Welcome to Nursery Sunflowers' Class Webpage

Welcome to our new families and our returning children. The Nursery children have settled in very well. They have already experienced a lot of amazing and exciting things. Hopefully this website will allow you to have a look at the amazing work and the experiences that the children are having here in Nursery.

In Nursery, children learn through play, talk, exploration and observation of the world around them. They have the opportunity to pursue their own, child-initiated activities and interests, as well as adult-led activities and topics, and have daily phonics and maths sessions. 

All nursery staff help children to learn and develop through both child led and adult led activities. Children develop quickly in the Early years, and teachers aim to do all they can to help all children to have the best possible start to school life.

Useful information

• Outdoor play: We spend a lot of time outside and your child will need a spare change of clothes in school as we play in water and our mud kitchen. We provide waterproofs but children can still become muddy and wet.
• Warm clothing: Please ensure your child has a suitable coat and footwear for the autumn weather. All children will need a labelled hat when the weather starts to become cold.
• PE is on a Thursday and every child needs a pair of trainers.

Spring Term

 Our topic for this half term is:

Winter and weather, looking at ice, snow and frost. We will also be looking at the seasons.

We are going to learn some songs and poems about the weather and stories, like Cudley Duddly and Gruffalo's child.

In phonics we will be continuing to listen to the first sounds in words, trying to identify them.

The children will be learning to write their names with some of the letters formed correctly.

We will be counting to 10 and in some cases beyond, learning to recognise numerals and learning songs, rhymes to help us count accurately and reliably. Matching a numeral to the correct quantity.

Autumn Term

All about me

In this first half term our theme will be All about me. Through this theme the children will engage in many activities based on the following...'My home', 'My family', 'My body',and 'Class rules'.

If you need our help or have any questions, feel free to contact us at the end of the day.
