Nursery: Home Learning Activities

 Dear Parents and Carers,

Many of you have chosen not to send your children in this week with the run up to the Chirstmas Holidays. Havering have confirmed that these absenses will be authorised due to the exceptional circumstances. Today we have some activities for your child whilst at home. These will also be shared with you on Evidence Me Parent Share.

Activity: Make a Banana Loaf

Knives do not have to be very sharp to cut through bananas so this is a great way to develop cutting skills. Try and encourage the children to hold with one hand and cut with the other ensuring the knife is the right way round!

You can follow this recipe if you have the ingredients:

• Preheat the oven to 160 C.
• Let the children cut and mash bananas!
• Mix together bananas, 200g caster sugar, 1 egg, 60g melted butter in a bowl.  Add 200g flour (with one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda mixed in). Stir one teaspoon of salt in. 
• Add to a loaf tin and cook for roughly an hour.

Maths Activity: Matching quantity to numeral

Matching quantity to numeral is an important step in children's mathematical development. This is a fun way to check and support accurate counting. This could also be adapted to be played inside using items inside your house. Encourage the children to use their fingers to count the items and check the have the same amount as the number.
