Nursery news
|
Hi Everyone, Thank you so much for your front door photos! The children have loved talking about their pictures and they have inspired lots of great counting and writing. Do keep sending them in. We are excited that Richmond Park is now open again for school group visits. What an amazing learning resource right on our doorstep! We hope to be able to take the nursery children there soon so look out for more details on this shortly. Have a lovely weekend, Clare and the nursery team. |

This week in teaching time we have : |
Enjoyed finding out about our caterpillars. We have read information books to learn about how caterpillars change and we have sequenced pictures to illustrate this. We have learned a new caterpillar rhyme which has helped us practise our counting. |
|
Next week we will: |
Continue our work on ‘Busy Bugs’. We will read, ‘The Very Busy Spider’ and do lots of activities about number 8. We will think about words beginning with ‘S’ and we will continue practising writing our names. We will go bug hunting in our forest school area and nursery garden and we will use lots of different resources to make bug homes. |
|
Other nursery learning as part of our continuous provision : |
We have made caterpillars with lots of different materials and media including paint, paper and card. We have used sticks from the forest school area as well as wool, textiles and recycled packaging. We have thought about healthy eating choices and had fun making delicious fruit kebabs. We have enjoyed sequencing activities to show the life cycle of a caterpillar and we have ordered numbers and objects to make patterns. |

Reminders |
Do make sure all your child’s belongings ( including any water bottles) are named, especially as the weather gets warmer…hopefully! |
