Nursery Weekly Newsletter 20.10.14

Term: Autumn 1 Date: 20.10.14
We have had a super week, we have been visited by an author and learnt an African Dance (please look on the Facebook page to see all of the photos). We hope we have given your children the opportunity to take part in new experiences and endeavour to continue to do this.
 
This week we will be carrying out many activities including painting, exploring ICT, sorting and categorising and much more. We will be reading ‘Not now Bernard’ and singing ‘Two Little Dickie Birds’ and ‘Three Blind Mice’.

Physical Development
  •  Makes connections between their movement and the marks they make.
  • Beginning to balance blocks to build a small tower.
  • Shows awareness and uses the toilet when they have a bladder or bowel urge.
Mathematics
  • Knows that some things exist, even when out of sight.
  • Says some counting words randomly particularly during counting songs.
  • Beginning to organise and categorise objects, especially when tidying up.
Understanding of the World
  •  Anticipates repeated sounds, sights and actions, e.g when an adult demonstrates an action toy several times.

Expressive Arts and Design

Messages
  •  A big thank you to the parent that returned the missing coat!
  • A quick reminder that your parent consultation will take place this week. This will be a short session to let you know how your child is settling and to give you the opportunity ask any questions.
  • We have had a few small toys go missing that the children have brought in from home. Please don’t allow your child to bring in toys from home. There is no need as you are aware we are extremely well resourced. Toys from home often get lost, broken or cause disagreements.
  • There is no school this Friday 24th, as the staff have an INSET day, and then of course it is half term. We return to school on Monday 3rd November.
  • We regularly update our EYFS blog. Please like our Broadford Primary Facebook page every time you see an EYFS blog. Feel free to make a comment on the children’s experiences.
  • If you wish to contact a member of the EYFS staff please email them at eyfs@broadford.havering.sch.uk
Have a great half term.

Two little dickie birds
Two little dickie birds sitting on a wall
One named Peter, one named Paul
Fly away Peter, fly away Paul
Come back Peter, come back Paul
 
Three blind mice
Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run,
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice?
