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.
In 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.
Through Communication and Language, we will learn the story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ and act it out in groups using actions. We will also talk about lifecycles of animals and learning the names of baby animals.
Through Physical Development we will 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.
In Mathematics we will use our class story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ to learn the days of the week and count to 5. We will also sing songs to learn the days of the week.
Through Literacy we will continue to learn Nursery Rhymes and 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.
In 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.
