As part of our topic we will be enjoying fairy tales, tales about knights and princesses and exploring the question 'Do Dragons Exist.'.

Religious Education

In Nursery at St Peter's we follow the Jack in the Box scheme which has been developed by Early Years Specialists. Our worship sessions follow a familiar, repeated pattern with fun songs set to well-known tunes and a variety of learning strategies guaranteed to engage our children in the Bible stories. Children travel with Jack the dog to meet the Big Bible Heroes of the Old Testament and then on to learn all about Jesus and his love for the world, and the adventures of his friends and followers.  This term we will learn about the how we can use the bible to remember God's Big Plan.

Communication & Language 

We will be listening to a variety of stories and . We will also be using our role play area to act out the stories we are reading, by remembering key phrases, characters and events. Children will begin to develop their answers to who, where and what questions. We will be using 'Word Aware' to help children use new vocabulary and use it within their play and learning.
