Summer Term 1

This term we will be busy learning about the Superpowers of Minibeast starting with a visit from a Ranger who will introduce the children to a variety of minibeast, such as Tarantula, Snakes, Lizards and two Mammals usually a kinkajou (Honey Bear) or Skunk, and an Owl or Kookaburra, which will bring the topic to life. In art-based/creative activities, we will draw, collage and paint simple representations of ourselves. To develop our musical skills, we will continue learning new rhymes and songs, to develop melodic shape.

Home Reading- All children in Nursery have a clear communication folder which holds their reading diary and weekly books. Children receive 2 books weekly: one is chosen by the children to encourage and foster the love of books and the second is designed to support children to develop early reading behaviours. (See 'How to support my child in early reading' below). Please return the communication folder to school each Tuesday with the reading diary and 2 books, these will be returned to you on Wednesday. We strongly encourage children to read at least 3 times weekly at home.

PE - Nursery have PE on Monday (morning and day children) and Friday (afternoon and day children). Please send your child to school in their PE kit on these days - PE lessons may be outdoors (weather permitting) so you may wish to consider your child having a tracksuit for the day. Please make sure all earrings are removed or covered with tape before school on these days.
