Happy New Year!

Welcome back to Rockets! 

Thank you for all your donations for our snack table last term; if you are able to, we would really appreciate donations of any of the following for our daily, healthy snack options:

Breadsticks

Crackers

Plain Cereal (rice crispies)

Ritz Crackers

Bread 

Butter/soft cheese

This term we are going to be learning different nursery rhymes including:

1,2,3,4,5 Once I caught a fish alive

Humpty Dumpty

Jack and Jill

Mary had a little lamb

Sing a song of sixpence 

We are practising counting to 5 (so our nursery rhymes will help!)

Spring Term Curriculum

This half term our learning is going to centre around 'Understanding the World' one of the 7 EYFS areas of learning.

Some of the ways we are going to enhance our learning will be through cooking; thinking about people who help us; role play and stories using story sacks.  In our outside area we are going to be planting some seeds and going on an insect hunt (once the weather is a little bit warmer...!)

Look out for some photos of our fabulous learning!

We are a caring and friendly team so please do speak to a member of the Nursery team or email us, if you have any questions, are unsure of anything or have any concerns. We will be happy to help.  We all look forward to working with you over the next few months.
