Welcome to Ferney Lee Nursery 

Summer 1

This half term we have started off by learning the story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears.  We have made our own porridge and have used clay to make small, medium and big bowls.  Next we're going to be thinking about where we live in Todmorden and then learning about the United Kingdom before going on a tour of Europe!  We'll be making and tasting a lot of food along the way before finishing off the term learning about the lifecycle of caterpillars and butterflies based on the story of 'The Hungry Caterpillar.'Enter text...

Spring 2

This half term we are starting off looking at the story of 'Jack and the Beanstalk' and thinking about vocabulary to describe length.  We'll be planting broadbean seeds and watching them grow. and going on walks around our school grounds to look for signs of spring.  Other topics for this half term include Space, Dinosuars, Our Bodies and Easter.  As usual we'll be linking lots of stories, songs and activities to each of our topics.  Enter text...

Spring 1

We are starting off this half term thinking about birds that visit our school.  We'll be focusing on books like 'Owl Babies' and 'A Busy day for Birds'; making bird feeders and using our binoculars to spot and learn the names of different types of birds.  We'll then move on to learning about different jobs that people do as well as celebrating Chinese New Year.  Our traditional tale this half term will be 'Little Red Riding Hood'.  

Autumn 2

In autumn 2 we focused our learning on the seasons and getting ready for Christmas - making mince pies; decorating a tree for the Christmas tree festival at the Hippodrome and putting on a show for our grown ups!

 Autumn 1

Look how well we are settling in!

Autumn 1 in Nursery

The children are already settling into Nursery so well and beginning to explore their new classroom and outdoor area.  This half term the staff will be focusing on getting to know the children and making sure we are doing everything we can to help them feel safe and secure. Please speak to us if you have any concerns or if there is anything you think we can do to help your child with their transition to our nursery.

We plan thematically but these plans often change in response to the direction that the children take their learning in. If your child has a specific or new interest please always let us know and we will try and incorporate it into the learning.

For the first half term we will be focusing on families and babies - 3 of our families are expecting new arrivals in the next few weeks!  We'll also be exploring friends and feelings, our homes and autumn.  Some of the books we'll be reading are, 'The Colour Monster', 'The Paper Dolls', 'Goodnight Owl' and 'Room on the Broom'.
