Dear Parent/Carer,
We are very excited to finally be able to move into our new building on Monday the 8th April. The building looks fantastic and we can't wait to let the children explore their new environment and make lots of fantastic memories in their last term of Nursery. This means the Nursery will be closed to children on Friday 5th April. This is to allow 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.
Our story this week is 'Alan's Big Scary Teeth'. A story of a crocodile who prowls the jungle ready to scare the other animals in the day but who loves nothing better to take a bath and remove his false teeth. That is until his teeth go missing! The children's listening skills and understanding are really improving and they are able to follow stories with more complex plots now. We will be talking about the characters in the story and making some posters to help Alan find his false teeth!
This week we are learning the Nursery rhymes 'Elephant's have wrinkles' and 'Hey Diddle Diddle.'

Maths
Our number of the week is number 6. We will be learning the Ten Town song for the number and the children will have lots of opportunities to develop number recognition and counting skills in all areas of our learning environment. The children have magnetic fishing rods to hunt for the numbered fish in the Tuff Tray this week. They have then been sorting them into the correct bowls.
Communication and Language
This week we are continuing to focus on syllables. These are the large chunks you can break words into which are sometimes referred to as the 'beats' of spoken language. The word cat has one syllable the word purple has two (pur and ple). We will be playing lots of games to support the children to understand this.
We are also encouraging the children to follow conversations and respond back to comments made by other children and adults.

Malleable
We have added cupcakes, gems and sticks to enhance children's baking play.
Creative
The children are completing collages for a Mother's Day gift. They have also been enjoy using chunky felt tips to create their own drawings. We are modelling the correct pencil grip to the children and are encouraging them to add details to their drawings, hopefully you will notice faces have eyes, noses, hair and even eye lashes on occasion now!
Water
The children have hand pumps, soap and sponges to explore different ways of moving water.
Snack
This week we are making jelly in groups. The children will see how the cooking process changes the jelly. They also have a variety of fruit they can cut and add to their jelly cups before the mixture sets.
