Autumn Term 2023

Nursery ND and NP

Our main focus this term will be settling the children into their new Nursery environment, encouraging new friendships and learning our school rules and routines. Our Autumn term topic is 'All About Me' and each fortnight we will share a different book based around this theme.

Children will be talking about their families, homes and their own feelings. Working together, they will be thinking about what makes us special and individual. In addition, we will be exploring the different festivals and celebrations that children may be involved with, encouraging them to share exciting customs and experiences with one another. We will also be engaging in P.E sessions each week. Children will learn to change from their shoes into pumps and we will be experimenting with movement in different ways.

Nursery will be exploring, experimenting and investigating the world around them. We will therefore be using a variety of materials such as paint, sand, water, mud etc.

Please do not be upset if your child returns home a little messy (we will of course be wearing aprons, but sometimes we have too much fun) it just means we have had a busy day learning! 

Outdoor Provision 

As part of the EYFS curriculum, the outdoor area will be available to the children throughout the year and in all weathers, lots of excellent and fun learning can take place during rain and snow. Can you please ensure that during cold months your child has gloves, a hat, and, if possible, wellies that can be left at school all year round.

Messy Play

During the year your child will be exploring, experimenting and investigating the world around them. We will therefore be using a variety of materials such as paint, sand, water, mud, etc.. So please do not be upset if your child returns home a little messy (we will of course be wearing aprons, but sometimes the fun can get away with us), it just means we have had a busy day learning. 

A Plea!

We are making a plea to parents and carers. We would love to receive donations of comics and magazines that you no longer want, along with washed out squirty bottles like ketchup bottles, milk bottles, soap liquid bottles or washing up liquid bottles that you have finished with. We would also love any yoghurt pots and toilet rolls. This will really help us to be creative.

Name EVERYTHING 

Please ensure that everything is labelled. As children become more independent, we change pumps for PE weekly, have our coats on and off throughout the day and children’s clothing can sometimes be mixed up.
