The Nursery at Oak Cottage...

 

Mrs Dennis, Mrs Goddard and Ms Lutwyche work in the Nursery.

 

This half term is all about Castles, Knights, Princes and Princesses!

 

 

 

We will be learning about the different parts of a castle, challenging ourselves to build tall towers and adapting them to make them stronger, we will be discovering the different jobs people had in a castle a long time ago. 

Our creative minds will be working hard to design flags, shields and outfits fit for princes and princesses! We will also learn dances ready for our Royal Banquet later on in the half term. 

Jigsaw Jenie loves a challenge too! 

'Dreams and Goals' is the theme for this half term.

As a class we will consider what a challenge is, how we can challenge ourselves, support others to do the same, give encouragement, learn to persevere and build resilience. We will also spend time thinking about what jobs we might like to do when we are older and share our thoughts with Jigsaw Jenie.

 

 

 

 

Jigsaw Jenie set us a challenge - to see if we could copy a dragon dance for Chinese New Year. We think we did a pretty good job!

Autumn 2

Our sponsored fun run was a great success! We just kept running! We encouraged each other to keep going. We compared the size and weight of different pumpkins Then we investigated the inside and used our muscles to scrape out the seeds! We have also started our new topic and built some amazing pirate ships!

Phonics Information for Parents and Carers Autumn 2

Phonics Information Letter

  • Phonics in Nursery newsletter Sept 2022.pdf

It's good to keep talking - 

Set aside that 5 minutes a day to share a rhyme or a story book or just

simply have a chat... because it's important to talk.

Put technology to one side for a while and encourage a 2-way conversation

with your child about anything they are interested in or

might want to talk about. Young children need to constantly hear conversations and engage in them to be able to learn how to speak to others confidently

and extend their vocabulary.

In the EYFS, we teach about dental hygiene.

The children learn the value of good brushing and how to use toothpaste to fight tooth decay. The Colgate Tooth Defenders help us to learn how to keep ourselves healthy and even give us our own toothbrush and toothpaste to take home!

The Tooth Defenders would like us to complete our brushing chart to make sure that we keep our teeth and gums healthy.

If you need any support for your child or any tips on keeping teeth clean, please see our documents below to help you. Also start taking your child to the dentist….it is never too early to start!
