Today I thought it would be good to get your child moving.  Can you place pieces of paper across the floor, these are going to be your planets, and on them write simple words such as “dog”, “cat”, “pat” and “man”.  Tell your child that they are in a rocket and can only fly to the next planet if they read the word on the one they have landed on by segmenting and blending all of the sounds.  They might look at the word and say “m”, “u”, “g” “mug!”.  When they get to the last planet perhaps they could have a reward?

Good morning nursery,

The sun is shining on this wonderful Wednesday!

Our suggested activities today link to ‘The World’ and could be taken outside in your garden if you would like to.

Enjoy your day, take care.

🌟Once upon a time in a land far away,
The nursery children were sad they couldn’t come and play.
Our team thought and thought for a quite a little while,
And decided on a video to make you all smile.
So here is a message from us to you,
Remember we are proud of all that you do 🌟

Keep Smiling, The Nursery Team 💗

We are segmenting again today by trying to get  Bob and Obb back together again.  To help reunite the aliens the children have to listen to a given word and segment the sounds and then type them.  Each time they spell a word correctly the space ship will move closer.  Do please help your child whenever they need you to for example, if there is a “c”, “k” or “ck” sound, they won’t know which one to type.  Good luck in reuniting the Obb and Bob on phonics play “space race” phase 2 level.

Good morning nursery,

Today’s activity relates to ‘people and communities’. We thought these activities were relevant during this time. I have attached some resources to support the planning.

We hope you are all ok and getting on well, looking through your photos and videos it certainly looks like you are making the most of your time at home, fantastic!

Take care, keep smiling.

Happy Monday!  This week we are we are going to look at how we segment the sounds in words for example you know that “cat” is made of the sounds “c”, “a” and “t”.  In the first activity the children are asked to listen to a word and then segment it (use the pat the arm technique) and then type in those sounds to make the word.  They may need help to find the correct sound on the keyboard if you have one that shows capital letters.  The game is called “rocket rescue” on phonics play (choose phase 2 level) and each time they spell a word correctly they build the rocket until eventually it takes off.  Good luck with rescuing the rocket!

Good morning nursery, welcome to a new week! We hope you all had a lovely weekend. Just a little note to say we are so proud of you all, you are all working so hard.

The topic this week will focus on Geography. The suggested activities for nursery will include ‘Understanding The World’. Today, we are exploring houses and homes! Enjoy :)

Today’s challenge is slightly different.  I would like you to select “flash card speed trial” on phonics play.  You can at this point chose all of phase 2 or select a mixture of sounds that your child does and does not know.  When you start the game your child shouts out the sound (they like that part!) and if they are correct you press the tick if not press the cross.  At the end your child receives a score showing their time to get through all of the letters and how many they got correct.  If you record this at this point you can then revisit this game and explain to your child their challenge e.g. if they got 15 correct last time can they get 16 this time?

It’s funky Friday nursery, it’s also the first day of a new month. We are sending lots of love your way whilst you continue to do such a wonderful job learning from home.

Please find attached the activities for today. We hope you enjoy a little boogie this afternoon.

Friday-1st-May-Activity

Monday will bring a new topic which will focus on ‘Geography’ and understanding the world, exciting!

We hope you have a lovely weekend, keep smiling and stay safe.

Kind regards, the nursery team.

Some of the nursery team are experiencing technical issues currently with the evidence me app.  One possible solution is to ensure that everyone using it at home has agreed to the latest update.  Hopefully, in that way we’ll be able to view and respond to your observations.
