01.06.20 - Week 1 - Hello, I hope you are all still keeping safe and well.
As you may already know, this week we are beginning our phased return back to school and with this in mind we are slightly altering the home learning that we set. The work set will be the same for those in school, as those that are remaining at home. If your child is returning to school, you will only need to complete the activities set on a Friday with them, as the rest will be done in school with us.
Each day the activities will be as follows:
*1 maths
*1 phonics
*1 writing
Packs will be available from school at the beginning of each week, these will outline the activities for each day and have printouts of any resources/worksheets that you require for that week. Don't panic if you are unable to collect the work packs, I have tried to make it so that most of the worksheets can be replicated at home with paper and a pen (also attached as documents below).
As a school we have decided that every year group will be working along the same theme/topic for writing, therefore if you feel your child needs extra challenge in this area, you can access this through the Reception class. However please email me at nurseryclass@castle-hill.bolton.sch.uk to confirm if this is appropriate for your child.
We are also kindly asking that you photograph any work that has been completed at home and add it to Tapestry. We would still love to see how those remaining at home are getting on as we miss them a lot!
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions

We have enjoyed out first week back at Nursery since the Christmas break. We welcomed some new children into our Nursery and explored our new topic book called ''The Naughty Bus'' We invented our own Naughty Bus story by taking him on a journey around the school and finding hiding places for it.
During our topic learning of our second term we have been looking at Autumn.We went on our own Autumn walk in the outdoor area to hunt for all things we might see in Autumn.
Here is our learning journey of everything that we have been doing this term.
This week our topic is Real Life Superheroes. We have learnt about different people who help us, such as the Dentists Police and Doctors. We have had fun dressing up in the uniforms and exploring the tools and equipment that they use.
An African Dance company came in and did some dancing with us. They taught us some fun moves and we copied him. We had lots of fun!
This week we have been learning about Healthy eating. We learnt the names of different fruit and vegetables and explored how they looked and tasted. At the end of the week we made some yummy fruit kebabs!
We have also been learning about Superheroes. We read our class book 'Supertato' and explored the different vegetables from the story. We made our own Supertato characters, completed a Superhero obstacle course and even made our own soup with the Vegetables from the story!
