Nursery: Home Learning Tuesday 19th January 2021

 

Dear Parents and Carers,

Spring 1; Week 3 Theme: Funny Bones

Today’s learning includes:

• Story

• Activity

• Daily Challenge

Our daily activities will reflect the adult led learning that would have taken place in nursery so it is important that your child engages with this learning in addition to child-led play. We will be responding to Evidence Me Parent Shares each week to see how your child is getting on at home.

Story: Light, with Miss St Louis

Here is the link to watch the story. 

Activity

Shape and Space Maths Activity:

The adult makes a simple construction with a few blocks, pieces of Lego or even household items (ie tinned foods, pillows and cushions, or toys), and challenges the child to copy it with the same pieces or from a selection. Use more different pieces to increase the challenge.

Click here to learn how to encourage mathematical thinking during this activity or how to develop it further, through the NRich Maths website.

Daily Challenge

Scavenger Hunt: This is super fun. Tell your child to find something in their home and bring it back to you. 

For example: Can you find a book? - Spoon - Cup - Penny - Toy 

Tomorrow’s Learning

Further to Mrs Nicolls’ email on Friday, please let us know if your child needs additional support at this time. Please be aware there will be some delay in our responses to Evidence Me Parent Shares this week.

We understand that home learning is not the norm so take each day as it comes; if you are feeling overwhelmed at this time remember we are here to speak to. One of the best things during this time is to keep your child's usual routine for getting up, meal times and bedtime. Exercise is important for us all so wrapping up warm, getting outside in the fresh air also makes a big difference to our mental health.

If you have any questions or would like to get in touch please contact, eyfs@broadford.havering.sch.uk

Kind regards,

The Nursery Team
