Nursery Newsletter 21.01.19

Dear Parents,

This week our focus story is 'Once upon a Time'. The story introduces us to many of the characters we will meet on our fairy tale journey this half term. The children will have lots of opportunities to read tales with giants, brave princesses, big bad wolves and many exciting plots.

Our Nursery Rhyme to focus on this week is:  Humpty Dumpty and Hey Diddle Diddle 

Maths

We are focusing on counting accurately and in order. The children have wooden logs and people to place on the logs. They will be encouraged to recognise the numbers and make sure they count each person once. 

Communication and Language  

In language groups the children are focus on the question stem 'Who' this week. We are supporting them to answer 'Who' questions using stories and props.

The children are also developing their listening skills by listening to environmental noises - they will take part in sound walks in different areas.

Malleable

This week we are using our senses and have added lavender to our playdough. The children have pine cones, dried oranges, and conkers available to create their own designs.

Creative
Daffodils, Lemon and limes have been added to the table this week alongside lots of different shades of yellow and green.

Dates
Our next Stay and Play is on the 31st January and will focus on Sharing Stories. The morning children will have a session with an author at 10am and the afternoon children at 1.00 pm. We would love to see lots of parents and carers at this event. The children will be able to take home and keep a free storybook from Booktrust.

Here are the words to this weeks Nursery Rhymes so you can practice at home:

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.

Hey, diddle, diddle,

The cat and the fiddle,

The cow jumped over the moon;

The little dog laughed

To see such sport,

And the dish ran away with the spoon.
