Brown Bear Brown Bear

We have had so much fun this week reading our story of Brown Bear Brown Bear. We have been decorating and looking at the colours of all the animals and the children love retelling the story over again repeating all the familiar refrains and being able to name the characters before we turn the page!

We are learning all about colour and using different media to decorate the animals from painting, cutting and sticking and using lots of language describing and naming them.

You can find the book on Youtube, by Eric Carle. Please read this with your child, encouraging him/her to recite the story along with you.

 

 

 

We used the number tiles on patio to sequence and name the numbers....and to jump onto the correct tile. 

 

 

We are learning to hold the pencil correctly and to trace the letters of our name.

 

Thank you so much to the parents who sent in some more photos of our Halloween dance. Don't they all look fantastic?

 

Next week we will be finishing off on our topic of colour with our Brown Bear book.  We will be practising mark making using our fingers and pencils to write in sand, helping to develop  our muscles to enable us to write in the future.

We continue to work with our numbers throughout the year, reinforcing sequencing and number recognition. We will also be following pattern using coloured beads on string.

This week for P:E the children participated in our yoga class and really enjoyed it, being able to follow instructions to complete it successfully.

We will also be practising for our Christmas show...yes it's that time already!

This year the nursery class will be performing as STARS in our play, I will be sending out letters next week with examples of costumes to be worn and final details of where and when we will be performing.

 

Important reminders:

Can I please ask that parents put their child's name on everything they bring to school, including water bottles and snack boxes as it is sometimes difficult for the children to identify their belongings.

We ask that if the children have grapes for snack to please cut them length wise to prevent them being a choking hazard.

Also please be aware that the school has a 'Breakfast Club' situated in the dining room. If you are short of time in the morning your child is welcome to take advantage of this service until 8.30am when Nursery patio will be staffed until school registration at 8.45am. It is important that the children are present in class for 8.45am which is when we have our register and morning routines where the children get so much input in English and learn what we are going to be doing in class each day.

 

Thank you for your continued support,

Have a great weekend

Miss Jackie
