Spring 1 Week 2

Date: 17th Jan 2025 @ 9:33am

In English the Nursery children have had lots of fun going on their own sensory Bear Hunt to help retell the story. They explored lots of different textures with their feet. We had lots of giggles in the 'deep cold river' and the 'thick oozy mud!' 

We also created our own yummy shortbread teddy bears ready for our Teddy bears picnic. 

We had such an exciting adventure going on a bear hunt around the school grounds and then we sat and listened to a story with our teddy bears and enjoyed some yummy treats for our picnic.

The Nursery children have been learning about repeated patterns in Maths this week. They matched up different animal patterns to the correct animals and found matching pairs of socks. They then created their own repeated patterns to design their own socks.

In PSHE we have been thinking about thankfulness and reminded ourselves why it is important to use our manners. We thought about how it makes us feel when someone says please or thank you to us. We then practised saying ‘thank you’ by passing toys to our friends.

In Phonics we have been learning about the sound ‘d’. To help your child pronounce the sound say ‘Put your tongue to the top and front of your mouth and make a quick d sound d’

Our Nursery rhyme this week is ‘Row Row Row your boat’ and we have also enjoyed learning the Nursery Rhyme ‘Teddy Bear Teddy Bear turn around’ in our Music lesson. We enjoyed exploring different instruments and explored playing them loud, quiet, fast and slow.
