Language, Literacy & Communication
The children have been playing with the magnetic letters and our new red notebooks in the writing area. We have also been posting our pictures and writing in our postbox in the writing area. Our home corner has been popular this week and we have seen some great dressing and pretending going on.

Mathematical Development
We have been counting teddies this week. We placed a teddy on each number on the number line and then counted to ten with an adult. We also used the teddies to make pairs of teddies looking at their size and colour. |

Knowledge and Understanding of the World
We have talked more about the weather this week and how it is changing…less rain and we have actually seen a little bit of sunshine! We made yummy chocolate chip cakes as a treat this week…very tasty! |
Personal and Social Development, Well Being and Cultural Diversity
We have been trying to remember how to be a good friend while we are playing. We are trying to remember to use our kind hands and kind words. |
| Creative Development
We enjoyed making collage pictures this week, using stickers, bottle tops, lolly sticks and feathers – we hope you liked your child’s creation! We also did some blow painting with runny paint and straws…this was fun!! |
Physical Development
We played parachute games this week which helped with our listening skills and gross motor skills. We also had a fantastic time moving for a good cause doing Zumba for Sport Relief. We also played an upside-down umbrella game where we had to throw balls into an upside down umbrella and then count them…what good aims the children have!!

Welsh Language Development
Tedi Twt set us our first challenge this week. He left some coloured umbrellas in his bag and we needed to match the coloured raindrops to the coloured umbrellas. We all had a go at saying the colours in Welsh – coch (red), glas (blue), melyn (yellow), pinc(pink), gwyn (white), gwyrdd (green). Have a go at practising the welsh colours at home. What is your favourite colour?

Anything else!
Thank you to all of you who met with me this week to discuss your child’s learning in nursery. If you haven’t seen me I will be making time after the sessions to see parents next week. As always, we have an open door policy, so always let me know if you have any questions or queries.
