Nursery - Darwin Class
Darwin Class
Class teacher: Miss Dalby
Learning Assistants: Mrs Earl, Mrs Lutchman and Mrs Balsamino
This term:
his term we will continue to build on prior knowledge and skills in Maths, Literacy, Understanding the world and Expressive arts and Design. At Nursery age, it is important for children to have regular opportunities to revisit what we have already learned in order to deepen our understanding and ready ourselves for new learning content.
By the end of the term, we hope that children will become more confident at the following:
Literacy |
|
Mathematics |
|
Understanding the world |
|
Expressive Arts and Design: exploring media and materials |
|
Phonics
Our love for reading continues to grow!
This term we will be introducing the Read Write Inc (RWI) speed sounds. The children will be learning to recognise individual letter sounds and to write the letter shape by learning a simple rhyme, for example, ‘down the tower and across the tower’ for the letter ‘t’.
The letter sounds we will be learning over this term are as follows:
- Week one – m,a,s
- Week two – d,t,i
- Week three- n,p,g
- Week four- o,c,k
- Week five- u,b,f
Helpful tips and guides will be posted on Class Dojo regularly to support learning at home.
Talk through stories
Our talk through story sessions continue to be a hit with Nursery. We love exploring new texts and really getting to grips with the story line, identifying the problem and the solutions and becoming familiar with the key characters within the story. This term we will be reading:
- Dogger by Shirley Hughes
- Sonya’s Chickens by Phoebe Wahl
- Gecko’s Echo by Lucy Rowland
- The Giant Jam Sandwich by John V Lord and Janet Burroway
