Our Activities

Our overarching theme for this first half summer term is 'Amazing Animals'.  

 

During the first half term we will be exploring the book 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'. We plan to start this term with a bare foot trail to really bring the book alive! Additionally, we will be looking at other stories involving a variety of animals and getting involved in lots of animal themed activities.

Each week we will be learning a rhyme of the week to develop our confidence in reciting a variety of nursery rhymes. In addition to this, the children will be learning a new maths rhyme each week - videos of each rhyme will be uploaded to Tapestry each week for the children to practise with their family! Throughout the Summer term, the children who will be starting school in September follow the Nursery Read, Write, Inc programme. This will build upon our previous learning of early phonics and prepare them for school!

Everyday the Bumblebees children participate in a 'Healthy Movers' sessions. These are held in the school hall and involve the children practising movement in a variety of fun and exciting ways. This is always a highlight of the children's day and is a great way of developing independence when taking off and putting back on our shoes and socks.

 

We use Tapestry to share your child's learning with you and to share class messages so please ensure that you log in regularly. There is more information on Tapestry HERE. Each Friday we will share a 'Home Learning' post on Tapestry for you to complete with your child. This will involve simple tasks that embed the learning we have completed during the week. The children love to see themselves on our interactive whiteboard so please add pictures for them to share!
