Nursery Home Learning Week 13

Good Morning Nursery,

Normally the last few weeks would be a chance the celebrate all our success' and have lots of fun together. Unfortunately we can't gather right now but we have found some ways in which we can still complete some of these celebrations in our own homes!

Now is also the time to start thinking about transition. This week you will receive an email of a report on Wednesday 8th July that is based on the children's progress and attainment in March. On Friday 10th July next years classes for Reception will be released. We will be sharing lots of videos of the Reception teachers reading stories and know they have already contacted parent's with information about next year. Talk to your child about this and make sure to show them all of the photos//videos available to support them to move to their next year group. Teachers of your new class will also be calling parents in the last week of term to introduce themselves and answer any questions you still have.

Sports Week
With a few household items you’ll be all be able to take part, wherever you are. We’ve chosen activities that don’t require lots of space or fancy equipment, and don’t involve contact between children. But you are welcome to change the activities to suit your situation, the only thing that matters is that you get active and have fun.

Name	Activity 1: Sprints
Equipment	Two markers: can be literally anything.
Description	Create a track by laying markers at the start and end. You can make the track as small or large as you like. Each contestant has 60 seconds to run as many lengths (there and back) of the track as they can.
Scoring	1 point is awarded for each full length (there and back)

Name	Activity 2: Standing Long Jump
Equipment	One marker A tape measure
Description	Place a marker on the floor with empty space in-front of it. The contestant stands level with the marker and jumps forward. They should take-off and land on two feet. If they fall over when they land, they take their turn again until they land on two feet.
Scoring	1 point is awarded for each 10cm jumped. Use the tape measure to measure from the marker to the back of the contestant’s foot (the nearest part of the foot to the marker).

Your story challenge this week also has a pirate theme!
