Spring Activities Inspiration


Good morning everyone!
At nursery, we know how much you love learning about spring and what happens to various creatures at this time of year.
I have attracted a spring home learning booklet to give the grown ups some ideas about the kind of things you could be doing at home. You can view it by clicking on the link below.

Happy weekend boys and girls! 😊

Number Walk

Hello everyone!
The next time you are out on a walk, make sure you are on the lookout for numbers.  There are numbers everywhere! I bet you will be able to spot lots of them!
Here are a few ideas to incorporate number concepts into a walk in the local area:

  1.  Look for specific numbers on houses eg. Can you see number 4?
  2. Say hello to three neighbours.  Or estimate, then count the people you meet.
  3. Look for two blue cars.
  4. Count cracks in the pavements.
  5. Say numbers on houses.
  6. Make up cards of nature things to look for in your area.  Such as three leaves.
  7. Count the cars in each driveway.
  8. Look for bus numbers.
  9. Say the numbers on registration plates. Or look for a special number.
  10. Count windows on the front of houses.
  11. Count the number of stairs on the front porch of each house.
  12. Which house has the most flowers, cars, etc.?  Which house has the least?
  13. Which house is the smallest on the street (or between two houses)?  Which house is the biggest?
  14. Sing number songs while walking along

15. If you are going to the shops, look out for special deals eg. £1. See if you can count how many objects are in your basket, etc.

Most importantly, have fun! 😊

 

 

Nature in Ice


Good morning everyone!
Here is another little idea that you can try at home. The next time you’re going on a walk with your grown up, take a carrier bag with you and see if you can collect some different items, like wild flowers, twigs, pine cones small stones and anything else that you think is interesting.
Take them home and get a grown up to help you to put them into ice cube trays, or just Tupperware dishes. Pop them in the freezer and leave until frozen solid.  Once they are frozen, empty them out into a basin and have fun exploring! See if you can guess how long it will take to melt completely. Using warm water and/or salt will speed up the melting process.
Have fun! ☺️

Spring Scavenger Hunt

Hello everyone!

I hope you’ve managed to enjoy some restful time at home together over the Easter holidays.

I know how much you guys love to play “I spy…” so I have found a Spring Scavenging hunt for you to do next time you are out on a walk. If you are lucky enough to have a garden, you might be able to spot some of these things there too.

Grown ups…. The link is below if you want to print it out, or you can just take a photo on your phone.

Happy Hunting guys! ☺️

Reading Bingo

Hello boys and girls,

We know how much you all love reading! We normally read at least two stories a week at nursery and we know how many of you enjoy listening to stories at home too.
I have attached a little reading bingo challenge for you to try. Each time you listen to a story, you put a cross in the box. The aim of the game is to try to get one line, two lines and then if you’re a super star reader, you might get a full house!
Have fun, and happy holidays!

PE with Joe

Hello boys and girls!

Moving our bodies and keeping healthy is something that is very important. We love running around in the Nursery Garden and also using the gym hall.
The health and fitness expert, Joe Wicks has decided to put up a video on his Youtube channel everyday that you can join in with at home. Some of it might be a but tricky for Nursery boys and girls, but you could always get older brothers and sisters, Mums and Dads (and everyone else in between) to help you!

Good luck! 😊
