Nursery Newsletter

Dear Parents and Carers,
​
The children have settled back well into nursery and are enjoying playing with their friends again. 
 
Last week, the children enjoyed talking about their new toys and also had lots of fun playing in the snow.  We also launched our new whole school Quest, ‘When Do I?  Where Do I?’, and started talking about our families and our homes. 
 
This week, we are learning more about toys and would like parents/grandparents to talk to your child about toys you/they used to play with.  We will be looking at a range of toys, books and games from the past and beginning to recognise how they have changed.  Please feel free to send in a photo through Tapestry or your child could show a toy from the past and say who it belonged to (we’ll be very careful!).
Also, in nursery, we are continuing to learn: -
● Counting out small sets of objects to match a numeral
● Practising to hear the first sound in a word – s s s snake   a a a apple    t t t tiger – sounds s a t p i n
● Writing our name and mark making activities
●  Sorting toys e.g. old/new soft/hard, have wheels/no wheels, animals with 4 legs etc
● Using our imagination in our role-play toy shop’ to develop language and beginning to count pennies
● Noticing seasonal changes in the school grounds, such as frozen puddles, shadows in the winter sun, freezing and melting etc.
 
As the weather continues to be cold and now wet, could you make sure mittens/gloves and hats are brought in please. Labelled where possible as they often go astray.

Thank you so much for your continued support,
 
​The Early Years Nursery Team
