Nursery Activities Monday 11th May

Good morning nursery,

We hope you all had a fabulous weekend and enjoyed celebrating VE Day. Please send in your photos, we would love to see them.

As today is Monday, we are starting a new theme. This week’s theme will focus on ‘Citizenship’. Nursery will adapt this to include personal, social and emotional development and health and self care. The first activity this morning is to help grown ups lay the table safely!

VE Day Junk Modelling Challenge

As it is VE Day tomorrow, you may like to take part in a JUNK MODELLING CHALLENGE that has been launched by the museum at RAF Cosford. The challenge is to build your very own aircraft, using whatever you can find around your home! In school, pupils from Nursery to Year 6 love junk modelling so I am sure many children would love to have a go at this at home – it would even be a nice project for siblings, or whole families, to work on together! 🛫🛫

The competition deadline is Thursday 14th May. To enter your aircraft, all you need to do is post a photo of your creation in the comments on the competition post, which can be found at ‘The Royal Air Force Museum, Cosford‘ Facebook page. Alternatively, you can share your photo using the tag ‘@rafmuseum‘ on Facebook.

Good Luck!! ☘

Thursday’s phonics challenge

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?

Nursery Activities Thursday 7th May

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.

Numicon Challenge

Good afternoon nursery, I hope you enjoyed our fun Numicon challenge last week using bricks to represent your one piece of Numicon. Today, I have another challenge for you. It is the opposite this time, instead of using your bricks to represent your Numicon, I would like to see how many Numicon pieces you can use to represent one number.

For my example I chose number 6, you can choose a different number if you like. What happens to the pattern when you put the pieces together like I have? How many times can you make the same number? How many pieces did you use?

You may use more than one of the same (if you are able to print them). For example; to represent my number 6, I could use 6 pieces of my number 1 value.

Let us know how you get on, enjoy 😉

Wednesday’s phonics challenge

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?

Nursery Video

🌟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 💗

Value of the Month- May

Thank you for all your support with the value of the month for April, which was Freedom. Throughout April, children learnt about the different aspects of Freedom from rights and responsibilities to freedom of speech.

Our value of the month for May is Perseverance

What is Perseverance?

  • Not giving up even when faced with a problem.
  • Trying your best in all situations.
  • Realising that sometimes we are faced with challenges but trying to overcome these in the best way possible.

Suggestions for parents to work with children at home:

Discuss what the word means. Has your child ever been in a situation where they have demonstrated perseverance? If so, can they tell you strategies of how they didn’t give up?

Discuss with your child situations where people have shown perseverance and have achieved success e.g. family members, individuals with mobility difficulties, athletes etc.

Self-belief- discuss with your child how they feel about their learning and other skills and attributes. Talk about what they could do when faced with a challenge. It’s important that children learn the importance of perseverance even when faced with difficulties.

Here are a few websites which show how individuals have overcome difficulties and demonstrated Perseverance:

Derek Redmond – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZlXWp6vFdE

Steve Jobs – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElVUqv0v1EE&app=desktop

Michael Jordan – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45mMioJ5szc

Tanni Grey-Thompson – http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primaryhistory/famouspeople/tanni_grey_thompson/

The Suffragettes – http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/22766676

Please let your child’s teacher know if we can celebrate any work from home, on our school website.

Feedback on the values and what you do at home is really valuable to us and we really appreciate all your support.
