This is the last week of nursery before the Easter holiday. Nursery closes on Friday 4th April and re-opens on Tuesday 22nd April.
We hope you all have a lovely break.
Letter Spotting
This term we have been learning about alliteration. We have been noticing the initial sound in our names and finding items beginning with the same sound. This holiday why not see if your child can find the initial letter in their name in the environment. It could be on a road sign, car registration, street sign, anywhere. Please take a photograph and email to us.
It would be great to create a display of the whole alphabet using the children’s photographs.
My Favourite Songs
Our curriculum focus this term has been Expressive Arts and Design. We have been exploring and creating with paint, colour, music, movement and drama. We learned about some different styles of music and dancing from around the world. Why not watch here and try out some moves together.
Lots of you have shared your child’s favourite songs and the types of music listened to at home. We have compiled an Oak room play list and the children are enjoying dancing and singing along. They are very excited when their tune comes on, shouting ‘This one’s mine!’
There is still time to share your child’s musical preferences.
Shapes Everywhere
We are continuing to learn a different shape each week. We have focused on triangles, circles, squares and rectangles, and this week it’s ovals. The children have been excited to spot shapes in the nursery environment and garden.
What shapes can you find this holiday? Please take a photo with your child spotting a shape and email to us. There will probably be lots of oval Easter eggs!
Growth and Change
Next term our curriculum focus is Understanding the World. We will be learning about growth and change and talking about how plants, animals and people change over time. To help us in our discussions, please forward a baby photo of your child. It has been lovely to see the photos that have already been sent in.
I wonder if the children will be able to recognise the staff from their baby pictures.
Please email photos and music choices to [email protected].
