About Our Class
Hello and welcome to our nursery class!
I am so excited to be your child’s teacher as we embark on a wonderful journey of learning, growth, and discovery together. In our class, we create a nurturing, safe, and fun environment where every child is encouraged to explore, express themselves, and build strong foundations for their future learning.
This year, we will focus on developing not only early literacy and numeracy skills but also important social and emotional skills. Through stories, songs, play, and creative activities, we will dive into the world of feelings, friendships, and problem-solving, helping the children feel confident and supported every step of the way!

Vehicle Text: Ready Steady Mo!
Writing Outcome: Olympic Story Sentences
This term, children will dive into the energetic and uplifting story Ready Steady Mo! by Mo Farah and Kes Gray. With a focus on resilience, determination, and the joy of being active, children will join Mo on his fun-filled adventures, using the story to inspire movement, imagination, and a can-do attitude.
This term in Science, children will be exploring the fascinating world of light, sound, and electricity through playful, hands-on experiences. They will begin by investigating light and dark using torches and blackout tents, and will learn to identify different light sources and observe how shadows are created. As they move on to sound, children will experiment with their voices and musical instruments to explore volume and pitch. Finally, they will be introduced to simple toys that use electricity, developing an early understanding of how electrical circuits work through activities involving batteries and switches. These fun and engaging sessions will encourage curiosity, creativity, and early scientific thinking.
PE day is Wednesday.
This term in PE, children will continue to build on a wide range of physical skills, learning how to link movements together and apply them in different ways. They will take part in activities that encourage teamwork, communication, and friendly competition, helping them grow in confidence and develop a positive attitude towards physical activity.
Children will focus on improving their balance, agility, and coordination, and will begin to explore different ways of jumping and moving with control. They will also be introduced to specialist gymnastics equipment, where they will learn how to use it safely and effectively. Through fun and engaging sessions, children will learn how to reflect on their progress and recognise their own achievements.
