Wonder, Believe, Shine & Achieve - Welcome to Nursery!
Autumn 1 – Regulate Me
This half term, our focus is “Regulate Me”, helping children learn to manage their emotions, build relationships, and settle into school life.
We are spending time playing and getting to know one another, discovering each child’s starting points, and developing routines that support confidence and wellbeing. Through circle time games, movement, and body percussion, children are exploring ways to express themselves and regulate emotions.
Kindness is a key focus, we are learning about using kind hands, kind words, and showing care for others. Stories and Mantle of the Expert sessions help children explore feelings and problem-solving in imaginative play.
In Maths, we are exploring colour, counting, matching, and sorting, using everyday objects and hands-on activities to make learning fun.
For Understanding the World, we are talking about our families and the people who are important to us, exploring similarities and differences, and discovering what makes each of us special.
In Religious Education, we are learning about the story of creation and reflecting on the wonderful things in our world, which naturally leads to discussions about Autumn and the changes it brings.
This half term provides children with a strong foundation for emotional regulation, social skills, early numeracy, and curiosity about the world, while helping them feel confident, safe, and excited to learn.
