What Your Child Will Learn This Month
Literacy

- Child produces the Y and Z sounds when shown the letters. Child produces at least 22 of 26 letter sounds in mixed order by month end.
Numeracy
- Numbers 1 through 20 — complete year-end revision. Random-order numeral identification. Reliable touch-counting to 20. Counting in context — counting real classroom objects and children.
- Child recognises all numerals 1 through 20 in mixed order. Child counts out any requested quantity from 1 to 20 with reliable one-to-one correspondence.
Fine Motor
- Children revisit free drawing, bead threading, and supported cutting as year-end fine-motor consolidation.
- Child shows growing control and confidence while drawing, threading beads, and using scissors with support.
Gross Motor

Sensory

- Child engages purposefully in each week's sensory or familiar pretend-play experience for a sustained period.
Creative
- Year-end art celebrates alphabet completion and the Nursery journey, progressing from an alphabet craft toward a final shared class display of what we learned this year.
- Child contributes a year-end craft or display piece, names one thing they learned this year, and helps place work on the shared celebration display.
Well-being
- Year-end celebration — what have we achieved? Gratitude for the year — expressing thanks to teachers, friends, and family. Year reflection — what was my favourite moment? Readiness for K1 — excitement and confidence for the next stage.
- Child participates in the year-end celebration with confidence and joy. Child expresses genuine gratitude for one aspect of the year. Child describes one favourite memory from the Nursery year.
General Awareness

Practical Life
