What a lovely week in Nursery! We have enjoyed learning about looking after our Nursery babies and talking about how we change as we grow up. The children were wonderful when baby Carla came in to see us and baby Autumn popped in too! We loved it! Thank you to Carla’s mum and Autumn’s dad for answering our questions and for being so kind with us.
We continue with our language screening assessment, Draw a Person assessment (take a look on the art wall) and as part of our TLLT assessments, I continue to complete the baseline assessments within 2 weeks of children beginning Nursery. We are very busy! Here’s what else we have been doing…
We continue to welcome new children into Nursery. Thank you and helping us to create a supportive Nursery community. If your child is still unsettled when coming to Nursery, please let them know we will have a lovely time in Nursery and remind them you will come back to pick them up! Share the Widgit timetable with them so they know what to expect.
We continue to work on the following skills; listening and following simple instructions, asking for help if they need it, taking turns and remembering to ‘Choose it, Use it, Put it Away!’ Well done Nursery, you are trying hard to live out our school values.
Phonics and Oracy
This week we have been saying the beginning sounds of the children’s names. We will start to identify sounds. This will help to build early reading and phonics skills and help children to connect spoken language to written letters. It will help to practise this at home e.g. e for Eddie, e for egg, e for elephant.
We also continue to practise the following Nursery Rhymes. Please practise them at home too and the ones in our Nursery leaflet.
Our story this week…
This week our story was Avocado Baby. We also tried avocado at snack time but it wasn’t very popular!

Our pupil of the week this week is Juliette. She brings joy to Nursery every day!
