Nursery
The children are now in a great routine and are continuing to develop independence. This half term we are learning about ‘growing’ in relation to plants, animals, and humans encouraging the children to look and talk about changes they see happening. We will also focus on the days of the week and counting accurately.
For Personal, Social and Emotional Development we will learn about how to look after ourselves by exploring a healthy diet, exercise and lifestyle. Learn about keeping ourselves clean and brushing our teeth.
In Physical Development we will learn learn about how to keep our bodies healthy by exercising and discussing why it is important to exercise. We will learn movements to strengthen certain areas the human body.
For Communication and Language we will talk about how we have changed since we were babies and how we have changed. Talk about how we will grow in the future.
In Maths we will learn the days of the week and count to 5 linked to reading ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ story. We will also sing songs to learn the days of the week.
For Literacy we will share stories about growing and changes in plants and animals. Continue to learn songs to strengthen memory. We will mark make and use playdough to help strengthen the muscles in our hands.
In Understanding the World we will explore the season of Spring and how plants and animals change within this season. Observe a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.
For Creative Arts and Design we will create pieces of Art related to spring time and give children opportunities to make caterpillars and butterflies in different ways..
