Welcome to Holy Trinity Nursery. This half term we are looking forward to learning new things and continuing to develop our friendships. We will also be inviting you into Nursery for different occasions such as a visit from Bookstart and informal chats with the speech therapists from Speechleap.
Our topic for Spring 2 will be 'Growing'. We will be listening to different stories including Jack & the Beanstalk and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We will be planting our own beanstalks. I wonder how tall they will grow?
Phonics
In Phonics, we will be working within Phase 1 phonics. We will be starting to look at the sounds words begin with, and continuing to look at rhyming words.
Maths
In Maths, we will learning about numbers to 5; recognising the numeral, subitising and counting groups and beginning to write the numerals. We will also be looking at 2D shapes including circle, triangle, square and oblong.
Speaking & listening
We are continuing to learn to listen to others in small groups. We are also learning to talk to our friends and develop our vocabulary. We will be listening to lots of stories and singing songs and rhymes.
Writing
This half term we are starting to learn how to write our names, this includes recognising our names, mark making in different ways and putting the letters together in the correct order.
