Spring Term In Nursery

Newsletter for parents/carers of children in Nursery

Happy New Year! We have had a wonderful start to 2026 and it has been lovely to see everyone from last term and to welcome Amber who is settling beautifully. 

Topics for this term 

We will be following the topic of ‘Our World through Traditional Tales’, for this first half term, where we will be doing lots of activities to support the children in learning about the world and where we live. Each week we will focus on a traditional tale and link it with an aspect of the world, in order to develop the children’s understanding of different ways of life and different places. 

In addition we will be celebrating the Lunar New Year. 

After half term, we will be engaging with a new topic of ‘Our Community’, where we will be learning about things in our local area and the people who help and support us. 

Library Books

The children will have the opportunity to choose a library book on a weekly basis. Each group will change their books on the following days:

• Red Group Tuesdays
• Blue Group Wednesdays
• Green Group Thursdays

Please ensure children have their library books in their book bags on their allotted day.

How you can help at home

• Encourage your child to be as independent as possible
• Encourage your child to remember to tidy away their toys after finishing with them
• Talk, talk, talk! Please talk to your children about what they are doing / making, modeling back talking in full sentences
• Talk about rhyming words and sing lots of Nursery rhymes
• Look for numbers and shapes in the environment
• Continue to share lots of stories and talk about what has happened in the book
• Practise putting on coats and shoes when going outside
• Encourage children to start to get themselves dressed as this is a fantastic skill to have for entry into Reception, especially for changing for P.E.
