We use both indoor and outdoor learning and have lots of new and exciting areas of learning to explore.  We will be developing our independence, making new friends and learning lots of new things! 

Autumn 1

When we first come to Nursery, we learn "All About Me!" We also learn all about our families and friends too. This gives us a chance to make lots of new friends and learn valuable PSED skills. 

We look at lots of different books, including The Runaway Chapati, So Much!, and The Tiger Who Came To Tea. We also start Drawing Club, which helps us with our storytelling skills and lets our imagination fly!

In our Maths lessons, we start with Subitising, which helps us to build our understanding of number and noticing patterns. We use natural objects and images and talk about what we can see, or what we notice. 

Next half term in Nursery our topic is 'Who is down in the woods?' We will be reading the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears and will be making and tasting our own porridge. We will also focus on the story 'Owl Babies' and we will be learning about owls and other animals that might live in the wood.
