Nursery Weekly Update 13th February 2015

This week Ben and Betty have been teaching us the letter sound “p”. We read the story “The Three Little Pigs”.

Betty didn’t know the story so the children tried to recall different parts of the story for each character. We had some really good story telling words.
Our Write Dance had us practising circles, dots and curved lines.

We explored ways of making 10 with two Numicon shapes to fit inside the three pigs’ house.

We made patterns copying the Numicon pattern cards.

We explored different materials to make large houses outside for the pigs. We collected dry grass, big and small sticks, and rocks to make the three houses.

We asked the children “Who did you like playing with today?” and encouraged children to tell others what and who they played with.

We painted pink pigs and made some beautiful pasta heart bracelets and necklaces for valentine’s day.

We used special paper to design a new house for the pigs. When our drawing was done we chose what construction set we needed to build it.

We used the balls in the hall to practise different ways of passing to each other. We rolled, threw and caught the ball.

We moved our bodies to Write Dance “Pat-A-Cake”.

We played a parachute game where we had to listen to our names and then swap places with a friend.

We have been practising the Welsh animal song in preparation for the Eisteddfod.

We read “Picnic” and learnt some new words such as brechdannau – sandwiches and sudd oren – orange juice.
We have continued using Rhodri “Mae h’in amser….” signs to tell us when there is a change in routine.

Have a great half term.

We look forward to hearing what you have all been up to when we see you back at school on Monday 23^rd February.
