Our Nursery Rhyme of the week has been 'Baa Baa Black Sheep'. Can your child sing along when prompted, using some simple signs?
Our sounds for this week have been 'c' for cat and cup and 'k' for kite and ketchup. Can your child remember these sounds and tell you something that begins with that sound?
In Maths, we have been looking at small quantities and 'subitising'. Check out this super simple song that the children have been learning from Jack Hartmann to help us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSlA-u_ABmU
In Phonics we have been learning the sounds 'm' for mouse and 'd' for duck. We have also begun hearing sounds in short CVC words when blended for us!
We have LOVED getting messy and exploring gloop this week. We used tools including whisks and spoons but nothing was as satisfying as getting our hands and fingers in to make marks and explore the texture!
We have made our own polar bear crafts using very soft cotton wool and also printing using a pom pom attached to a peg!
Continuing on with our Winter theme, this week we are thinking about animals that like and live in cold and wintry conditions. We could think of lots of different ones and have chosen to learn about...Polar Bears.
This week in Phonics we have learnt the new sounds 'i' for iguana and 'n' for net. Ask your child if they can tell you anything else that begins with that sound. Do they know the sound that their name begins with and what it looks like?
In Maths we have been subitising numbers up to 3 and recognising those small amounts and Numicon shapes really quickly! We have also been learning a shape song - check out the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEbRDtCAFdU&list=RDOEbRDtCAFdU&start_radio=1
We have been developing our fine motor skills and control using a range of tools, including cotton buds and pipettes with very watery paint!
This week we have continued our exploration of winter and have been exploring...ice!
Happy New Year to our Nursery children and families. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday.
Welcome to our Nursery Class Page!
Our topic for this half-term is...Winter!
The weather for our return to school could not have been more appropriate for the children to explore and get a better understanding of the season. This is what we have been up to in Nursery this week...
We have explored sledging in the snow in a makeshift sledge, wrapping up warmly in appropriate clothing and making our own snowflake pictures using salt and glue!
In phonics we have been recapping sounds that we had learnt before Christmas - s,a,t and p. Ask your child if they can tell you anything that begins with those sounds or play an eye-spy game!
In Maths we have been singing the song '5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed' from BBC Teach.https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/articles/zm7rf4j The children love singing along!
We have looked at and shared some stories about Winter and Snow. If you have any books at home please share them with your child.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q4mXrfkyO8 This story by Sue Hendra was a particular favourite of ours this week!
