Our Learning this Week
Nursery (PM) 14th February 2014

Language, Literacy & Communication
We have been exploring mark making in rice trays and gloop. We also wrote birthday cards for Rhodri and posted them into our new class postbox. We have enjoyed listening to and talking about the story of Red Riding Hood.

Mathematical Development
We have been exploring the Numicon shapes on the boards with the pegs. We have counted pegs into the Numicon shape which has helped us with recognition and recall of the Numicon shapes. We have enjoyed singing 5 little ducks and 5 little monkeys on the bed., using our fingers to helps ud count down. |

Knowledge and Understanding of the World
We made rainbow cous cous salad using healthy colourful peppers. It was also interesting to see the cous cous change from a small amount of hard grains to a larger amount of soft fluffy grains…just from adding water! |
Personal and Social Development, Well Being and Cultural Diversity
We have been learning how important it is to be gentle with our friends. We have also been learning that saying sorry for doing something will sometimes make someone feel better. |
| Creative Development
We sang the rainbow song and then painted our own rainbows using all the colours. |
Physical Development
We did “The Rainbow” in Write Dance which meant making large arched movements with our arms. We also played a whole class game of Ring a Roses and we explored rolling the balls with a partner. |

Welsh Language Development
We tried learning the colours in Welsh when drawing rainbows – Coch (red), melyn (yellow), pinc (pink), gwyrdd (green), porffor (purple), oren (orange), glas (blue).

Anything else!
Keith Towler, the Children’s Commisioner for Wales, came into school to celebrate Rhodri’s 5th birthday. Thanks to everyone who donated to Unicef’s Day for Change cause – we had fun celebrating while children who are less fortunate will benefit from our fundraising. |
