Nursery South

Saint Valentine/Chinese New Year

We have come to an end of our topic on Numbers & Shapes, most of the children can now recognise numbers to 5 and basic 2D shapes. We will of course be continuing working on these throughout the school year to ensure we are ready for next year in reception. 

Before our Mid-term break we managed to make our Valentine's cards to give to someone special.....I hope you all received them! This week we have been completing our Chinese dragons to celebrate Chinese New Year, (this has caused a little bit of confusion with the children, from being San Valentin with dragons and unicorns to Christmas!) We have had such a short time to do this that we will be continuing on Monday with our dragon dance around the school.

Next week we will be starting our new topic of Spring and In the Garden, (Mini beasts)  We will be introducing this with the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by By Eric Carle.

Literacy:  we will be continuing with our letter sounds and some children are already beginning to blend! Next week we will be introducing letters n, p, g, o.  

Maths:  we will continue to work with our numbers to 5, then to 10 (and above for our high flyers)

Creative: we will be doing lot's of activities based around our story.

 We found numbers hidden in our garden...Lucas found a little penguin too! 

Let's write our name



 

 

We're going to make a silly soup, a soup that's really silly. We find objects to match the letter in the 'soup'

We made the dragon's head.....

 

And then we made the body!

 

Next week we will be practising our Chinese dragon dance as we continue to celebrate Chinese New Year.

 

Important Reminders:

Please remember to encourage your child to use the letter sound mat that was sent home we are learning to say the sounds in class and also the rhymes. If you would like any further information on the Read Write Inc programme please don't hesitate to ask.

The children are now attempting to write their names. When helping your child at home please remember to use only lower case letters, except for the initial letter of their name. If you repeat the rhyme while doing this it will help your child as we move on through the programme.

 

Have a great weekend,

Miss Jackie
