Nursery Learning Challenge Spring 2Each half term we will be setting our pupils a challenge related to their learning, this is in line with the rest of the school. We believe that it is important for us to provide guidance for parents on how their children's learning can be extended at home.
The learning challenge will include either a nursery rhyme, illustration or a piece of music. Please talk to your child about the challenge and help them to engage in their learning. The children can choose how they present their learning challenge outcomes to their teacher or class however the table below details some ideas for the learning challenge.
Poem/Song to learn: Grey Squirrel
Grey squirrel, Grey squirrel!

Swish your bushy tail!

Grey squirrel, Grey squirrel!
Swish your bushy tail!
Put an nut between your toes

Wrinkle up your little nose!
(poke your nose)
Grey squirrel, Grey squirrel!
Swish your bushy tail!

Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
one a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns!
This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
And this little piggy cried wee wee wee all the way home
