Daily Overview

Please note that we will be working towards the Daily Overview as the year progresses and the children settle into Nursery. 

Term 1: Who Am I?

Our enquiry for our first term is 'Who Am I?'. We will welcome all children into our nursery and support them to become confident in their new environment and to encourage them to make new friends. We will explore a variety of key texts including ‘All Are Welcome’, ‘Peace at Last’ and ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. We will learn and sing along to many nursery rhymes using musical instruments, as well as, use our bodies to make sounds to! We will think about how to be a Ladybird and all about our families. We will listen closely to sounds in the environment and identify rhyme. We will use colours and shapes to sort, as well as, count to 5 and focus on the first numbers in the sequence.

Key Dates:

First Day of the Term: Wednesday 4th September 2024

Learning in the Early Years Meeting: Tuesday 1st October at 4pm - 4:40pm via zoom

Last Day of the Term: Thursday 24th October 2024
