Animals, Wild Animals

Wild Animals

This week was a very short one so has been a very busy few days! We have been busy finishing off our activities for our mini topic on Wild Animals, learning lots of new language and facts about the animals we might find in the jungle or zoo. Using our stories and books the children enjoy joining in with familiar refrains and guessing what might happen next. As always it surprises me to realise just how much our little learners have learned about our environment.
We are also talking about how we can help the environment by not wasting water when we wash our hands and using less paper towels.
 
This week we had another special birthday....

Happy 4th Birthday Maria!

 
 
We ripped paper to make the tiger's stripes


 
Stuck the body pats together and folded the paper legs to make our monkeys
 
 



And then we had elephants

And of course we had some special gifts to make


Next week we will be continuing on our Animal topic but we will be moving on to look at animals we might find on the farm. We will be reading Old MacDonald had a Farm and also We went to visit a Farm One Day. If the children have any photos or books with farm animals it would be lovely for them to share with us during carpet time.
With RWI we are again changing the groups a little as the children naturally progress at different rates and it is important to involve them and keep them all interested.
We also continue with activities helping to recognise numbers and counting objects in class.
 
This week we have also begun practising for our summer show which will be Pirates v's Mermaids. After a lot of trials we have decided on the song for our Nursery dance, this will be Boogie Beebies Ocean Motion and can be found on Youtube. We will be dressing as sea creatures/animals.
 
Finally I hope all our lovely mummies have a wonderful Happy Mother's Day and enjoy spending time with your special little people!
Have a great weekend
 

Miss Jackie
