A Parent Guide to Cygnets Nursery
What we will learn
We will be following the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework and ensure our learning allows children to develop their skills in the seven areas of learning:
- Communication and Language
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Physical Development
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding of the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
Our programme of learning will follow the needs and interests of our children and will be carefully organsied so that they make the progress they need in order to be ready for their next steps in learning.
Have a look at our Nursery curriculum overview at the bottom of the page and have a look on Tapestry to see what we have been up to.
What are we learning at the moment - Welcome to Autumn 1
This half term we will be learning about emotions and this will be linked to 'The Colour Monster' story. This will help the children to learn the new routine and to settle in the nursery.
We will also explore some traditional stories such as 'The Three Little Pigs'. We will find out which house was better to live in: the straw, wooden or brick house.
The children will learn about harvest festival and celebrate this through music and craft in collaboration with the Reception classes.
We have planned a lot of exciting activities for the children and cannot wait to share them with them!
This half term, we will have physical activity on Thursday afternoons. Please can the children wear joggers/leggings and trainers? There is no need for full PE kit.
On Fridays, we will go for a welly walk. Please bring some wellies in a named bag so that they can be kept in school. We are happy to return them for half term.
Please check the learning posters and Tapestry each week. Feel free to post your adventures at home on tapestry. We will share these in class.
