Farm Animals

Farm Animals

We continued our Farm Animal topic this week with lots more activities, recognising and learning their names, recognising the initial letter sounds and lots of counting!
 
Counting the animals then identifying the correct number
 
 
We painted assorted farm animals and then threaded them with laces to improve our fine finger control in preparation for writing
 
 
 
 
 
free painted cows
 
 
 Used the animal feet to print patterns 
 
 
 
Brushed the horses' hair
 
 
 

 
 

 
We used the scissor to very carefully cut out and stick the correct animals for the farm.
 
 
We used the computer to listen to and identify the initial letter sounds of the animals
 
 
Next week we will be moving on to Wild animals. We have already been learning some new songs and enjoying new stories while looking at the animals.
 
It has now been confirmed that we will be participating in our summer show on Friday the 16th June. I will be sending out emails shortly to confirm times and venue. This year's show will be:
 The Gruffalo
By: Julia Donaldson.
Our Nursery children will be performing as Owls. I would recommend that we keep the costumes simple making it easier for the children to move when dancing. If you could provide your child brown/beige leggings or trousers and either brown, beige or other neutral colour top. We will make owl hats and wings in class. We don't want any masks that will hide your child's face from all those cameras. We have started practising our songs and dance in class and they all seem to be naturals!
We will also have a small speaking part to say together. I will send home this part to continue practising at home....good luck. You can find the story of The Gruffalo on youtube and we will be singing The Gruffalo Song along with the other classes.
 
This week's letter sounds will be 'n' and 'p'. you can help your child by identifying objects in your home and listening for the initial letter sounds, e.g pot, sound 'p' or napkin, sound 'n'.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend,
Miss Jackie
