Dear Parents and Carers,
These are the skills we will be focusing on this week:
Mathematics
Begin to recite number names in sequence.
Counting down accurately whilst joining in with our story of the week.
Counting accurately whilst baking by counting how many of each ingredient and how many cakes we need etc.
Physical
We are assesing the childrens upper body movements this week. The muscles children use depend on their stage of development which may range from children using a shoulder pivot, elbow pivot or wrist pivot at this stage. This is so we can plan to develop to support each children in the correct way as they develop their mark making skills.
Mr Portway will be teaching the children how to play simple ball games and kick a ball accurately.
Literacy
Children will be supported to listen to each other in small groups whilst baking this week.
The children will be encouraged to listen carefully to the story and join in with repeated phrases.
Communication and Language
Encouraging children to use simple sentences correctly.
Encouraging children to hold a conversation and respond to comments.
Personal and Social Development
Ensuring children are able to co-operate with routines and some boundaries.
Modelling the correct behaviours in play, ensuring children use resources well and begin to share with other children.
We hope you have all had a restful half term. This week we will be sharing the story 'How many sleeps till my birthday?' by Mark Sperring. The children will be encouraged to listen carefully to the story, join in with repeated phrases and develop their counting skills as the bear counts down to his birthday. The week will be planned to allow the children opportunities to think about the story in greater depth and extend their language. We will be making our own fairy cakes, modelling how to make a card whilst building up to a celebration for our toy bear this Friday.
Thank you for your support with helping children to sign in under their key workers as they arrive at Nursery. As the children learn which place to put their photos they will be able to do this themselves which will make the process less time consuming and mean there will be less congestion at the entrance. Whilst the children learn this you may support them but please make this as quick as possible and move away to allow space for other children to sign in.
