The children 

  • will be listening to simple stories and understand what is happening, with the help of pictures.
  • may find it difficult to pay attention to more than one thing at a time, but will be supported by an adult .
  • will use large and small motor skills to do things independently, for example managing buttons and zips, and pour drinks.
  • will develop manipulation and control.
  • will enjoy listening to songs and rhymes and join in singing with songs and rhymes, including copying sounds and following the tune and tempo, sometimes singing the songs and rhymes correctly.

 

In maths:

 

Children will begin counting-like behaviour, such as making sounds, pointing or saying some number names in sequence and will count in everyday contexts, sometimes skipping numbers - ‘1,2,3,5’

 

Children will show ‘finger numbers’ up to 5 and take part in finger rhymes with numbers

 

Number Rhymes:

  • Two Little Dickie Birds (0- 2)
  • One Elephant Went Out to Play (0-5)
  • Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed (0-5)

Here is the Beehive (0-5)

 

In Understanding the World

Children begin to make sense of their own life-story and family’s history

 

Activities:

  • Looking at pictures of their families, discussing past and present. Old photos of family before the children were born (past)
  • Showing the children black and white photos of characters/figures from the past, e.g., old Winnie the Pooh stories and the new cartoons, etc,

In Creative Development

Children will use their imagination as they consider what they can do with different materials and take part in simple pretend play, using an object to represent something else even though they are not similar.

The children will make simple models and drawings which express their ideas.

Activities:

  • Collaging/Free painting
  • Junk modelling and attaching using various joining materials.

Access to Lego, building bricks, Duplo, train tracks, etc. to allow children various opportunities to construct with different materials

Joining the Library

 

We believe that stories and reading is one of the most important things to share and we wouldn't want anyone to miss out. Joining the library and borrowing books is completely free. Our closest library is on Narborough Road (although there are lots of libraries all over the city). There are no forms to fill in, just drop in with some proof of ID. Why not pop in after nursery? You can join for free and start borrowing today!

Toilet Training

 

Learning to use the toilet is really important and something we work hard on in Daisy class. Children are reminded to use the toilet regularly and we know that accidents will still happen (there is just so much to do and play with!). We also work closely with each individual family to ensure we can support them at whatever stage of the journey they are at.  This website has lots of useful tips and advice:
