September 2025- Our topic is Autumn.

We will be settling into Nursery and getting used to our new routines. We will be learning about ourselves and our senses and feelings. We will look at how the world around us looks in Autumn. 

Some things to work on at home:

Putting your coat on by yourself- we have been practising the coat flip at Nursery

Going to the toilet by yourself

Washing your hands

Counting to 10 

Recognise your name

Monster Phonics

Here at Glan Yr Afon we are using Monster Phonics to develop our skills for both reading and writing. We will meet all of the new monster characters and they will help us with their special sounds.

The Monster characters have a special song that will help us to recognise them. It's really fun. We have included some links so that they can explain who they are and how they work.
