Spring A - Starry night

Summer A - Are Eggs Alive?
Summer B - Build it up
Our learning project this term is 'Build it up'.
Mr Carey, our site manager, will be visiting Nursery to show the children how to build a real wall, and they will all get to have a go too. As part of our science topic, the children will sort different materials into hard or soft, and rough or smooth. We will share books like 'The Three Little Pigs' and 'Whatever Next?', and the children will also learn about the different jobs that people do, and think about what jobs they might like to do in the future.
How to help your child this half term
Encourage your child to be independent, e.g. putting on their own coat. Play turn taking games so they can learn to wait for their turn. Share stories at home every day and talk about the characters, or see if they can recall/retell favourite and familiar stories. Talk to them about what is happening in the world around them and what changes they can see e.g. changing seasons, the weather and the different clothes we wear.
Library books
The children will choose a library book to bring home every Wednesday. We will provide a manilla folder for each child, but you may wish to purchase a green Lakeside book folder through parent pay at a cost of £4.50. Could you please send their reading folder to school every Wednesday. Thank you.
