Welcome to Nursery and Preschool

Summer Term

Welcome to the Nursery and Preschool class page!

As we start the summer term our topic is minibeasts.

The books we will be learning about this half term are;

The Bad - Tempered Ladybird in week 1.

The Very Busy Spider in weeks 2 and 3.

The Hungry Caterpillar in weeks 4 and 5.

The children will be completing lots of activities to support their learning including;

• developing their counting skills by counting spots onto ladybirds and legs onto spiders.
• using story language to retell stories.
• making mini-beasts using different equipment and materials such as playdough, junk modelling,drawing and painting.
• singing different songs about mini-beasts.

Please check the knowledge organisers and the board outside the classroom for more detailed information about what your child is learning each week.

Preschool Children

This half term the children will continue to build on the phonics skills taught in the Spring term by learning to recognise, read and write the letter sounds using the read, write inc phonics scheme.

Preparations will also begin to help ensure the children have a smooth transition into their new Reception class. Please look out for letters with further information about this.
