12 May 2008 - Maple Newsletter - Summer Term 2008
Dear Parents
Welcome back to everyone, in particular the new children, at the start of what is going to be a very busy term. Our topic this term is underground/overground. We will be studying spiders, frogs, snails, bees and other small creatures. The children will have opportunities:
- To learn more about the wide variety of creatures in our environment
- Look carefully to make discoveries
- Think imaginatively through the use of stories
- Explore a range of creative activities and ideas
We welcome any resources the children might have to support the topic – if anyone has any frog spawn this would be greatly received.
The mathematical focus this term is on numbers and shape, please encourage the children to look for shapes at home and while you are out and about.
We hope to have lots of good weather so that we can concentrate on outdoor activities including games skills, in preparation for sports day later in the term.
During half term we hope that the nursery garden will be refurbished with lots of exciting new equipment.
Please remember, as the weather gets warmer the children should have a named sun hat in their bag and sun cream applied before they come to nursery. Also in case of accidents, could all children have a spare set of clothing and a plastic bag in their school bag.
Many Thanks
The Nursery staff
