Nursery South

Numbers and Shapes

We have been continuing our topic on Numbers and Shapes.the children have been exploring our environment looking for shapes and are becoming very good at it. We've been singing shape rhymes and painting the shapes independently. 

We have been going back to basic with our numbers as a few of the children have forgotten their numbers with all the excitement of their Christmas holidays.

Painting shapes

We used cotton buds to make the shapes on card

I can make a diamond!

Cut and stick shape/Scissor skills

Working together

In this school we are following the Read Write Inc programme for literacy and is usually implemented in our last term before reception. A new programme has now come out aimed for Nursery Children. We have bought into this and expect delivery very soon. Meanwhile  we have been doing lots of listening games and have started introducing our letter sounds, this week we have introduced the letter 'm' as Maisie Mountain Mountain. We have been looking at lots of things beginning with this sound in class.

I will send home more information as soon as we receive it and I will send home our letter sounds with relevant rhymes this week.

Important Reminders: 

We have been working on our self help skills and children are practising putting on and fastening their buttons independently, you can help your child at home by encouraging them to put on and take off their own clothes by themselves.

Each morning the children will be finding their own name and placing it on the board for self registration, please encourage your child to do this upon entering the class.

Have a great weekend
