Enjoy, The Nursery Team

Good morning nursery

We hope you enjoyed our ‘Art’ themed activities last week, we received some fabulous photos, thank you.

This week’s theme will now focus on ‘Music’. Music can be simple and can be enjoyed by all, nursery love using instruments to make simple sounds and tap out beats.

We would like you to enjoy music in lots of ways using lots of resources if you can. The activity today uses pots and pans! Have a little look below.

Monday-27th-April-Activity

Enjoy your day,take care.

On a Friday we usually go over the phonics we have learnt that week and play a few games.  One of the games that has always proved popular is bingo.  This particular version is available on twinkle (this is a free website at the moment) and the game you are looking for is called “cvc bingo matching card game”.  Again, use the phase 2 level as this is most appropriate.  However, this only works with a printer.  You could instead though make your own version with your child, they could draw the pictures and write the letters.  You would need to make two boards (if you’re not sure how they should look just google the game even if you’re not going to print it).  The words include net, man, dog, tap and so on.

Have fun!

Happy Friday nursery, we hope you are all safe and well.

You are all doing a fantastic job at home, keep smiling :)

Here are the suggested activities for today, we hope you have a nice weekend and enjoy the sunshine at home.

Friday 24th-April-Activity

Numicon:

Numicon is a teaching aid consisting of plastic tiles with holes which represent the numbers 1 to 10. They can be used to teach place value, ordering and calculation. Numicon are designed to make numbers real for children by them being able to see and physically touch each number.

Each Numicon shape provides children with a visual image of what a number looks like. A child will start to recognise the relationship between different numbers, as each Numicon piece has an extra hole to the last one.

As you may not have access to actual Numicon resources, I have attached a copy you can use as a paper template to print and cut them out. Once you get the hang of Numicon, you can make an activity as simple or as challenging as you wish.

So for our first challenge, we would simply like you to have a little play with them. We use Numicon in nursery already so your child may surprise you!

Next week I will be posting some ‘Numicon Challenge’ activities to support you.
