All About Me!

All About Me!

This week the children have had a lovely time in Nursery. As they are all settling so well in class and beginning to make relationships with new friends.

As we begin our topic we have been looking at differences in each other; in height, hair colour, hand prints, and finger prints. The children are so observant and can already point out differences in each other.
We have also been focusing on class routines, encouraging them to tidy away and care for the toys.

Don't they line up well?

We encourage the children to eat a healthy snack

 we all enjoy the construction area

And some emergent readers

 painting and 'messy' activities continue to be a favourite

 Large mark making using our fingers in the shaving foam

Fine finger and colour matching/naming as we use tongs to put the pom poms into the correct tube, helping to develop those hand muscles ready for holding and controlling their pencil.

 As always the children are encouraged to share the resources and to be kind to each other. They are beginning to sit very nicely on the carpet and are participating in our songs. 
It's so nice to hear the children speaking new words in English and all of them are repeating new words each day.

Next week we will be continuing with our topic of All About Me. We will be dong lots of activities around this, including; painting ourselves, using collage for our faces, talking about our family and who is in it, giving the opportunity to learn family names in English. We will be doing more  lots of listening activities in preparation for learning our letter sounds later in the school year.
We read lot's of stories in Nursery so if your child has any suitable books in English please do send them in , allowing them to share a favourite story with their friends.

Quick reminders:
We have got a few baby photographs of the children but are still waiting for more if you could please send them with your child on Monday. 

Have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing everyone again on Monday,
Miss Jackie
