A. Is your child ready to learn?

One tick from ‘the sixteen ticks’ to work upon:

To recognise own name and familiar signs and logos.

A child will begin to recognise their name if they begin to see it written down. At home you can make sure your child sees you adding their name to birthday cards, or writing their name on drawings your child completes. At Willow children see their names on their coat pegs and folders. They have a name card, which they can use to copy their name onto their artwork. Every term, with the 3+ children we ask them to draw a picture and to write their name and we keep this sample of work, to see how their letter formation is progressing.

This week Miss Howe is helping children to make a caterpillar with their name on. They are using their namecards to enable them to copy their names. (This is Miss Howe’s example )

Children are already reading familiar logos and signs– shop names, and brand names. Most 3+ Nursery children could identify the names of supermarkets from their shopfronts and logos. This should be encouraged as it is an early stage of reading. Take an interest in words you see in the street. Look at street names to see if any of the letters in your child’s name appear on the street signs.

B. Baby Announcement

C. What the children are learning about this week.

We are continuing with our theme of Minibeasts across the school.

Main Nursery Children are beginning to look at lifecycles. Miss Skai is looking after an caterpillar to butterfly demonstration. We hope that the children will observe the butterfly lifecycle.

We have lots of resources in school to support our themes. We have sets of puzzles that teach about life cycles.

We have sequencing cards that feature minibeasts that promote pattern making.

Our Younger bubble will have the opportunity to print using minibeast stamps.

Our planting is beginning to grow, both inside and outside.

Early Summer is an exciting time to be in Nursery, as there are lots of things growing and changing in the classrooms.
