Welcome to the Nursery Home Learning page

Each week your child will be given a challenge. Please date the work, add the title that is given and use a maximum of two pages, per challenge. Please record what your child does/say in their Home-Wow Books. Alternatively, you could upload photos to Tapestry but please let Mrs Barber or Miss Whittaker know if you have done this. The books will be given out on Friday's and we expect them to be in school by the following Tuesday so that we can share our learning.

Dear Nursery children,

This week you have not received your Home-Wow Book. Your challenge is to join us in singing on the stage, at 12.10pm, on Sunday at the Christmas Fair. We hope that you can all join us as we sing better, together. We are due to be on stage at 12.15pm but please be slightly earlier. Thank-you.

See you on Sunday

Dear Nursery children,

Thank-you for completing the last two challenges; the light hunt and bring in a photo of a birthday celebration. 

This week I am setting you the challenge of looking for stripy patterns. Ask your grown-up to help you to find some patterns. Maybe you could add them to tapestry or to your book.

Dear Nursery children,

Thank-you for sharing your kindness home learning. It is good to be kind. Please keep remembering to use those special words 'please' and 'thank-you'. People who help you appreciate this. 

This weekend I am giving you two challenges...

1. Please bring in a photo of you celebrating a birthday. It could be a birthday of yours or somebody that you know. Please do not stick the photo into your book as I want to put it on display.

1. We have been thinking about candles being lit whilst we have been learning about the Festivals of Light, Diwali and Hanukkah. Candles produce light but light doesn't always come from a candle. I wonder, can you find anything that produces light in your home? Can you find anything that produces light, when you are out and about?

Go on a light hunt. How many lights will you find? Do they all look the same? Do you know how the lights work? Maybe you could take photos of the lights that you find or you could draw them, in your book (or add photos to Tapestry).

Dear Nursery children,

Thank-you so much for sharing your baby/birth photos. We have talked about a birthday being the day that we celebrate when we are born. We will continue to think about this, next week. 

This weeks Home-Wow is to continue to think about kindness. Everyday we say 'help me to be kind to everyone' when we are saying our prayer. How are you kind to everyone? What do you do to help others? What kind words can you use to cheer somebody up?

Talk to your grown-ups and add a drawing to your book sharing how you are kind, to others.

Your RE homework this week is to please complete the RE Family Home-learning task, if you have not done so already. This was explained in the newsletter 2 weeks before half term. We have extended the deadline until November the 14^th but we would kindly receive any work in as soon as possible. Thank you. 

7th November 2025

Dear Nursery children,

Thank-you for bringing in your leaves and Autumnal objects they really helped us to think about the Autumnal changes that are happening and the Leaf Person that you created really looked like you! 

This weekend I would like you to find a photo of when you were a baby. Please talk to your grown-up about how they celebrated your birth, when you were born, where you were born, who was with you and how your family welcomed you. Please add this to your Home-Wow Book, or Tapestry. We look forward to seeing your photos and looking at how much you have changed. We will be talking about this in Nursery, next week.

Title: My Birth (grown-up's - please write down any comments that your child may make)

Dear Nursery children,

Thank-you for sharing your lovely Creation home learning. It was great to see. You haven't got your Home-Wow Book, this week.

Over the half-term I am setting you the challenge of going for an Autumn walk. Whilst on the walk I would like you to collect Autumnal objects so that we can use them in class, after the holidays. You could collect leaves of different shapes, colours and sizes. What else might you find? Please bring in what you find.

Have a lovely break

17th October 2025

Dear Nursery children,

Thank-you so much for sharing your Spider Hunt home-learning. There were fabulous pictures and photos that were shared with your friends and thank-you to your grown-ups for writing down what you said about your learning. 

This week we have continued to share the story of Creation. At home I would like you to talk to your grown-up about what you think is the best thing that God created. Maybe you could add photos to your book or draw pictures. Maybe you could cut out pictures from a magazine or add a video to Tapestry, talking about the thing you like most about Creation. Remember the words that God spoke "it was good", God liked what he created and he created the world for us all. 

Please bring in your book by Tuesday. Grown-ups, please remember to add the title (God's Creation), the date and to write down the comments that your child makes. Please only use a maximum of two pages, in the book. 

Have a lovely weekend

Miss Whittaker

10th October 2025

Dear Nursery children,

Welcome to your first Home-Wow learning challenge, Spider Hunt (title).

This week we have started to think about God's wonderful creatures, the Spider. When you are out and about see if you can find some Spiders. Maybe you could draw a picture or take photos. Photos can be shared on Tapestry or added to your book. Ask your grown-up to write down what you say about the spiders and about where you found them. 

Remember, use only your eyes to look at the spiders. We don't want to hurt them. We look after God's creatures.

Happy Spider hunting

Miss Whittaker
