dojo.

We will be learning about different animals and their babies, including farm animals, wild animals, and pets! The children will enjoy our mini topic about the life-cycle of a duck as we will have our very own batch of duck eggs to hatch! We will keep you updated on their development on dojo.

Nursery children will also be looking for signs of Summer in the Nursery garden as the weeks progress. We love being outdoors and whenever possible we will spend some time learning in the fresh air, in our extended classroom. Please keep your eye on the daily weather forecast and make sure your child wears an appropriate coat and footwear. As the season progresses and the weather warms up, children are encouraged to bring a sun hat each day.

We will be reading lots of stories about animals over the coming weeks and the traditional tale for this half term is 'The Ugly Duckling'. We love sharing these wonderful stories and will be reenacting them using props and puppets.

We hope you are enjoying reading your child's story book each week with them. Please take time to make a comment in the reading diary provided! Reading with your child is a great way to encourage a love of books and develop so many skills, including language and communication. Several of our more confident children have moved onto a lilac book already. Book bags should be brought to school every day please.

Thank you for joining our Dojo class online!  We try to post lots of lovely photos so you can see what the children have been learning whilst in Nursery. You can like and comment on our daily posts. Watch out for any notices about upcoming events in Nursery.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. You can message us via Class Dojo or speak to us at the end of the school day.

Kind regards

Mrs. Suthern and Miss. Fleming
