Welcome everyone to Summer 2

Hello to all our wonderful Nursery pupils!

We hope you've had a fabulous Whit break and have enjoyed spending time with your families and friends. It was certainly lovely to have some nice weather too! 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 'UNDER THE SEA'! You can find a copy of our Summer 2 Knowledge Organiser on our class webpage and on Dojo.

During he course of this half term, we will be learning about some of the different creatures that live in our oceans, including jelly-fish, dolphins, turtles and many more! The children will  be creating their very own rock pools too.

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. We have already experienced some rather hot and sunny weather, so please provide your child with a sun hat. We advice you to also apply sun-screen before school. We will re-apply sun-screen at lunch time if needed. We provide our own factor 50 sun cream so there is no need to send any in to school.

We will be reading lots of stories about sea creatures and the seaside over the coming weeks. The  traditional tale for this half term is 'Little Red Riding Hood'. 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. Many of our children have moved onto a lilac book also, which is a real achievement. Just a reminder that Reading folders should be brought to school every day please.

Once again 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. We love to read your comments and to know that you are enjoying our 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
