Our Learning this Week
Nursery 14thMarch 2014

Language, Literacy & Communication
Ben and Betty have been teaching us the sound “t” this week. We read “The Tiger who came to Tea” and then used puppets to retell the story. Some children wanted to play the story in the home corner so we had children taking in turns to dress as the tiger while other children fed it lots of pretend food and drink!

Mathematical Development
We made towers and talked about which tower was the tallest. Children counted how many bricks the used to make their tower… the tallest was 26 bricks! We went outside on a hunt to make collections of ten….ten stones, ten twigs, ten leaves. We had some surprise finds while looking…a big worm and a small slug! |

Knowledge and Understanding of the World
We cooked biscuits this week – we could choose if we made a teddy biscuit or a triangle biscuit. They smelt and tasted delicious.
|
Personal and Social Development, Well Being and Cultural Diversity
We read a story about taking turns and discussed whether it was right for someone to snatch. The children offered ideas about how you could feel if someone shared or didn’t share something. |
|
Creative Development
We sang nursery rhymes while tapping different parts of our body to the beat. We drew tigers and coloured them using black and orange stripes. |
Physical Development
We moved to a Write Dance song called the Tickle Tree – our favourite parts were the wobbly movements! We also travelled across the hall in different ways…hopping, jumping, crawling and sideways. |
|
Welsh Language Development
Tedi Twt arrived in Nursery. The children all passed him around the circle and said “Bore Da” to him. Tedi Twt then asked “Pwy Wyt ti?” (Who are you?) and all the children had a go at telling Tedi Twt their name…e.g. ”Mrs.Amirat ydw i” – Bendigedig pawb!

Anything else!
Don’t forget parents meeting next week – see me to book your 10 minute slot. Nursery doors open at 9.50am – please try to bring your children in on time as we have a very busy carpet time in the morning and it can be disruptive if children are coming into nursery after 9.00am. Thanks for your cooperation. |
