Autumn 2 Half term Let’s Celebrate 

This half term we will be exploring different celebrations and cultures. We will be looking at similarities and differences in the way people all over the World celebrate events. We will be talking about how important we are in our own celebrations and in the wilder community. The children will be starting to write their own names independently. We will be introducing more Read Write Ink sounds. Nursery will be exploring numbers up to 10, looking and creating patterns of two colours. The children will be ordering objects according to their size- small, medium and large. As a nursery we will be exploring and experimenting with a variety of resources, looking at how things work and which materials would and could work when creating things. This half term we will also engage with different types of reading materials including digital ones. 
Nursery will be starting our outdoor learning, a group a day will be going outside to complete activities, which will be related to our topic. 
The children will be learning the songs for our Christmas Concert. We are looking forward to a busy and fun half term.

Welcome to Nursery!

Welcome to Nursery. We hope your child is excited to start school and is looking forward to the year ahead. There will be lots of learning through play and songs, group work and independent work. There will be a lot of practice at counting, number recognition, adding and subtracting, reading and writing.

If you wish to discuss any matters with your child's teacher please feel free to see us during drop off or pick up times. You can also e mail the school and we will reply as soon as we can.

Please remember to label your child's snack. Your child does not need a water bottle for Nursery.

P.E day will be a Monday. Please can you send your child to school in their P.E kit including trainers. Some days we will be going outside and your child will require wellies. but we will let you know before hand.

Please could you label everything that comes into school. As this makes it easier for when we are getting ready for home time. 

Can you please send your child to Nursery with a coat everyday.

Every Friday a child will be bringing home Ticw. We would like you to write a little about what you have done over the weekend. We would love to see a couple of photos too. Ticw is learning to speak Welsh and if you could include a few Welsh words and phrases too that would be fantastic.

The Class page will be updated regularly. With things we have been doing within Nursery.

Diolch and Thank you
