Autumn Term 1

Me and my community

In the All About Me project, your child will settle into Nursery and begin to understand that it is a safe and happy place to be. They will learn about daily routines and how to follow the simple rules of Nursery life. Your child will explore their emotions using the story The Colour Monster, helping them to recognise and name different feelings.

They will also begin to talk about themselves, their favourite things, and what makes them unique. Through art and play, your child will explore their own facial features and begin to represent themselves in drawings and models. They will share who is important to them and talk about their family and loved ones.

Supporting your child at home

• Talk about your child’s feelings each day. Use simple emotion words like happy, sad, angry, and calm.

• Look in a mirror together and name the different parts of the face. Encourage your child to draw a picture of themselves.

• Share family photos and talk about who is in your family and why they are special.

• Chat about your child’s favourite toys, food, colours or games – and share your favourites too!
