Nursery
Autumn 1

Settling in
This half term is all about welcoming our older children back and settling our new children in to nursery.
We will be settling in to new routines and expectations by:
getting used to sitting on the carpet.
practising our ‘choose it, use it, put it away’ routine.
sitting in small groups to sing songs.

Maths
We’ll be starting off our maths learning with lots of practical work in the provision. We will be exploring shape by providing jigsaw puzzles and shapes to build and make patterns with. We will be counting up to 5 objects. We will be singing lots of number rhymes.

Key texts
We will be developing our sense of self, community and belonging by reading the books and stories:
Owl Babies by Martin Waddell
Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson
Hug by Jez Aldborough
My Mum by Anthony Browne
Love Makes A Family by Sophie Bear

Listening and Attention
This half term we will spend time listening to, and discussing stories. We will spend time working in the provision with our friends, listening to and responding to their ideas. We will listen to songs and learn how to join in.

Tapestry
Thank you for your engagement so far with Tapestry! We hope you are enjoying your weekly updates. You will see more individual updates of your child’s learning in the coming weeks and months when we are all settled in.
Your interactions (even just a quick like) are really useful to us and help us to know that information has reached you or you’ve managed to see the updates—we’d be especially grateful if you could give the ‘memos’ a like; that way we know which parents have received important information.
If you’d like to send us a message, you can get in touch with us privately by adding an ‘observation’.
