During this topic the children will learn all about traditional tales. We will be learning about the characters, baddies and goodies and different homes in traditional stories. Also during this half term our topic work will include talking about feelings and our families. We will also be doing lots of learning about how to tidy and look after our environment, following our rules: Choose it, Use it, put it away.
This half term we are continuing with our topic – I wonder how the story will end? This is so the children continue to develop their understanding of how stories are structured and the excitement that stories create.
We will also learn about important dates and different celebrations during this half term including Remembrance day, Diwali, Children in Need, Bonfire night and Christmas.
I wonder how we will get there??
This term in nursery we will be exploring different modes of transport. Transport that flies in the sky, floats in water, and moved off the ground. We will also be exploring how things can move and exploring fast and slow. We will need to look at how to keep safe on the roads too!
I wonder why it looks like that?
In Nursery this term we will be learning about animals that live in Africa. We will also be learning about the habitats that these animals live in and the glorious patterns on their skin and fur.
In nursery this half term we will be investigating different fruits and vegetables. We will get to try some different fruits and vegetables, learning about how they are grown. We will also be doing some cooking with fruits and vegetables too.
I wonder what a reflection is?
This term we will be learning about reflections, mirrors and symmetry. We will also be investigating photography and crating our own self portraits.
We will also be looking at transition to reception and get a change to go to our reception class for the day.

Physical activity is vital in children’s all-round development, enabling them to pursue happy, healthy and active lives. By creating games and providing opportunities for play both indoors and outdoors, adults can support children to develop their core strength, stability, balance, spatial awareness, co-ordination and agility. Gross motor skills provide the foundation for developing healthy bodies and social and emotional well-being. Fine motor control and precision helps with hand-eye co-ordination, which is later linked to early literacy. Repeated and varied opportunities to explore and play with small world activities, puzzles, arts and crafts and the practice of using small tools, with feedback and support from adults, allow children to develop proficiency, control and confidence
