Welcome everyone to Summer 1 

Welcome back everybody!

We hope you've had a lovely 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 school 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 the Knowledge Organiser on our class page and on Dojo.

We will be learning about wild animals, farm animals, pets and British wildlife. We will be reading lots of stories about animals. Our traditional tale for this half term is 'The Ugly Duckling'. Nursery are going to hatch our very own ducklings too! How exciting! Feel free to pop in and see how they are getting on once they have hatched. 

The children will learn to sequence events from a familiar story, and they will have lots of fun using the props and puppets to retell the story of 'Come Along Daisy'.

Nursery children will be learning about the seasonal changes and looking for signs of Summer. We love being outdoors and whenever possible we will spend time learning in the fresh air, in our extended classroom. Please provide a suitable outdoor coat each day as the weather can be very changeable at this time of year. As the weather gets warmer we may ask that your child brings a sun hat to school too.

Children should be dressed according to the school uniform policy, this includes sturdy, black school shoes, not trainers or boots. Please remember to write your child's name in cardigans and jumpers. Thank you.

Please ensure that book bags are brought to school every day and keep reading with your child at home as much as possible. We are really pleased with the progress the children are making. Quite a few of the children are now reading the lilac picture books as well as their weekly story books. We also have a few children who are reading the sound blending books from our school reading scheme, Read Write Inc. Wow!.

Thank you for checking out our Dojo Page every day. We try to post lots of lovely photos so you can see what the children have been learning whilst in Nursery. You can send photos and messages back to us so we can see how the children are practicing their skills at home too.

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.

Mrs. Suthern and Miss. Fleming
