Nursery

Welcome to Nursery

Miss Maxted, Mrs Constantine and Miss Akhtar make up our Early Years team

Autumn Term 2024

English

In Nursery children will focus on nursery rhymes using the key text ‘My First Mother Goose.’

Children will be encouraged to join in with nursery rhymes, fill in missing words and complete actions to the rhyme.

This half term children will be listening carefully to sounds in the environment and identifying what these are.

Children will also be creating sounds with musical instruments and body percussion.

Children will be exposed to a wide range of fiction and non- fiction books and will be encouraged to talk about their favourite parts, key characters, and events.

Maths

Children will be using numbers in play - matching, sorting, comparing objects according to size and comparing quantities using ‘more’ and ‘fewer.’

Children will be learning about numbers, recognising the symbol, counting objects, making marks, and using numicon and number blocks to support their understanding.

Theme

We will be using our key texts as a stimulus to explore and share about our own lives and the lives of others, including places we live, foods we like to eat and our favourite animals. Our Geography sessions will focus on where we live, our school environment and the immediate surroundings of our school. Our science sessions will focus on investigating woodland creatures and their habitats, exploring the concept of nocturnal animals, and thinking about seasonal change too.
