At Honeybourne Primary Academy Nursery we use a themed approach to learning, reflecting children's interests, where each term an exciting topic is used as a starting point for learning.

Summer term 2022

This term our topic is focused around 'Bears'. 

Henry is our Nursery 'Everywhere Bear'. He loves to go home with the children for short visits to experience new adventures. He likes to join in with family life and we send home his diary so families can record his visit. We read Henry's adventure stories to the class and encourage the child to talk about their time together using prompts from the photos included.

Spring term 2022

This term our topic is focused around 'Amazing Animals'.   

We have an 'On Safari' role play area where the children can 'drive' their jeeps and search for animals. We are sharing stories about animals and learning lots of facts.

The children are having lots of fun taking part in activities which will cover the whole Early Years curriculum.

The children loved meeting Sunny and Bunny when they visited Nursery. They were very happy to be stroked and the children are learning to respect and care for living things.

  Charlie and Lola came to spend the day with us at Nursery. Charlie is black and Lola is brown. They always need hay and water bcause they are hungry and thirsty Guinea Pigs. Their favourite food is grass and they love dandelions and fruits.

The children stroked them carefully and gently on their bodies because they don't like their head or bottom touched.

We had a lovely day looking after them.

Autumn term 2021

The children have settled happily into our new school year at Nursery, building secure relationships with staff and having lots of fun.

_{The children explored their own faces and hair in a mirror.} 

They were able to talk about their hair and eye colour, describe their face and name features.

The children made some fabulous skeletons while naming body parts and learning new vocabulary.

                           In Forest School the children worked together to make a fabulous conker number line for our maths outdoor continuous provision.

Zones of Regulation - is a social-emotional learning curriculum to teach children self regulation and emotional control.

The children regularly learn to identify and name emotions. They have given examples of when they might feel this way, using their own words.
