Sing along to this Spring song

The children will be thinking about where living things come from and about what they need to grow. Talk to your child about the signs of spring on plants, can they find buds?
                                                                                                                                       
The children will be looking for and using signs around them to explore direction. Make a map to find your way to nursery, use words like left, right, up down. Count how many footsteps.
The children will be exploring events and characters in the story and using what they have learned to invent their own stories. Encourage your child to draw and describe how they would like to spend a sunny Spring day. 

It’s Fantastic Friday, where we showcase the amazing work taking place in the nursery and at home this week. We enjoyed playing in the sunshine this week; playing lots of games in the garden, having picnics and exploring the woodlands nearby for our Forest Schools trip! We have been doing lots of lovely arts and crafts; making pasta necklaces, blue sunglasses, bubbly bath pictures, colourful spring paintings, cork bees, thank you cards, hats and clovers for St Patrick’s Day, funny selfie photos and elephant faces! We have been continuing to learn and discuss Spring time and looking out for the first signs of Spring around us. We have been focusing on the story ‘5 Minutes Peace’ and discussing who helps us, how we can say thank you and the passing of time. We have played lots of fun games and experimented in our water trays and our sand tray! We have been building amazing structures with our bricks and our loose parts and playing with letters and numbers! We made some lovely spring cupcakes and some yummy veggie meatballs for our snack!

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

Tidy up with The Mission Impossible countdown.

We  will be thinking about the people who help us.                                 Encourage your children to say, ‘thank you’. Talk about who helps them and how to thank them. 

We will talk about the ways we can show our thanks to people.                           Design a thank you card. 

The children will explore the concept of time. They will experience the passing of time by using timers to see how long tasks take.                                          Time your child putting on their shoes.
