Today I thought it would be fun to play the following game.  Set up some planets on the floor (pieces of paper or cushions) and explain that your child is going to be a rocket.  They fly to the next planet if they tell you the sounds in the object you are holding up.  If you held up a mug they would shout “m”, “u”, “g”.  By telling you the sounds they travel to the next planet where you could hold up a pen, hat, doll, bag and so on.  When they reach the last planet they could perhaps have a reward?

Good morning nursery,

The suggested activities for today will be the last in this format for this week as tomorrow is our bank holiday for VE Day. You can find activities for VE day on our nursery news page.

The activities today are using the environment to make your own woodland. We are also looking at the life cycle of a plant. The sun is shining again for us so we are able to take part in these outside in our gardens if we can.

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.

🌟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.
