Nursery Class- Miss Cummings
Summer 1 2026
In the event that our school has to close we have added a series of links below which your child can follow. Once your child has completed any work we would love to see photos on tapestry. In Nursery we believe the best learning comes through play and exploring so spend lots of your time sharing experiences with your child!
Phonics
In phonics we will learn to distinguish the difference between sounds. We will learn animal noises, vehicle noises and everyday noises e.g. a phone ringing, a kettle boiling, a doorbell. You could go on a listening walk at home and name the sounds you can hear.
To prepare children to learn the pure sounds and to begin to tune in with different sounds below are some FRED games. You can also have fun by adding FRED talking into your daily routine for example, asking your child to find their h-a-t and see if they can guess what you are saying.
Maths
As mathematicians we will be learning about 2D and 3D shapes. You can look for some shapes around the house and look out for 3D shape packaging e.g. cubiod cereal boxes, cyclinder kitchen roll tubes etc.
Literacy
As writers we will be looking at recognising and writing our own name and having a go at copying some of the letters. Can you support your child at writing their own name? This could be on their pictures, in cards or on shopping lists. Start with the first letter to help your child recognise their own name.
To develop our fine motor skills we will be doing regular dough disco sessions, follow the link below and have some fun at the dough disco!

As readers we will be looking at a range of stories, thinking about the problems and solutions in stories. Whilst you are reading at home can you ask your child the following questions;
-Who are the characters?
-What is the problem?
-What is the solution?
-Would you change the ending?
Below is a letter formation sheet which will help you support your child at beginning to write their own name.
Understanding the world- Geographers
As Geographers will be following and creating our own treasure maps, You could make a map of a room or your garden and put x marks the spot for some "treasure" to find.
Expressive arts and design- DT
We will be linking our Art learning to the work of Kandinsky. We will look at creating collage pictures with different sized ciircles. You can collage a picture at home using cut up paper, tin toil or coloured card.
Physical development
As sportspeople we will learn how to hold
balls with one or two hands. We will throw
and catch balls to ourselves and then in a
given direction. See if your child can throw a balls in a given direction. You could develop fine motor skills by cutting,
threading, writing, painting and building.
