Our Learning this Week
Nursery 21st February 2014
|
Language, Literacy & Communication
We read Welsh stories. Our favourite was a Tedi Twt story where he had to decide what clothes he had to wear for different types of weather. We have been singing some traditional Welsh nursery rhymes and enjoying them greatly.

Mathematical Development
We did lots of counting in Welsh this week. We are getting very good at counting how many children are in class each day and the biggest number we have got to is dau deg chwech. We also matched the Numicon shapes onto the numberline and then counted along from 1-10 in Welsh. |
|
Knowledge and Understanding of the World
We cooked Bara Brith using a traditional Welsh recipe. We talked about the ingredients we used and described what we could see and smell as we were cooking. Our daily Welsh board helps us talk about the weather in Welsh everyday, however we always seem to be saying “Mae hi’n bwrw glaw” lately. Lets hopw it will be “Mae hi’n heulog” very soon. |
Personal and Social Development, Well Being and Cultural Diversity
We have been remembering our manners this week. We have been saying “diolch” and “os gwellech yn dda” whenever we can. What a polite nursery! |
|
Creative Development
We looked at some daffodils and then we painted them onto canvas. These colourful paintings will be going in the home corner to make it look homely. We also did some painting and printing with leeks. We used colour that are on the Welsh flag – coch, gwin a gwyrdd.
|
Physical Development
We watched some children doing a Welsh folk dance to the song “Mi welais Jac y Do” and then we had a go at doing the dance ourselves. |
|
Welsh Language Development
It has been Welsh week this week so we have been listening to lots of Welsh in the classroom. We have also been looking at Welsh culture and food. We went on a Rhodri hunt outdoors where children took turn to hide a little Rhodri and then we all shouted “Ble mae Rhodri?” (Where is Rhodri?) |
Anything else!
Children can wear their Welsh outfits on the first day back after half term (3rd March). Thursday 6th March will be World Book Day, so maybe children can think of their favourite story from home and bring it in during the first week back. We will try and read as many as we can! Have a great, fun filled half term. |
