Our Learning this Week
Nursery 21st November 2014
| Language, Literacy & Communication
Ben and Betty have been teaching us the letter sound “i” this week. We talked about needing invitations to invite someone to a party and the children then made invitations to give to you for our Christmas show on December 12th. I hope you will be able to come and watch.

Mathematical Development
We ordered numbers from 1 to 10 to make an insect picture. We also counted the insects on the card and put a peg on the correct number. We also looked at shapes and collected leaves outdoors and made triangles, squares, circles and rectangles with them.
|
| Knowledge and Understanding of the World While we were collecting leaves outdoors we talked about why some leaves were still on the trees and some were on the ground. We compared the colours of different leaves as we were collecting them for our maths activity. |
Personal and Social Development, Well Being and Cultural Diversity
We have been trying to remember to say please and thank-you when we are class and have praised children who have remembered. Diawn! |
| Creative Development
We have started practising our Christmas songs this week and we learnt the movements we need to go with the music. |
Physical Development
On Move-It Monday we watched some Indian dancing and then had a go at doing the moves ourselves. It was lots of fun! We also practised our fine motor skills by trying to rescue the insects that were hidden in the lentils using tweezers. |
| Welsh Language Development
We played a circle game called “Beth sy’ yn y bocs?” (What is in the box?) We sang the rhyme as we passed the box around the circle and the children had to pick an animal out of the box. We practised the animal names in welsh.

Anything else!
Thank you all for making appointments to see me for parents meetings. Don’t forget to bring in your child’s costume for the Christmas concert. If you need any help with a costume, don’t forget to come and see us.
Have a good weekend. |
