Dear Parent/Carer,

Summer Term is always very busy with lots of exciting events planned for the children. Here are the key dates for the half term:

Sports Day - Thursday 5th of July - 9.30 - 10.30am This will include AM and PM children.

Go Bonkers - 10th July (This children will have the chance to enjoy a field full of bouncy castles)

Nursery Graduation: Wednesday 18th July - 9.30am Morning children  1.45pm Afternoon children 
Last day of term: Thursday 19th July 

Please help the children to enjoy the sun safely this week. Remember to bring hats and apply sun cream before Nursery sessions. We will ensure the children have plenty of water to stay hydrated and access to shade. 

Expressive Arts and Design

The children will continue to explore colours and colour mixing through powder paints and large brushes used outside. 

Knowledge of the World

Children will be encouraged to observe the changes in our tadpoles - they have now begun to grow legs so will be released soon!

Maths 

The children will be encouraged to recognise and form numbers through hopskotch games, chalking numbers and creating games on a large scale outside.

Literacy

We are starting to listen for an sort the initial sounds in words. For example the children are learning mouse starts with the sound m and sounds different to the sound s in snake. 

They are also playing lots of games to encourage oral blending this means hearing the sounds c-a-t and putting the word together to say cat. At this stage this is oral and the children will not be recognising the letters. 

Cooking 

We will be exploring different fruits this week. The children will be encouraged to name the different fruits, think about how we need to open the fruits to eat them and of course taste them! They will be involved in peeling, chopping and slicing. 

Kind Regards,
The Nursery Team
