Welcome everyone to Summer 2

Welcome back guys!

Summer is here!

We hope you've had a fabulous Whit holiday 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 children are getting really good at using big voices and sentences when speaking to the class. Even our very young pre nursery children are participating at circle time. Well done everyone!

The topic for this half term is 'UNDER THE SEA'! You can find a copy of our Summer 2 Knowledge Organiser on our class page and on Dojo.

We will be learning about the different types of creatures that live in the ocean. We will be reading lots of stories about sea creatures and what they get up to. The traditional tale for this half term is 'Little Red Riding Hood'. We love sharing these lovely stories and will be acting them out in our home corner too. (Watch our for the Big Bad Wolf!)

Nursery children will be learning about the seasonal changes and Summer weather and how to stay sun safe! 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. The weather can be very changeable at this time of year so check the weather forecast and dress your child accordingly. Provide a sun hat on very sunny days. I do have some spare hats but not enough for everyone. We also ask that on these sunny occasions you apply sun cream before school. We will reapply our own sun cream at lunch time if necessary.

Just a polite reminder to please put names in cardigans and jumpers to avoid any confusion. When the weather warms up there is no need to send your child to school with their jumper or cardigan. School shoes must be worn each day, please no sandals or crocs!

Book bags should be brought to school every day. The children are beginning to recount their stories in more detail and some children are even using character voices and dialogue. We have several children who have moved onto our lilac books over the past half term, and I'm certain that we will have more very soon. Keep up the good work! All the shared reading at home is paying off. Thank you parents and carers.

We are really enjoying our daily Read-Write-Inc phonics lessons and the children are beginning to recognise many of the speedy sounds. It is important that children arrive at Nursery at the correct time, as our lessons begin promptly each day.

Thank you for checking out our Dojo Page. We try to post lots of lovely photos so you can see what the children have been learning whilst in Nursery. Thank you for your lovely comments about the photos that we post. 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
