Nursery Weekly Update 6th March 2015

Our Learning this Week

Language, Literacy and Communication

 

This week Ben and Betty have been teaching us the letter sound “r”. We read the story “Little Red Riding Hood”.

We looked at pictures of different characters had had to decide if they were from the story of Red Riding Hood or not.
Our Write Dance had us making curved shapes for rainbows.

 

Mathematical Development

 

We had a visit from Robbie the shape eating robot and his friends. He sent us a message with the challenge of finding different shapes outside. The children had to make sure they fed the shapes to right hungry robot. We remembered what each shape was called too!

 

Knowledge and Understanding of the World

 

We talked about the Fairtrade logo, what it looks like and what it means. The children then had to make a food basket for Red Riding Hood’s grandma but only choosing the foods that were Fairtrade. Help your child look out for the Fairtrade logo next time you are out shopping.

 

Personal and Social Development, Wellbeing and Cultural Diversity.

 

We talked about whether Little Red Riding Hood should have talked to the big bad wolf.

We also cooked healthy rainbow cous cous salad.

 

 

Creative Development

 

We painted beautiful rainbows and sang the rainbow song.

We also used rectangles to make robot pictures.

Physical Development

 

We counted down from ten to zero and zoomed around like rockets in the hall. Then we played ring a ring a roses.

We had some fun doing robot moves to a funny robot song.

 

Welsh Language Development

 

While painting our pretty rainbows we tried to say the welsh colours.
We also talked about what the shapes are called in Welsh when collecting the shapes for the robots.

 

                      Anything else…

 

 

We had a lovely time celebrating World Book Day by reading a very cute story called “Little Blue and Little Yellow” and it was great to see the children in their costumes.

Have a good weekend.
