Nursery: Home Learning Tuesday 12th January 2021

Dear Parents and Carers,

Spring 1; Week 2 Theme: The Tiger Who Came to Tea

Today’s learning includes:

• Watch the Story

• Activity

• Daily Challenge

Our daily activities will reflect the adult led learning that would have taken place in nursery so it is important that your child engages with this learning in addition to child-led play. We will be responding to Evidence Me Parent Shares each week to see how your child is getting on at home.

Watch the Story: The Tiger Who Came to Tea (Channel 4 Catch Up)

Here is the link to watch the story on the Channel 4 website.

Activity

Beat the Clock; led by Mrs Light.

Watch this video with Mrs Light to join in with this physical maths activity.

Extension: Here is the activity plan if you would like to revisit this activity.

Daily Challenge

You will need:

• Paper plate/ card or paper

• Adult help with scissors for the eyes

• Orange and black colouring pens, pencils or paints

• String or lolly stick to finish the mask

• Any other crafts to decorate

We are excited to see your child engaging with the learning!

Tomorrow’s learning

As you know, the tiger will be (virtually) coming to tea on Friday so tomorrow’s activity will be to have your own tea party. This can be done with your usual lunch meal, some music and setting the table or even doing it picnic style with a blanket on the floor! 

If you’re feeling inspired by this week’s story and want something a bit different, how about baking some cakes for your tea party? Here are some recipes: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/kids-cake-recipes

Educational Websites

• NRich (Maths) here

• PE with Joe Wicks (live Mondays-Wednesdays) here

• BBC Number Blocks Episodes here

We understand that home learning is not the norm so take each day as it comes; if you are feeling overwhelmed at this time remember we are here to speak to. One of the best things during this time is to keep your child's usual routine for getting up, meal times and bedtime. Exercise is important for us all so wrapping up warm, getting outside in the fresh air also makes a big difference to our mental health.

The Nursery Team
