Nurture Room 

First Term 2024 

November and December- 2024

This half term is going to be action packed for the Thrive Hive children!  Our new topic revolves around one of the children's favourite things...Toys!  As well as learning some interesting facts about toys, the children will also be exploring a range of other related areas.  A selection of these are:  

• Recognising their emotions and linking them to special memories based around the beautiful story 'The Paper Dolls' by Julia Donaldson
• Enhancing their talking and listening skills through group discussions and imaginative play scenarios
• Designing, predicting and testing their very own toys
• Using sensory materials such as playdough to make their favourite toys and developing their confidence when talking in a group
• Learning how to share and take turns, applying this knowledge in different play scenarios

Alongside this, the boys and girls will also be preparing for the festive season and learning  about 'A Special Baby'.  They will be exploring a wide variety of sensory craft activities such as ice painting, learning songs/rhymes, exploring percussion instruments, baking delicious treats such as snowflake buns, sharing stories together and most importantly, building friendships and looking after each other.

**Remember**

We hope to take many of our activities into the outdoors so please ensure that your child brings a warm coat to school each day.

Thank you for your continued support.
