    Two Little Dicky Birds

Two little dicky birds sitting on a wall.

One named Peter, the other named Paul.

Fly away Peter, fly away Paul.

Come back Peter, come back Paul.

Week beginning 10/05/21 

 The story this week’s learning in the nursery will be based around is:

                      “The tiger who came to tea” by Judith Kerr

                                                                              Cosmic Yoga in the jungle

                                                                           Sing along with the cheetah.

The children will explore patterns in their environment.                                                          Can you and your child find stripes and spots when you are out?

The children will talk about the food Sophie and the tiger ate.                                                 Discuss with your child what food is healthy for them, Can they draw their favourite breakfast?

The children will think about the different people that came to the door. How many people visited, can your child describe the jobs they did?

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!

Baa,Baa Black Sheep
Baa, baa black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.
One for the master, one for the dame
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
Thank you said the master. Thank you said the dame.
And thank you said the little boy who lives down the lane.
