Nursery Newsletter 15.10.18

Term: Autumn 1                      Date: 14.10.18 Dear Parents, The children enjoyed creating Pumpkin Geoboards last week. They had to stretch loom bands over the nails in the pumpkins to create their own patterns and shapes. This supported the children to develop Maths skills, Communication and Language skills and they had to use fine motor control to stretch the small bands over the pins.We are continuing to explore pumpkins this week and our story of the week is an Indian traditional tale called "NO DINNER! The story of the old woman and the pumpkin." The core Nursery Rhymes we are focusing on this week are: 'Incy Wincy Spider.' and 'One, two, three, four, five, once a caught a fish alive'.

Please bring in a change of clothes in a small, clearly named bag that can stay in school. Thank you to the parents/carers who have already brought these in. The children can also bring in a family photo to add to our home corner display, this can be printed or emailed to: eyfs@broadford.havering.sch.uk.Understanding of the World  The children will be able to scoop the insides from pumpkins and collect the seeds. They will help to create delicious pumpkin soup to taste and make their own bread roll! The children will be having Autumn walks and looking at the trees just outside the school to spot the signs of Autumn and collect leaves for us to sort. MathsThe children will have pompoms available that we will encourage them to sort and count to ensure they use number names in order and develop one to one correspondence (which means counting each object accurately.)
Communication and Language  The children will be encouraged to join in with re-telling our story of the week and use actions to help them to remember the core Nursery rhymes. Whilst cooking our pumpkin soup and bread the children will be encouraged to talk about what they are doing and what they notice happening. Mark making/Expressive arts and Design  The children will have the rolling paints available to mark make, create their own designs and develop wrist control.Key Dates 18th October - Individual photos - Photos with siblings can also be taken in the morning.   Half Term - 22nd October to the 27th October - The school will be closed this week. 2nd November - Learning Federation Fireworks Evening 27th November - Healthy Eating Stay and Learn session.
