Welcome to the Caterpillars!

Hello and welcome!

*Meet the adults in the Caterpillar class*

The teachers in the Caterpillars class are Mrs Walton (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning), Mrs Talbot (Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday).  The teaching assistants are Miss Goldacre and Mrs Taylor . We love teaching the Caterpillars and we are so proud of all of their achievements!

If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you! 

*Our Christian Value for the term*

Our Christian Value this term is ‘Justice.’

Justice means giving all people what it is right and fair for them to have: life, health, freedom and dignity. It is about acting out of a concern for what is right. 

When we think about justice, we also think about the British Value of Tolerance and Mutual Respect and Democracy. 

Deuteronomy 16:20: Follow justice and justice alone.

*Our Learning for this term*

Summer Term 2

Commotion in The Ocean

This term we are learning all about animals that live in the sea, things that we enjoy doing at the seaside, pirates and mermaids! Look out for Dress Up Day coming soon!

We will be learning all about different animals that live in the sea and how they are all different from each other.

We will learn how to keep our beaches and seas clean and the importance of keeping our oceans clean.

As the summer creeps closer we will learn how we can keep ourselves safe at the seaside, near water and in the sunshine.

We will take part in Sports Day and learn how to follow the rules in races with our friends.

We will talk about why our daddies and daddy figures in our lives are special to us, ready for Father's Day.

This term also sees us celebrating International Mud Day too!

For those children starting school in September we will begin to look at transition for these children, equipping them with the skills they will need when they move to their new class.

We will continue to support them with how to write their name, recognise numbers and be able to count accurately.  We will ensure they are able to use the toilet independently and know how to organise their belongings in the morning, developing independence - you can also support with this at home.

Remember to log into Tapestry to share what your child does at home and look at what they have been doing at school

Spring Term 2

Is that a little Sunshine we can see?

As the weather starts to improve (we are keeping our fingers crossed!) we are really looking forward to making full use of our new outdoor equipment.  We continue to develop the outdoor area so that the children can get the most out of learning inside and outside.  All of the children in our Nursery bring in waterproof suits and wellies so that they can play outside whatever the weather!

This term our focus book is What The Ladybird Heard by Julia Donaldson.

Our learning will centre around minibeasts and insects.  The children will learn about the life cycles of different animals and we will also take delivery towards the end of the term of Caterpillars that we can watch change into butterflies.

The children will learn about different types of birds and use their creativity to design their own bird, linking it to maths through looking at pattern, we will also design our own butterflies as well.  Alongside pattern the children will begin to understand the concept of composition of number, we will learn how a number can be made up of different numbers - this will be done when we look at spots on a ladybird - if we have 1 spot on one side and 2 on the other, how many have we got altogether?

The children will take part in cooking this term, using the chicken's eggs to make omelettes, choosing their favourite fillings!

As Easter approaches we learn about the Easter Story read by Christians and take part in lots of lovely Easter craft activities too.

This term we will be learning all about Oral Health and the importance of brushing our teeth.
