Bedtime story Scheme

From this Friday all children will receive books for you to read with them at home. Early reading ignites creativity, sparks curiosity, and stimulates the imagination in young children.Sharing books, stories and rhymes develops skills to support the transition to school.

Books will be sent home every FRIDAY.

Please return all books by WEDNESDAY.

Unfortunately books which are lost or damaged will need to be paid for.


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.

“1,2,3,4,5”


Said Luna counting the leaves and sticks she collected from the garden.



Our focus nursery rhyme next week will be:









Our focus learning

Maths: the children have been focussing on Counting numbers this week through our play. We have played fun number games using spinners and fish cards, taking turns before the shark eats all our fish. We have also been learning to identify numerals 0 to 10  using flash cards and chalk games. The children have practiced counting using their fingers as representation. Some children are now able to use subitizing, which is the ability to recognize a small group of objects without counting.


Teddy asked his teacher to draw hopscotch using chalk like yesterday. He then copied the marks in an attempt to make his own 





“Oh no! The shark ate all my fish! I don’t like losing”

 Said Elyssa when she landed on number 1 and realised it was a shark card.


“I am so lucky, no sharks, only fish” said Lujah after she landed on four, turning her card over to reveal a fish.



Physical: The children have been practicing their coordination outdoors, running, jumping and climbing. Indoors we have been developing our hand muscles by spreading jam on toast, applying pressure using glue sticks to create art work.


 

Communication, language and literacy

This week the children have enjoyed developing their vocabulary and speech whilst using the karaoke machine to sing songs, listening to stories and dressing up to role play with their friends. We have been practicing our literacy skills; describing what we can see in our picture books and developing ideas of what may happen next. The children have enjoyed marking lines and circles using sticks in the sand after listening to the story book: Stanley’s stick.

Moments to remember this week 

Remembrance day

The children have been busy painting poppies to collectively make a nursery wreath for our Broadford school display.  We have been practicing taking turns to listen to our friends, being kind/helpful and continuing to learn how to cope with our emotions when we are upset. 

Remembrance Day will take place on Thursday 11 November 2021, which is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that marked the end of the First World War in 1918. 

 

We are pleased to announce that the yearly poppy appeal boxes have arrived in school and will be coming around to classes as of tomorrow until Remembrance weekend.

Please send donations in with the children in the mornings if you wish for them to purchase Remembrance merchandise. Donations for items are between 50p and £1.50.

Boxes will be coming around with the prefects during morning work time 8:30-9:00am so please ensure your children are in school on time so that they don't miss out.




Bonfire night activities


The children celebrated bonfire night by creating splash artwork with paint and swatters and making smores, using biscuits and marshmallows at the firepit. We learned all about fire safety, but best of all we enjoyed eating our smores outdoors.
