Nursery Learning Challenge Summer 1

 

Each half term we will be setting our pupils a challenge related to their learning, this is in line with the rest of the school. We believe that it is important for us to provide guidance for parents on how their children's learning can be extended at home.

 

The learning challenge will include either a nursery rhyme, illustration or a piece of music. Please talk to your child about the challenge and help them to engage in their learning. The children can choose how they present their learning challenge outcomes to their teacher or class however the table below details some ideas for the learning challenge.

Character: A pig

Piece of music: Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka

Poem/Song to learn:

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,

All the king's horses and all the king's men,

Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Messages.

Please ensure you have returned your child’s permission slip and voluntary contribution for the trip.  We are also now asking for the  final £1 snack contribution.

 

Please refrain from allowing your children to bring toys into school, unfortunately they get lost, broken or cause arguments.  Also we have a basket of small toys that have come in from home, which will be thrown away by the end of the week.  We will leave the basket out for you to peruse at the beginning of each session.

The Nursery Team

 

This little piggy went to market,

This little piggy stayed at home,

This little piggy had roast beef,

This little piggy had none.

And this little piggy went...

"Wee wee wee" all the way home...
