Nursery Early Years Team - Autumn Term 1, 2026
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to Nursery - we have a fantastic term ahead of us! The children are already settling in so well and have had a great start exploring all of our Nursery toys and play areas. We are now ready to start learning our letters and sounds! Our first sound is 'm' and we will begin by making the sound and looking at pictures of different objects which start with 'm'. We will have a sound wall with pictures and a sound table with things beginning with 'm' to look at and to touch. By the end of each sound week, we will have a go at writing our sound on a whiteboard. Each week we will look at a new sound and for some of the trickier sounds, we will be working on these over two weeks.
We will work with our numbers in a similar way. Each week we will have a new number focus. Starting with number one, we will use 'Numberblocks' to help us with our learning - you might have already be familiar with 'Numberblocks' from 'CBeebies' - they are very helpful and make number learning even more fun!
There will still be LOTS of playing, games and creative time so we will be very busy in Nursery and we can't wait to show you all the things that we will be learning this term.
Sounds and numbers will be displayed on our parent board outside the classroom and homework will be based on these. Book bag day is Friday, please make sure that book bags are brought to school each Friday so that homework can be collected and renewed and that new books can be sent home. A reading record in in each book bag so that you can let us know how your child is enjoying reading at home, how they are listening to you read and when they have a go on their own! 'Reading Eggs' logins will also be in home readers so that children can start phonics games at home (please always supervise your child when they are using a device as online safety is extremely important).
We are looking forward to a wonderful Autumn Term together. Sincerely,
Miss Foster and The Early Years Team
