Autumn 2

This half term in Ladybird Nursery, our area of focus will be 'Autumn and 'Transport'.

The children will take part in lots of hands on and creative activities around this topic.

As always in nursery our aim is to follow children's interest so learning, topics and activities can change all the time. 

Focused book's for this term are: 

Week 1 - Little Acorn
Week 2 - You can’t take an elephant on the bus
Week 3 - Things that GO!
Week 4 -  Choo choo clickety clack
Week 5 -  The journey home from grandpas
Week 6 - Car, car, truck, jeep
Week 7 - The Jolly Christmas Postman 

In our adult led focus, we will be playing lots of games that will promote the children's communication and language development.

We will be sharing lots of their favourite stories and singing lots of rhymes too!

*** Forest School ***

Forest school is on a Thursday.  Children are to wear their forest school uniform and must bring a coat and a pair of wellies as the forest can be very muddy!
