Nursery Newsletter 03.05.16


Term:  Summer 1                          Date 03.05.16

The stay and play was a great success thank you to all who were involved.  Furthermore the Parent Gym went well and we had a great turn out for that too.

This week is only a two day week for the children.  We will be reading the Rainbow Fish

and we will be singing ‘Tap sticks high’ Tumble Tots and ‘I’m a pirate’.

We will continue to recap our previous phonemes, therefore this week we will be recapping  g and focusing on our counting 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/Princess 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.
