Nursery 2025 - 2026
Mrs Plowright
Welcome to our Nursery Class Page
Looking Ahead to the Summer Half Term
'Little Discoverers: Growing and Exploring'
This half term in Nursery, as the children move into their final term, our focus is on celebrating each child as a unique individual while continuing to build their confidence within the Nursery environment. Now familiar with routines and adults, the children are increasingly independent, showing resilience and determination as they engage in play, explore new challenges, and form strong friendships. Building positive relationships with the children, and with you as parents, remains at the heart of what we do, as these secure connections form the foundation for all future learning.
We continue to ensure that our Enabling Nursery Environment, both inside and out, provides a sense of safety, comfort, and curiosity. The children are confident to explore, make choices, and enjoy new experiences, knowing they are supported and nurtured. Gentle routines and structure help them understand what comes next in their day and feel fully settled in Nursery life.
This half term, as part of our Enhanced Curriculum, we will be exploring the theme of 'Little Discoverers: Growing and Exploring'. Through stories such as Jasper's Beanstalk, the children will learn about planting, growth and caring for living things as they plant and nurture their own sunflower seeds. As the term progresses, they will become minibeast explorers, discovering what lives in our garden and learning about different habitats through stories, investigations and outdoor exploration. Children will observe changes in the natural world, including butterflies and flowers, and reflect on how they themselves have grown and changed. Learning will be enriched through hands-on experiences, creative activities and opportunities to develop curiosity, language and a love of the natural world.
We are so excited to continue to build upon this learning journey with your children and to ensure that their first experiences in Nursery are positive, nurturing and full of curiosity.
