Welcome to Nursery's class page

We hope you all had a wonderful half-term break. We have heard a lot about all the adventures the children have been on.  
 

This week we have started our new topic "Where do we live?". Our story this week was 'The Everywhere Bear.' The children loved exploring the different places the bear had visited and making different bears in class. We have coloured them, painted them and even made moving bears with split pins. We have also been very busy investigating about firework night and Diwali. The children have enjoyed using chalks and glitter to create their own firework pictures and rangoli patterns in the garden. 

In phonics we have learnt Hickory Dickory Dock rhyme. We have had fun making different sound with our voices and even changing the way the mouse moved up the clock, the noises he might make coming down and even swapped the mouse for other animals like a cow, cat or even a dolphin. We have been working hard on our fine motor skills and drawing diagonal lines. 
 

In maths our number this week has been 5. We met Fiona 5 who runs the leisure centre in ten town. She like to help King 1 keep fit and healthy so we have spoken about our favourite sports and healthy foods. 

Next week we move onto another Julia Donaldson story; A Squash and a squeeze. 

Enjoy the weekend, and we look forward to seeing you all next week.

School Ready...

Starting school nursery is an exciting milestone, and helping children develop independence before they begin can make the transition smoother and build their confidence. Every child develops at their own pace, but building routines that help children practise everyday self-care and social skills at home can help them feel more settled and ready to learn in a nursery environment. Why not try some of these suggested activities with your child over the Summer. How many can they achieve?

School Readiness Checklist ✓

• Use the toilet independently and wash hands afterwards.
• Put on and take off their coat and shoes with minimal help.
• Recognise and respond to their own name.
• Follow simple instructions, such as "tidy up" or "sit down."
• Feed themselves using a spoon or fork and drink from an open cup.
• Share toys and take turns with others.
