Welcome to the Nursery Class!

Message from the Nursery Team

Autumn 1 2020

A big welcome to all our nursery families who have joined us this year.

The nursery children are very busy settling in and learning their new routines.

Our topic this half term is 'A great big welcome'.

Over the coming weeks we will add more information to our nursery website about what we will be learning and how you can support at home. If you scroll down the page there are some useful websites etc. that you can access at home.

We have already sent out log in letters about class dojo and tapestry to all parents. These are a great way to communicate between home and school. If you need any help with logging on or using any of these please let a member of staff know.

Our learning begins at 9am so please ensure your child is at nursery before this time. Our day finishes at 2.55pm. If you could make sure that you are on time for your child this avoids any upset. Thank you for your support.

What should my child be learning?

Literacy – Reading/Phonics

Read lots of story books together. Read the same story each day over two weeks. The children will get to know the story really well and will learn lots of story language.
Retell stories you have read
Discuss what is happening in stories, what are the characters like etc…
Listen for sounds in the environment – What sounds can we hear? E.g. door bell, washing machine, dog barking, tap running…
Listen to music – Can you clap/ stamp with the beat?
Hearing and saying rhyming words. E.g. hat cat mat
Looking for words that have the same sound e.g. dog, dinosaur, diamond…
Pretend to talk like a robot e.g. c-a-t d-o-g Can your child tell you what the robot is saying?
Sing lots of nursery rhymes

Literacy – Writing

Name writing focusing on forming letters
Drawing people – focusing on drawing all features of a person

Follow patterns with your pencil
