Fantastic Friday!
Welcome back to Fantastic Friday, where we showcase the brilliant work and play taking place in the nursery each week. This week we have been settling back in after our long weekend and have enjoyed playing with all of our friends again. We have been talking about the start of Summer and exploring all the fun things we could do at home and in the nursery in Summertime. We have been talking about our feelings and discussing how we express them and who to talk to in the nursery. We started reading the story ‘The Tiger who came to Tea’ which we will be focusing on next week. This has led to some interesting discussions and beautiful artwork of different foods that we eat, how they are made and where they come from. We have been looking after and observing our caterpillars as they grow and making beautiful butterfly wing symmetrical paintings. We built some excellent bridges, walls and houses in our brick areas and have been playing lots of fun imaginary games such as beach picnics, cooking family meals and working in our home-office. We helped to make delicious cakes for two special birthday snacks and enjoyed celebrating together. We made some animal shapes with playdough, completed lots animal puzzles and we made our own fun pattern drawing game. We enjoyed splashing and experimenting in the water trays and playing with our new sand in the sand tray.
Please keep posting your brilliant pictures of the fun work and play that you do at home to the Learning Journals. We are happy to help if you need assistance with this. We hope you have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you again on Monday!
Primary 2 Week in Review
Hello all! A brief update this week due to the short week!
We took some time to look at where we use capital letters in our writing aside from the start and end of sentences! We created some passports for ourselves to use capital letters with ‘proper nouns’ and specifically the names of places and months!
We are continuing to work with money and ways to make specific amounts. We are thinking of other ways to make up things like fifty pence and trying to remember that we need to use only coins to do this.
We continue our Living Things work by thinking of features of living things (such as movement, growth and needing to breathe) as well as how we categorise them. We had a go a making some birds and mammals using feathers and felt to try and show these different types of living things.
Lastly we braved the playground to see what living things we could find, especially plants. We did find a few insects in our searching and had a good look at the flowers outside the east door before we went home!
Last but not least, the office ladies have been so impressed with Primary 2 this week that we earned a shot at the blocks!
