Unit Sheet

OUR TOPIC IS Why are leaves crispy?

As children began their first half term adventure in Nursery it is important they are able to feel calm and comfortable. Our topic this half term is all about the children getting to know each other! Lots of exploration of the similarities and differences between themselves and their peers, the diversity within their families and their own feelings.
With lots of the learning based around stories, children will learn and develop awareness of new routines in Nursery, new areas to explore and how we care for our Nursery, the people within it and the people we love.

OUR TOPIC IS Why are leaves crispy?

We will be investigating everything to do with Autumn! We will look at what changes can be seen in the outside environment. Also, how animals cope with the changes and stories related to their adventures.

Our virtual school remains open so you can view learning from last year – you can see all of the previous lessons for all of the year groups. The materials found on the virtual school pages may be used by any child for additional learning if pupils are keen to extend their learning at home, or as extra support. If pupils are unable to attend school due to prolonged illness or isolation, please arrange to talk to us and we will direct you to relevant virtual learning.
