Hi Nursery!

Our Topic this half-term will be Transport and People Who Help us! 

We start back to school on Tuesday 7th January.  

This Week's learning:

This week we will be learning about different types of transport. We will be learning about the difference between air, water and land transport.    We will be starting our topic by having a think about what we already know about Transport.  In Computing, we will be having a go at sorting the vehicles between wheels and no wheels.  

Nursery Rhyme of the Week

Our Nursery Rhyme of the Week is 2 Little Dickie Birds.  Two Little Birdies Sitting On A Wall - CBeebies

Then, once we have learnt this version, we will start to make up our own using children's own names and choosing different animals too.  It is great to take a song and change it into something fun!

Maths

Last half-term, we have been focussing on a number a week, up to 5.  This half-term we are going to use this knowledge to extend our learning even further.  We will also be thinking about shapes and space.  

This week in maths, we are going to be learning all about position and space.  We will be consolidating our knowledge of the language in, on, under, next to and behind.  We will be using this knowledge to create play spaces and talk about what we notice.  

Phonics

In Phonics, we will be beginning our learning about Rhyme! We will be reading rhyming books and see if we can notice the rhyme.  We will start by reading this story, This is the Bear by Sarah Hayes.

Woodlands 

We will be starting our Woodlands sessions on Thursday.  Please remember Wellies and a waterproof coat.  We have puddle suits or you are welcome to bring your own into school. 

Our Word of the Week is Transport.  We will be finding out what we already know.  Transport means anything that moves, such as - car, van, aeroplane and boat.  We will also be thinking about modes of transport - air, water, land and animals.  

Library will be on Tuesday, this week due to our inset day on Monday.  Please ensure your child has their orange reading book and their library book so we can change it.  

Don't forget on Monday 13th January, we will be starting our Weekly Parents Sharing Book Session. 

Times are: 8.30–8.45am and 2.55pm - 3.10pm.  In the nursery classroom.  Please note: Pudding Lane will be open at 2.55pm for you.  

We hope you all have a lovely week of learning and fun at the Nursery!
