Nursery

Spring Term 1 Knowledge Organiser – 2025/2026

The Latest Nursery Learning Update!

Our topic for this half term has been, ‘On your Marks…’ and this week we read the text, ’Real SuperHeroes’. We learned about real people who help us all and some examples of jobs we could do when we grow up. Some of us wanted to be pilots, police officers, cleaners and postal workers. We learned new vocabulary related to our text such as Gardener and waiter/waitress.

In maths we have been revisiting how to name and describe 2D and 3D shapes. We learned about using subject specific words such a sides, corners and flat to describe 2D shapes. We also learned to use words such solid and faces to describe 3D shapes such as cube, cone and cylinder. We looked at our environment and named the shapes around using our knowledge.

In phonics, some of us continued with working on our listening and attention through story time. Others have been reviewing the sounds and harder to read and spell words we have learned so far.

We were busy building different things using many types of resources such as screws, bolts and wheels. We have enjoyed sharing and waiting for our turn to play. Next week, we will be talking about transitions and exploring our feelings.

Reception

Spring Term 1 Knowledge Organiser – 2025/2026

The Latest Reception Learning Update!

This week has been incredibly busy for our new reception children and everyone has continued to settle in amazingly!

In English, we have been reading When A Dragon Goes To School by Caryl Hart and have been looking at rhyme. The children learnt that rhyming words are words that have the same middle and end sounds. We have also be answering the five different types of comprehension questions, to show our understanding of the book.

In Maths we have been thinking about routine and learning the days of the week and months of the year. We have been singing some very catchy songs to help us remember them!

Our book this week has also inspired our PSED lesson and we have been thinking about the school rules and why it is important to listen and share with others. This lead into our EAD where we created a collaborative art piece that represents our Bonneville values.

We are so excited for the year ahead and can’t wait to keep exploring and learning!
