Welcome to Caterpillar Nursery!
This term we will be preparing our older children for the transition into reception in our school and other schools. We will be inviting parents and carers to attend their graduation later in this term. Our younger children will still be developing their skills which we will continue to develop after the summer.
Our Summer 2 leaning is based around the topic of 'Claws, Fins and Other Things'. Lots of learning will be based on animals around the world. We will be looking at animals from hot countries, animals that live under the sea and animals we will see on our trip to White Post Farm.
Some of of our learning will be linked to the stories 'Gecko's Echo' by Lucy Rowland and 'Billy's Bucket' by Kes Gray. Each week we will focus on a different part of the story (characters, setting etc) with lots of activities in nursery based around them. Our nursery rhymes we will be learning and singing in class will be:
Our Maths work this half term will focus on words used to describe times in the day - e.g. day, night, morning, yesterday, today, tomorrow etc. We will also be looking at filling and emptying containers and using words to describe how much is inside. Using words to describe where things are in location to something else will also be something we focus on (positional language), including: above, below, beside, next to, under etc.
Please remember that our Forest School sessions are every Wednesday throughout the year. Please dress your child appropriately for these sessions and ensure that they have waterproof footwear (preferably wellies). We have a weekly PE session in the school hall on Thursday, where children will need to wear trainers as there will be lots of running about.
In Nursery we aim to follow the children's interests, allowing them to explore the provision independently through play and we ensure they spend equal amounts of time in the provision both inside and outside. Due to the changing weather please ensure you send your child is in warm clothes with suitable shoes and with a waterproof coat. During the warmer months, children will require a sunhat (preferably with an all round brim) and applied sun cream before attending nursery.
We are really looking forward to working closely with you and your child. If you have any questions, concerns or queries please do not hesitate in contacting a member of the Nursery team.
Thank you for your continued support.
