Wonder, Believe, Shine & Achieve - Welcome to Nursery!
Spring Term
Join Our Adventure as we learn about ‘Journeys’
Over the next few weeks, our nursery will embark on an exciting journey of discovery and creativity! The children will become “Journey Helpers”. They will become a team of expert adventurers who assist story characters in safely completing their journeys or finding their way home. They’ll work together to create transport that keeps the characters dry and safe from all kinds of weather. We'll explore different types of transport, figuring out the best ways to travel to different places, and looking at how transport has changed over time.
As we dive into our "Journeys," we'll also explore the season of Spring. The children will observe the changes that happen around us, weather, animals, and plants and learn how the world transforms over time. To bring the season to life, we’ll be inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s beautiful ‘Starry Night’, using swirling motions in finger painting and brushes to create our own “Journeys of the Stars.”
In Maths, we will focus on numbers 1-5, with lots of hands-on activities to help us build a strong foundation. We’ll also explore the number 6, as well as key concepts like height, length, mass, and capacity. The children will have the chance to consolidate these skills using fun activities and a 10’s frame.
As part of our weekly activities, we’ll be sending home a story and a poem each week for you to enjoy together. We encourage you to discuss the story and help your child memorise the poem to share with the class. This is a wonderful way to continue our journey of learning at home!
We’re looking forward to a fun-filled half term, and we can’t wait to see where our learning adventures take us!
