Learning this Week
Nursery (PM) 7th February 2014

Language, Literacy & Communication
Children have really been getting involved in the home corner this week. Girls have been looking after baby dolls by dressing and feeding them and boys taking the baby dolls for a walk in the pushchair. We have had children dressing up as firefighters, princesses, Spiderman and Buzz Lightyear. This is all helping to develop their language and confidence to play with other children.

Mathematical Development
We have been threading beads and counting how many we have threaded. We have been making some great pictures with the magnetic shape boards and trying to remember the names of shapes. |
|
Knowledge and Understanding of the World We discussed morning routines and everything we had to do to get ready. Children looked at the picture cards and put them in the right order.
We cooked some yummy chocolate chip fairy cakes this week. Nice for a treat!

Personal and Social Development, Well Being and Cultural Diversity We celebrated Chinese New Year on Monday by making lanterns, using chopsticks to pick up noodles, and having a look at Chinese numbers which look very different from ours. Some of us even had a go at writing them. |
| Creative Development
We made a paper patchwork quilt by trying to write the first letter of our name and then decorating around it using pastels, crayons and felts.
|
Physical Development
This week we played musical statues to practice our listening skills and we played a movement game where we made our bodies tall and straight and then curled up small. We also listened to some Chinese music and danced along to it.

Welsh Language Development
The children have been introduced to our daily Welsh board. Every day Tedi, Doli and Beni Bwni will be asking us three questions. “Pa ddydd ydy hi?” (What day it it?), “Sut mae’r tywydd heddiw?” (What’s the weather today?) and “Beth ydyn ni’n bwyta?” (What will we eat today?) The children will help me in finding out the right answer and having a go at saying it in Welsh.

Anything else! Toy Sale on Monday…all toys 50p!!! Junior School hall, 2.30pm – 3.30pm
We seem to be getting more and more toys brought into school, which only get put into the home box until home time as the children do not play with them during the session. This means that at home time it is very busy trying to get them all out to the right children. With this in mind I think it would be best if children didn’t bring any toys into school. Thanks for your cooperation. |
