Dear Parents and Carers, 

This week we will be sharing the story ‘Elmer’ by David McKee.

We have attached web links for documents and files which you can share with your child and/or children at home. 

Phonics 

Please click here for this week’s phonic sounds sessions. We have also added Learning to Blend videos too. 

Learning to Blend

At this stage your child is segmenting the letters ---- c-a-t but then saying another word, e.g sounding out c-a-t and saying the word mat! This is a developmental stage to learning to blend and you may find the additional links in the document useful! 

Links will expire in 7 days.

Money, Money Money!

The children returned to school today to find a shop in our maths area. There was much excitement over the opening of the class shop and the lines for the tills were pretty long! 

We have seen lots of Maths going on, from recognising of numbers on price tags, to developing language related to money and even some adding up of items! The shopkeeper role has proved popular and the children have managed turn taking by using a sand timer to support them. 

Role play also helps to develop children's language and communication skills.  

Max: "That will be 8p please"

Pico: 'I have counted 8 coins"

Mrs Salisbury: "Let's count the coins, Samuel.... one, two, three"

Henry: "Look how many coins I have Miss Mullan"

Aryaan: "Ive got 6 coins"

Ryan: "It costs six pence"

 

Parisa: "We need to open the till"

Sophie: "It is 3p"

Perhaps, you could set up a shop at home and use some real money to buy some food or toys. 

You could also try this great toy shop money game.

Happy Shopping!

Nursery: Home Learning, 25.11.20

 Dear Parents and Carers,

Today is the last day of school closure to children. Children will return tomorrow, 26.11.20, and we will be opening at the usual timings; we look forward to welcoming you all back. 

We continue to encourage parents and carers to wear face masks and to adhere to social distancing. Only one adult should come on site to drop their child to nursery/ school and parents/ carers should leave as soon as their child is dropped off. 

Morning Session Change to Pick Up

As mentioned before the school closed, the morning session children who are picked up at 11:30am will now be leaving the nursery through the main entrance doors where they are dropped off at 8:30am in the morning. This is to make the transition smoother and quicker in the nursery. 

We have more activities for your child whilst at home. These have been shared with you on Evidence Me Parent Share, some of the learning will be embedding what was introduced last week:

-Story: Miss Cumming reads the end of Stick Man Continued with story mapping.

-Nursery Rhyme: Revisit Hickory Dickory Dock with Mrs Chisholm and Mrs Light

-Activity: Revisiting Hopscotch with Mrs Light and Mrs Chisholm - all you will need is a piece of chalk and a stone/ bean bag! Do you remember how to play? Extra challenge: can you hop on your other foot?

-Activity: Get outside! Go on an autumn walk and see what you can find! (Information about the London Loop is attached to this parent share- it is a network of footpaths, fields, parks and trails which loop around London and part of it goes through Havering).
