Two year old focus

This week we have been learning about our emotions; happy, sad and angry. We have been developing our positive sense of self and how to wait and take turns. We have been learning new words to help extend our play.

“Ngenge, ready your chicken”


Said Akela to his teacher after asking for help with his apron.


Our focus nursery rhyme after half term will be:









 

Our focus learning

Maths: the children have been focussing on shapes this week through thor play. We have played fun shape games with dice and our peers, taking turns. We have also been learning to identify 2D shapes based on sight and name. We have also been practicing our number recognition from 0 to 10 during circle time.


“I found square” said Damien

“Look its a rhombus”

Said Emma


Zhyan said 

“Look I found a hexagon, 2 hexagons and one circle”

As he threaded shapes onto his string.

“We found all the shapes”

Said Ava-rose.


Physical: The children have been practicing gross motor movements outdoors balancing on boards and crawling through tunnels. Indoors we have been developing our hand muscles by spreading jam on toast, marking making and applying pressure to use the hole punchers.


 

Black history Month 

The children enjoyed taking part in our black history carnival parade. We congo style danced around the nursery to Trinidadian soca, played on steel pans. The children learnt about the steel pan and used sticks and similar shaped bowls to recreate the steel pan sounds. We watched a video of children wearing costumes from Notting Hill carnival. 

We all had a fun time

Our social skills 

We have been working together with our peers to construct during play; taking turns, listening to others ideas whilst having so much fun.
