What’s happening in Autumn term?
Autumn 1
This half term, we will be focusing on settling the children into Nursery and familiarising them with our rules and routines.
Our topic this half term is ‘All About Me’. We will be learning all about ourselves and discussing how we are all special and unique. We will be talking about our families and who we live with. We will be looking at different types of homes and the kind of properties we live in. We will also be thinking about our different feelings and emotions.
Children have opportunities to follow their own interests and learn through play in our indoor and outdoor learning areas.

In Autumn 2, our topic is Seasons and Celebrations. We will look for signs of Autumn and Winter and will learn about a variety of celebrations including birthdays, Christmas, Diwali and Halloween.

What’s happening in Summer term?
Our topic in Summer 1 is Growth. First of all, we look at the growth of animals, visiting a farm to observe a variety of baby and fully grown farm animals. We then look at the growth of plants, planting our own seeds and reading Jack and the Beanstalk. Finally, we look at the life cycle of a frog, reading the book Tad and studying real-life tadpoles as they grow.
