This half term Nursery are going to be exploring three core books: A squash and a Squeeze, On the farm and Farmyard Hullabaloo. The children are going to be using their gross motor skills to learn how to move like different farm animals, they will be learning lots of new animal names and what the animals look like. They will be exploring different colours and materials and learning how to create their own animal pictures.The children will be working hard on their mark making by beginning to form some letters and write their names. Furthermore, they will be exploring different phonemes and letters in phonics and have a go at using sensory trays to explore these, they will be exploring stories through small world areas and using props and instruments to support them with retelling. 

 

In our independent learning time, we will be exploring all of our 17 areas. We will have the opportunity to make large movements with ribbons to support our physical development, there will be large paper for the children to mark make with pencils, pens and paint and we will be learning new rhymes to support us with our maths. We will have the opportunity to go outside daily and use our maths knowledge in the sand and water. We will be developing our wider world vocabulary in the small world and loose parts areas when we are exploring minibeasts, animals and buildings.
