Language, Literacy & Communication
We have been singing Nursery Rhymes this week and have been learning new ones. Children have been exploring the scrimbling table where they have been trying to male lots of different marks with the chalks. I have seen curly lines, straight lines and zig zag lines! We have also been playing shop in our class newsagents with lots of talk between the shopkeeper and the customer. |
Mathematical Development
Children have been playing a number fishing game. When they caught a number with the magnet, they had to match it to the correct Numicon shape. We have also been making patterns with the Numicon shapes. |
|
Knowledge and Understanding of the World We were explorers when we went on our welly walk. We went under and over the bridge, we spotted leaves on the ground but none in the trees. We spotted some birds flying in the sky and we also heard the noisy traffic. |
Personal and Social Development, Well Being and Cultural Diversity The new children are settling in really well and are confident to explore the classroom. We are learning the routine well with the help of our friends who have been in the afternoon nursery for longer. |
| Creative Development
We have been getting messy with the glue and making beautiful pictures with the coloured paper. We have also been squeezing, squashing, rolling and patting the playdough to make different shapes. |
Physical Development
Our first week of Move it Mondays went really well. We moved our bodies to this week’s Write Dance, “Sandy Hill” and we played the beans game – jumping beans (jumping), jelly beans (wobble like a jelly), runner beans (jog on the spot) and baked beans (curl up into a small round shape) – have a go at home…I’m sure the children will show you how!

Welsh Language Development
Children have been trying their best to use their welsh words when they check-in with Rhodri in the morning – Hapus (happy), wedi blino (tired) and trist (sad). Bendegedig!!
|
Anything else! Next week we will start sending Kipper our class dog home for one night. If your child brings Kipper home, please let your child watch you write in the diary and then give your children a turn at doing their own writing in the diary, even if they are just making marks that we can’t read, it means something to your child and is an important part of building confidence as early writers.
Don’t forget…jogging bottoms and trainers for Move it Monday and wellies for Welly Wednesday.
