Welcome everyone to Spring 1 

A huge welcome to our brand new Nursery children and to our existing Nursery children!

We hope you've had a fabulous festive holiday and have enjoyed spending time with your families and friends. We are excited to hear what you have all been doing over the Christmas break and what Santa brought you for Christmas. Busy Bee will be helping the children to share their news at circle time. Miss. Fleming and I would love to see any Christmas photos if you care to post them on our Dojo message page. We can show them on the smart screen for the whole class to see!

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

We will be learning about real bears, where they live and what they eat. We will be looking at the differences and similarities between different bear families. We will be reading lots of stories about bears too. I still can't quite believe how many bear stories there are! The traditional tale for this half term is...................

Yes you guessed it, 'Goldilocks and The Three Bears'. We love sharing these wonderful stories and will be acting them out in our home corner too. We have lots of bear themed activities planned and the topic will conclude with a Teddy Bears' Picnic!

Nursery children will be learning about the seasonal changes and Winter weather! 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. Hats, scarves and gloves are a welcome addition as the temperature drops. The weather can be very changeable at this time of year so check the forecast and dress your child accordingly. We will all be saying our prayers for some snow, so we can build our annual snowman and practise our snow angel skills.

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. We are hoping to move some of our more confident children onto a lilac book very soon. Book bags should be brought to school every day please.

Thank you for joining our Dojo class online! (New parents need to watch out for your invite to join) 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 the Three Bears making an appearance!

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
