Nursery - Hungry Caterpillar

CURRICULUM FOR Autumn 1

This half term our topic is “This is Me!”

AS READERS

We will be reading books linked to our half term theme: “This is Me!” These include: “Super-Duper You,” “My Hair,” “Beautiful Oops,” “Love Makes a Family,” “Welcome to our World,” “Which Food will you Choose?”  We will also link books to our maths and colours such as: “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” Books about food for Harvest: “Oliver’s Vegetables,” and settling in books for the new children:  “Owl Babies,” “Lulu Loves Nursery,” “Hello Friend.”  Our traditional tale will be “Snow White” which will link in talking about emotions for “This is Me!”

AS WRITERS

To improve the children’s fine and gross motor skills we will be doing activities that encourage crossing the midline. We will use scarves and movements that encourage this. We have funky fingers activities, for example: threading; tweezers; or playdough. We will also be introducing Dough Disco to strengthen the children’s posture, shoulder and elbow movement, hand grip, pincer, and tripod grip. The children are encouraged to mark make using a variety of different media:  post its, notepads, paper, card etc. We will focus on making horizontal lines.

AS MATHEMATICIANS

The children will be exploring colour and colour mixing. We will look around the environment and observe the colours we see, inside and outside. We will also be sorting shapes and everyday objects into various ways, asking questions: why have you sorted them like that? What is your rule?

AS EXPLORERS

Linking in with our theme “This is Me!” children will explore how they have grown, using baby photos and pictures now. How have they changed? What parts of the body do they know? Are they similar or different to their friends?

Towards the end of half term, we will observe the changes in the environment as we move from Summer to Autumn. What have they noticed? What is happening to the leaves on the trees? Children will use a camera to capture the changes they see.

PSED

Children follow Jigsaw. We also have circle times and on the spot opportunities to develop PSED skills. At the beginning, they are focusing on separating from their carer, building relationships by making new friends, playing alongside one another, and beginning to share.

PE

Lessons will take place every Tuesday morning with our PE Staff. The children will need to come to nursery wearing their PE kits. No earrings.

HOME LEARNING

Please ensure that you are logged on to Class Dojo so that you can see what your child has been doing. Photos and messages will be posted regularly. Their learning is also displayed in the cloakroom, each child has a section showing their work and any wow speech moments. This is replaced every half term and placed in their learning journal.

A weekly newsletter about next week’s learning and vocabulary is sent out every Friday.
