Nursery: Ducklings

Mrs Kent

Welcome to Ducklings

Autumn 1 - Topic – Why Do You Love Me So Much?

We have been exploring how we prepare for the arrival of a new baby and will soon be visited by a baby in the classroom

In the secret garden we helped the worm parents find their babies and we have been drawing pictures of ourselves and members of our family and practising writing our names.

We are sharing some popular books, such as 'Guess How Much I Love You', 'The Babies Catalogue' and 'There is a House in Mummy’s Tummy'. We will shortly be taking photos of ourselves to paint and caring for an abandoned teddy.

Library day is Tuesday, please return your child's library book every Tuesday. We will soon begin taking the children to the library. If your child brings home a book, please ensure it is always kept in their book bag, as it will need to be signed out every week.

Please share a book with your child at home. We are encouraging our children to develop a love of stories and books in the classroom and by supporting this interest at home, it will develop early literacy skills.

Our Secret Garden day is on Monday. wellies and waterproofs are needed as we will go out in all kinds of weather.

At St-Margaret's we don't have paper Learning Journeys we use an online site called Tapestry. You should have your login from transition week but if you are having any problems please feel free to see a member of the EYFS staff to help you. This is a lovely site as you will be able to share videos and pictures of any experience you and your child experiences outside of school.
