Our Learning this Week
Nursery 5th December 2014
| Language, Literacy & Communication
Sparkle the elf arrived in nursery this week and his special mission is to report back to Santa what all the boys and girls are doing. Sparkle the elf has been giving us a few surprises each day as he seems to be getting up to mischief every night, such as making a mess with tissue, building himself a train, drawing pictures, leaving us clues for tasks, etc. Sparkle’s antics have given the children lots of opportunities to talk and share their ideas about what he is doing. |
Mathematical Development
We have been counting lots of Christmas objects and matching then to the right number to complete our Christmas puzzle. We have had a Christmas picture hunt in the classroom, where we match the pictures we find to those on our list and tick them off. We then counted how many pictures we had found. |
| Knowledge and Understanding of the World
We had a lovely day out on our school trip to Poundffald farm. It was a beautiful sunny day which made our chocolate hunt through the Christmas trees lots of fun. We saw lots of animals such as pigs, lambs and reindeer. We kept a lookout for Rudolph but he must have been busy helping Santa. |
Personal and Social Development, Well Being and Cultural Diversity
We have been reminding ourselves to do good listening in the classroom and to be kind to our friends, especially as Sparkle the Elf will be reporting back to Santa! |
| Creative Development
When we discovered Sparkle had drawn a picture of Santa, the children had a go at drawing Sparkle. They looked really hard at the shapes and colours needed for his face and hat. We are doing some great singing for our show and can’t wait for you to come and watch us.

Physical Development
We have been listening to music on Penpals and moving our bodies in straight lines, zig-zag lines and in circles. The children have also been developing their fine motor skills by making paper chains to decorate Santa’s workshop in our classroom. |
| Welsh Language Development
We have been singing “We wish you a Merry Christmas” in welsh for our show and are getting very good at it. We are also trying to remember our Welsh words for check-in – Hapus, Wedi blino and Trist.
