F1 - Nursery

 

Welcome to F1

  

Teachers: Mrs Ochiltree and Mrs Pace

 

Teaching Assistant: Mrs Hooley-Rice (am only)

 

F1 Homework

Monthly home learning challenges are set via Class Dojo for activities linked to our learning in school that you can do at home to support your child's understanding. You can send these back to school by attaching a photo or video and a comment to your child's Class Dojo portfolio.

 

In F1 we try to foster a love of reading for pleasure. It is really helpful if you can read stories regularly with your child. Have a look at the document attached for some pointers on supporting early reading skills. 

 

Below are a few websites that are great for supporting children's learning at home online.

Encouraging Independence

It is really helpful if children can begin to have a try at self-care routines before starting Nursery. Of course, staff are always on hand to help, but if your child is already familiar with having a try at these things themselves it is a really big help. It also gives them more confidence in the classroom and allows them to get on with their day without having to wait for someone to help. 

 

Here are some things that you could encourage independence with at home:

putting on their coat

(At school we encourage the 'hoods on first' method as shown above for children who cannot yet put their coat on independently)

doing up their own zip

going to the toilet

washing their hands

eating with a knife and fork

drinking from a cup

Autumn Term Theme

Still image for this video

This term our learning is based around the following books:

 

  • The Owl Babies
  • The Gruffalo

 

 

Throughout our play we will be be exploring woodland environments within our small world. We will be acting out and retelling the stories and exploring seasonal changes within our natural world as Autumn changes into Winter. 

 

Here are some lovely Autumn stories you could cuddle up with at home. Why not share your story snuggled in bed or a cosy den, to pretend you're hibernating like the animals?
