Autumn 1 Term 2024

This half term, we will be settling into our nursery environment and becoming familiar with our daily routines. The children will have the opportunity to explore the various areas and activities across all three nursery classrooms.

Communication and Language: We will be learning a variety of new nursery rhymes to develop our language development and begin to foster a love for rhythm and rhyme.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development: We will be developing independence, forming new friendships, practising taking turns and sharing, and engaging in conversations about our families and homes.

Literacy: We will be reading the book ‘Happy to be me’ by Emma Dodd, a rhyming book that celebrates all body types and explores the amazing things each part of our body can do.

Maths: For our mathematical development, we will be learning to use number names up to 3 and participating in number songs and rhymes.

Physical Development: We will be spending time outdoors, visiting forest school, practising using a knife and fork at lunchtime, independently using the toilet and learning to wash our hands properly.

For PE this half term our focus will be dance. Our sessions will be on the following days:

NS – Tuesday, Friday

NP – Monday, Thursday
