Nursery Newsletter 4.3.11

Dear Parent/Carer,
We hope you had a lovely half term with your children. Our Topic this half term is 'Amazing Animals'. We are starting our new book 'The Tiger who came to tea' this week.

Remember Thursday is World Book Day! Children and staff will be dressing up as characters from children's books. 

This week we are revising Nursery Rhymes we have learnt so far and in our language groups are talking about what happens in the rhyme and what would happen if something changed.

Maths

Our number of the week is number 4. 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. This week the children will be encouraged to count and match quantities in our woodland themed tray. 

Communication and Language  

This week we are continuing to support the children to listen and copy simple rhythms. They will also be encouraged to identify action pictures and expand their use of verbs in sentences.

Malleable

The children have a selection of googly eyes, sticks and feathers available to create their own woodland creatures.

Creative
We are exploring printing this week with a selection of inks and different shaped objects to print with.

Water
This children started to use the pippettes to move water really well last term. It is suprisely tricky to control the tools and they showed determination and concentration.

Snack
We will be having a tea party for the tiger so the children will be making their own sandwiches for the event!
