Maths

In Maths this term, we have been focusing on developing the children's spatial awareness, particularly their understanding of position and routes. The children have been learning to use words like "under," "over," "next to," and "behind" to describe where objects are, and to follow and create simple routes. Through games, stories, and hands-on activities, they are building important early Maths skills that help them make sense of their environment and prepare them for future learning in shape, space, and measure.

You can support your child's spatial awareness at home by using everyday language about position — for example, asking them to put their shoes under the chair or find their toy next to the sofa. You could also set up simple obstacle courses, go on treasure hunts using directional clues, or let your child help plan routes during walks ("Shall we go around the tree or through the gate?"). These little activities make learning fun and help strengthen important early Maths skills!

Builders

This week in Nursery, we have been learning all about the occupation of builders! The children explored what builders do, the tools they use, and the different types of buildings they help create. Through role-play, stories, and construction activities, the children enjoyed pretending to be builders themselves — designing, building, and problem-solving. It’s been a wonderful way to spark their imagination while developing teamwork, communication, and fine motor skills!
