Welcome to Summer 2026!
Miss Gregson, Mrs Burgess, Mrs Walker, Miss Murphy and Mrs Blaik are eager to begin this term with your children!
During this term, your children will continue to build on their friendships and use their independent skills in all areas of Nursery life. For those children who will be moving on in September, we will begin the transition process and give them lots of opportunities to continue to develop the skills they need for the next stage of their school life!
Our over-arching statement for Term 5 will be
Roots, shoots and muddy boots!
Over the term (April-May) we aim to explore the question…
If I squish a spider, does it really matter?
Using a range of ‘hooks’ including familiar books and interesting photographs, the children will explore a range of garden themed activities including plants, insects, weather, wildlife and fruit and vegetables. We know that children are more likely to engage with their learning if presented with meaningful contexts and have a keen interest in the subject matter. Therefore, staff remain open on the path we take to explore new concepts and skills.
Staff are always willing to discuss ways in which you can help your child at home. Feel free to ask if you require some inspiration or ideas about a specific area of learning!
In Nursery, we follow the Master the Curriculum scheme for mathematics. The table below shows how the scheme helps to build the children's understanding.
Don't forget book bags are needed EVERY Wednesday. If your child wants an extra opportunity to become the 'Reading Champion', please upload 'book experiences' on Tapestry by Tuesday evening of that week! All children are given the opportunity to be 'Reading Champion' as we look to recognise the children enjoying books while they're with us!
