Nursery Newsletter 1.4.19

Dear Parent/Carer,

We hope you all had a lovely Mother's day weekend and were able to spend some quality time with your children. This week is finally moving week! Please excuse any interruption to normal routines this week, furniture and resources will need to be gradually moved. We have lots of fun activities planned around this to minimise any disruption to children and plan to carry on as normal as much as possible.  We can't wait to let the children explore their lovely new classroom the following week.
 The Nursery will be closed on Friday 5th April to enable staff to safely move and position furniture and create a great environment for the children to come into on Monday. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you to parents who were able source some materials for  our upcycling projects, we have had lots of donations!  We are still looking for:

  • Wooden cable reels
  • Clean cot mattress
  • Any unwanted wooden ornaments (e.g. animals figures etc.)

Maths
This week we are consolidating numbers previously taught and playing Maths bingo. The children will be encouraged to count small quantities together and match this to the numbers they have learnt. Please continue to support your children to count objects and spot shapes and numbers around you.


Communication and Language 
We will be using the outside environment this week and listening carefully to the sounds we can hear. The children will be encouraged to find natural objects that can make a sound together, e.g. 2 sticks to clank together or a handful of leaves to rub together. We will listen to each others sounds in small groups and try and play along to some group tunes. 

Knowledge of the World
We are sharing stories about mini beasts this week including The Very Busy Spider. After talking about the minibeasts and looking at evidence to check where we might find them the children will go on their own minibeast hunts in small groups. They will be encouraged to look closely at creatures and talk about similarities and differences.
