Nursery Newsletter 18.04.16


Term:  Summer 1                          Date 18.04.16

 
The children have had great fun using the pirate resources, the role play gives the children an opportunity to develop social, communication and imaginative skills.

Nursery Learning Challenge Summer 1

 Each 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.

 

Person: A Pirate/Princes of own choice

Painting: Axel Scheffler (illustrator)

Poem/Song to learn:

Row, row, row the boat.

Row, row, row your boat,

Gently down the stream.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Life is but a dream.

When I was one I sucked my thumb

The day I went to sea

I jumped aboard a pirate ship

And the captain said to me…

We’re going this way, that way

Forwards and backwards

Over the Irish Sea

We’re going this way, that way

Forwards and backwards

That’s the life for me


When I was two I buckled my shoe
When I was three I bashed my knee
