Nat Fantastic

This week in Nursery we are reading a story called Nat Fantastic by Giles Andreae. Nat is a little boy who turns into a little superhero at bedtime when he sneezes. He whizzes through the air in his amazing silver pyjamas saving the world from greedy crocodiles and naught bank robbers! The book contains a repeated phrase which we will be encouraging the children to join in with when we read the story: "FLASH! BANG! WHIZZ! KABOOM! Nat Fantastic's in the room!"

We will talk about our favourite stories, songs and rhymes. We will also continue to learn the rules and routines in Nursery.
Our main focus for this week will be on Physical Development and Communication & Language, which are two areas of our Nursery curriculum. We will be finding out what the children can do in these areas through activities based around Nat Fantastic and the children's other interests.

This week also sees the start of Squiggle Whilst You Wiggle and Magic Maths. We will be holding parent sessions about these two parts of our Nursery day very soon so that you can find out more about them.

Ways to help at home this week

Talk about your child's favourite story. Read it together and ask them to tell it back to you.
Sing some songs and nursery rhymes together.
Talk about your child's favourite superhero. Encourage them to think about people who help us, e.g. firemen, doctors, parents, etc. as well as characters such as Spiderman and Ben 10.

A couple of reminders

Non uniform day is every Wednesday for Nursery. If your child comes to Nursery in non uniform they will need 50p for the money box.

The library box will be out on Wednesdays for you to choose a new book with your child. Don't forget to bring the old one back!
