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.

Morning!  Today I would like you to extend yesterday’s activity (pick a picture on phonics play) by creating your own words to go with real objects.  Please could you start by collecting some objects with very simple names such as hat, cup, pen, bag (you will only need about 4 or 5).  They need to be words in which each sound can easily be heard.  When you have done this ask your child to write each word on a slip of paper, help them to sound out each letter carefully using the pat and stroke the arm technique.  Once they have created a label for each object can you mix them up and see how quickly they can match them to the objects.

Thank you to everyone who has been sending in videos and photo’s of the challenges they bring a smile to my face!

Good morning nursery,

Starry Eyed Stan

Good morning everyone!

Your phonic challenge today is again to help children blend the letters in a simple word in order to read them.  It’s another great phonics play game, please select the game “pick a picture” at phase 2.  This gives the children a word on the screen and three possible objects.  Please can you help your child blend their sounds by tapping on their arm for each sound and then stroking it to blend them together.  I call this patting and stroking the dog!   It may seem strange but it seems to work.  If there are any unfamiliar letters please go back to Mrs Giodano’s post which shows the children the letter cards.

Have fun!
