Spring 2

This half term in Ladybird nursery our areas of focus will be 'Superheroes and People who help us'. There is always a huge focus on getting to know your children as individuals so we can best plan to follow children's interest. This means learning, topics and activities can change all the time! The children will take part in lots of hands on and creative activities around this topic. If your child has a particular interest, please let us know! 

Tapestry

As lots of you are now aware we use Tapestry as an online learning journey for your children.  On here we will upload WOW moments for your child and keep you up to date with what they have been learning.  There will also be any messages and reminders from staff that you need to be aware of.

We would love if you could upload any WOW moments from home for your child to share with their peers in nursery and keep staff up to date on your child’s interests and development. At the start of each half term we will upload ‘Tapestry Challenges’ for you to have a go with your children at home.  Complete as many challenges from the list as you would like and upload what you get up to on your child’s profile. 

If you have any questions regarding how to access Tapestry please contact school and someone will be able to help you. Alternatively if you are able to access Tapestry and need to speak to the class teacher use the ‘add observation’ facility on your child’s profile and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

OTHER THINGS YOU COULD DO AT HOME

Sharing stories and siging nursery rhymes with your child is so important for improving their communication and language and their literacy skills.

Making your own play dough (1 cup water, ½ cup salt, 1 cup water and a tbl spoon cooking oil to make a dough). Play dough is important in building hand strength and developing fine motor skills needed for later writing.

Go on a 2D shape hunt in your house or out and about. What 2D shapes can your child recognise?

Go on a colour hunt in your house or out and about. Can they find anything that is red, blue, yellow or green? 

Counting – lots of counting using everything and anything that interests your child.

                                                                                                           ****************

Please remember that your child will need a named changing bag with a spare change of clothes and will need to have plenty of nappies, wipes and cremes if needed. They will also need a named water bottle. 

    Please write the children's names in their cardigans, jumpers, coats and on any other clothing. 

 Thank You
