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.

The Nursery Team

 
Incy wincy spider climbed up the water spout,

Down came the rain and washed poor Incy out,

Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain,

So Incy wincy spider climbed up the spout again.


Ladybird, ladybird Flyaway home,
Your house is on fire,
Your children have gone,
All except one, his name is Dan,
He crept under the frying pan.
