Nursery Newsletter 28.1.2019

Dear Parents,

We have an exciting week ahead with Stay and Play sessions this Thursday and Number Day on Friday. The Stay and Play session will start at 10pm for morning children and 1pm for afternoon children. 
 Cate Douglas the author of the story 'Poppy's Tails' will be sharing her story with the children at the end of sessions. This session is completely free of cost to the school and yourselves. Cate will be available with signed copies of her book after the session for any parent's/carers who would like to purchase her story. We look forward to seeing lots of parents, remember if working parents are unable to attend we are happy to welcome other family members.


Our Nursery Rhymes to focus on this week is:  Hickory Dickory Dock and Jack and Jill. 

Maths
Our number of the week is 0. We will be learning the Ten Town song for the number and the children will have lots of opportunities to develop number recognition and counting skills in all areas of our learning environment. Don't forget Friday is Number Day! We look forward to seeing all of your costumes and having a fun mathematical day. 

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. The context for developing this skill will be family members and rooms/furniture in houses. You can support your child by ensuring they can name different rooms of the house and furniture and if you haven't already sending in your family photo. This can be emailed to eyfs@broadford.havering.sch.uk or given to any member of staff.
The children are also developing their listening skills by listening to environmental noises, we are listening to sounds and using our memory to recall sequences.

Malleable
The children have glass pebbles, buttons and rolling pins available for them to create their own gingerbread men.

Creative
We are continuing to develop our painting skills this week and have added more colours to the area. The children have enjoyed experimenting with watercolor and are learning how much water they need to create a successful picture!

Snack
Our Story this week is 'The Magic Porridge Pot'. Later on in the week the children will make their own porridge and add various fruits for toppings.

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


Hickory, dickory, dock,

The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory, dickory, dock




Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

Up Jack got, and home did trot,
As fast as he could caper,
He went to bed to mend his head,
With vinegar and brown paper
