Our learning this week – 16th January 2015

This week Ben and Betty have been teaching us the letter sound “l”. We read the story “What the Ladybird Heard” and used small world figures and Puppet Pals on the iPad to retell the story. The children also thought about ways to stop the robbers stealing the cow.
We had a go at making different lines and writing the letter l in trays of lentils.

We played a ladybird matching game on the interactive whiteboard where we had to count the spots on the ladybird and match it to the number on the leaf.

We also explored how a mirror can make half a ladybird into a whole ladybird.

When it was dry enough to play outside the children had fun exploring the big puddles in our nursery play area. Some children decided to float boats in the puddle and then other children collected other toys to try and float in the puddle. Some floated and other just sunk to the ground…good investigating!

We talked about things we like and don’t like. Children were encouraged to express what things they liked playing in school and what things they don’t like playing in school.

We used the paint easel to paint ladybirds for our Reading Garden in class. We looked at photos of ladybirds before we did this to find out what shape and colour they are.

We used apparatus in the hall to create different lines to move along. We had different level benches, skipping ropes and balance blocks. The children had to think of different ways to move along each of them

With all the awful weather this week, we were able to add two new weather words to our daily welsh board: bwrw eira –snowing and cenllysg – hail

I have attached a nursery timetable as a reminder of our weekly activities. If you have any questions, please ask a member of nursery staff.

Have a good weekend.
