Autumn 1 2025: Everyone Different, Everyone Loved...

What a wonderful first half term it has been! The children have settled beautifully into school life and are beginning to foster a real love for learning. We’ve enjoyed sharing stories linked to emotions and self-regulation, such as The Way I Act and When Sophie Gets Angry, helping the children to understand and talk about their feelings. Our Walking Wednesdays to the local playground and woodland area have been a weekly highlight, offering plenty of opportunities for exploration and adventure. We’ve also loved discovering the changes Autumn brings and creating beautiful seasonal artwork inspired by the colours and textures we’ve seen in nature.

Autumn 2 2025: Starry Night 

This term, the nursery children have made lovely progress in their learning. They have enjoyed taking part in daily phonics activities, listening carefully to sounds, joining in with songs and rhymes and beginning to notice sounds in words. In maths, the children have explored repeating patterns using natural resources and are starting to subitise small amounts by recognising quantities without counting.

The children have loved learning about space, exploring the moon and stars through stories, creative activities and imaginative play.

We have continued with our Walking Wednesdays, where the children explored the local area and took part in litter picking, helping them to develop an understanding of caring for their environment.

We have also marked special events such as Children in Need and Remembrance Day by decorating biscuits and creating beautiful artwork.  As the half-term has come to an end, the children have been very excited in the run-up to Christmas and have enjoyed learning about the true meaning of Christmas. We are so proud of all the children and the progress they are making!
