Welcome to Nursery's class page

This week we have been focusing on the story ‘Stick Man’ by Julia Donaldson. We’ve had a great time joining in with words from the story and completing a range of ‘Stick Man’ activities. Make sure you take a look at our photo gallery to see some of the exciting activities we have been up to!

On Tuesday we also had our first Fire Drill of the year. We were super proud of Nursery, and despite being the smallest children in the school, they got out of the building and lined up in record time. Well done Nursery!

Also this week we started our formal phonics lessons. This is where we begin to tune in to sounds around us to help us make sense of what we can hear in our environment. It also gets us ready for discriminating between speech sounds, which we need to do when we get bigger to start writing words. This week we have linked our phonics to the Nursery rhyme ‘The Wheels on the Bus’. The children loved listening to the different parts and making the noises of the bell, horn, wipers and mummies. As part of our early phonics we are also doing some pre writing work. This week we have practised using a secure pencil grip and have used our pens to draw straight lines that go from the top down and ones that go from left to right across the page. By securing these early writing patterns children will find it easier to draw identifiable pictures and to write actual letters. Why not try singing the song together, going on your own listening walk or incorporating some of these writing shapes in any drawings at home.

Have a good weekend,

Ms Munro, Mrs Roberts and Mrs Shew

Week 5 6.10.25

Home Learning

For homework this week could you take a picture of your child sharing their favourite book and email it in to admin@leverstockgreen.herts.sch.uk. The pictures will be displayed in our reading corner to encourage others to pick up a book!

Important Information

It would be helpful if your child could bring in their welly boots and waterproofs, which can be left in school as the weather is changeable at the moment. After half term we will be starting Forest school with our afternoon children, as part of our 'Welly Wednesdays'. So make sure you have named puddle suits and wellies ready for then at the very latest!

Week 4 29.9.25

If you fancy getting your hands dirty then why not try our no-cook playdough recipe. The children love helping to make our playdough in class. You could even make your recipe more exciting by adding some scents or even some glitter!

’50 Things to do before you’re five’

There is a brand new app for families in Hertfordshire! It’s called ’50 Things to do before you’re five‘, it’s intention is to improve outcomes for our younger children. It’s full of ideas for activities and experiences that can be accessible for everyone that encourage communication and language, being active and trying new things. Many experiences are outdoors and open ended so the whole family can take part!

How many experiences and memories can you tick off?
