Nursery: Home Learning

Dear Parents and Carers,

Many of you have chosen not to send your children in this week with the run up to the Christmas Holidays. Havering have confirmed that these absences will be authorised due to the exceptional circumstances as a bubble closure would mean self-isolating (staying at home without mixing) across Christmas. 

Today we have some activities for your child whilst at home. These will also be shared with you on Evidence Me Parent Share.

Story: Ollie's Christmas Reindeer, read by Mrs Light

Activity: Shopping 

Can you make a shopping centre using resources available? 

You could add labels to your fruit and veg or you could add prices to your cuddly toys and open a toy shop. Try to find how many your customer asks for and check they give you the right amount of coins. 

This does not have to be a very complicated set up, children are very resourceful and will be able to use their imagination. Try and stick to amounts the children can count and if you have real pennies and purses that is an extra bonus! 

Vocabulary to use: How much will it cost ? Two more please? Can I have...? Do you have any...? Can I have.... please? How many are in my shopping basket? I have 3 now, how much does it cost altogether? 

Maths Activity: Hidden Jewels 

Use gems, jewels or golden coins! to create 'hide and reveal’ games that prompt children to subitise or see the number of the group without counting. See the following link to download the maths idea: https://nrich.maths.org/14002?utm_source=primary-map
