Nursery Home Learning Week 9

Good Morning Nursery,

Thank you for continuing to share all of your activities by email and evidence me. We have extended the deadline to send in a dancing video to Saturday 13th June as we would like to include as many children as possible so if you haven't already please send us a short 5 second clip of your child dancing and waving (try and make sure this is landscape). You can send this to eyfs@broadford.havering.sch.uk or post this directly to Evidence Me. Thank you for your patience regarding Nursery starting to re-open. We will have further information to share with you on Monday that will explain the school plans in more detail.

Tales Toolkit Challenge

Story telling is a great way to develop language skills. Have a look at this week's story challenge. You can always adapt these to your child's interests, we are encouraging them to think of stories with a character, a setting, a problem and a solution.

Understanding of the World 

Lots of children have been enjoying  getting outside whether in gardens, in forests or local walks there are lots of ways you can enrich this experience. See if you can find out some facts about birds this week:

Social Skills

This week Victoria looked at the book All About Feelings and Victoria’s mum recommended the book as it is very informative and useful for children to understand their feelings and how to identify and address them. If you would like to have a look at the areas discussed in the book you can watch here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFVBgVKgj-8
