Our 'Big Question' is: What can we learn about the world around us?

Please have a look at the Medium Term Plan to find out what we will be covering and how it aims to meet the objectives of the Early Years curriculum framework.

Useful reminder/s for the term: If still toilet training, please bring a bag of nappies, wipes and spare clothes.

Listed below are the songs and rhymes we have learnt in the previous half term. Please do listen and support your child at home by singing these rhymes as they are the basis for learning phonics.

HOME LEARNING

Please use the resources below if you cannot attend nursery.

Communication and Language Development The BBC has produced an outstanding resource for professionals, but most importantly for parents. It provides lots of resources to support parents of children with children aged 0 to 5 with the development of vital communication and language skills. it includes easy to access videos for parents showing a range of activities which they can share with their child everyday which will support the development of your child's vocabulary. Communication and Language skills development from a very early stage are strongly linked with school attainment across all subjects, particularly English, Reading and Maths. The Nursery Rhymes section is extremely helpful and many of the rhymes have been translated into other languages - remember, home languages other than English are just as important for children in developing good communication and language skills so please do not see this as a barrier.

Tiny Happy People Website Get going with these fabulous, free resources!

Roy the Zebra This website provides lots of lovely resources to support your child's development of reading. There are lots of resources that you can print off and use with your child and also interactive games t develop their reading skills - many of which however are targeted at Year 1 children so may be a little too advanced for your child in Nursery. However, the stories of Roy's adventures are lovely t read with your child and each one comes with resources for you to support your discussions with your child about what you have read. It also provides a model for how you can approach shared reading of other books and stories. The stories come as flip pages and there is a sound button so that the children can hear the book read to them page by page, which would be a lovely thing for them to do after they have shared it with yourself. Encourage your child to re-tell the stories to you in their own words, and in any language, and encourage your child to actively integrate any new and unfamiliar vocabulary into their everyday spoken word - maybe have a word of the day for your child to focus upon using each day and in different ways - but please be sure they fully understand what the meaning of new words are before they use them!!! Have fun!
