Welcome to Nursery

Our class is Apple Tree and our class email address is apple@churchfields.q1e.org.uk.

Our teachers are Mrs Burn – Class Teacher and Mrs Thornton – Teaching Assistant.

Our Topic for the first half of the Spring Term is  ‘Exploring Our World’  we will be focussing on space, mountains, volcanoes, dinosaurs, under the sea, farms, and the countryside.

The children will be encouraged to talk about what they see, make links to their own experiences and listen to others. 

We have a news sheet  with more detail on what the children will be learning this half term on the notice board positioned outside the Nursery entrance.

Reading – Sharing books with your child really helps them to learn about the world around them and to start thinking about language.

We are happy to share the books from our book corner.  Please return them by putting them into the box outside the classroom before you take another one.

Optional Homework – Support your child to make a space ship, an alien, volcano, dinosaur, farm animal or a sea creature. Use any materials you have at home eg, paper, cardboard, string, wool, paints, felt tips, crayons, playdough.  Encourage them to tell you what they want to do and how they are going to do it.  Talk to them about how it is going as you go along and when it is tricky encourage them to have a go themselves with you showing them what to do. When it is finished they can bring it in (or a photo of it) to show us in Nursery.

Forest School is on a Tuesday this term.  Their wellies stay in school for this every week.  They wear school uniform as usual.  Remember wool hats and gloves for the colder weather.  They will also need an extra pair of warm socks.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us on our class email address if you have any concerns or questions at apple@churchfields.q1e.org.uk

Please let me know any changes at home to the routine that may affect your child emotionally during the day.

Thank you for your support.

Mrs Burn
