Nursery Summer 2
I hope you have had a restful half-term and are ready to do lots of new learning and
have fun experiences!
Literacy
Summer 2 literacy learning will be centred on the fabulous story “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt”. This engaging and well-loved book provides a rich foundation for a wide range of interactive, creative, and exploratory activities designed to develop
children’s reading, listening and attention and speaking skills. Children will engage in close listening to the repeated phrases of the story to develop and build a strong
understanding of story sequencing events. They will explore key characters and events and role play to support their developing comprehension skills and vocabulary. Activities will include sequencing the events in order as they unfolded journey through picture cards, creating story maps, and acting out parts of the story to build confidence in speaking and listening.
Maths
This term, children will explore key maths concepts including 2 D shapes and their properties and different number concepts. These activities aim to build a solid foundation for mathematical thinking and reasoning, supporting both practical understanding and numeracy skills.
Phonics
We are at Phase 2 and starting oral blending on our phonics program. The children will learn new sounds including diagraphs and some tricky words. They will also take home sound-related reading books. Please ensure these books are looked after and returned to school before Thursday so that another can be issued. We encourage you to read with your child and provide feedback in their reading diary.
Science
This term, our Nursery children will learn all about Growing plants. They will explore what helps a plant to grow and how to maintain a healthy plant. Children will grow their own sunflower plant and then take it home. This topic will help develop their observational skills and encourage curiosity about how to look after our plants.
PE
PE sessions will be held every Tuesday. The children will engage in activities that develop essential team play skills, ball skills, and physical coordination. Please ensure your child wears an appropriate PE kit on Tuesdays. Please ensure children have spare clothes in their bags if they have an accident.
General Message
Please support the children with their reading and guide them to do the homework over the weekend.
If you have concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me, or arrange a meeting after school.
