Sing Along

Mrs. Irving and her son have kindly made us a little video of our “Rhyme of the Week”. We hope that you enjoy singing along with them and remember to do the actions too please. Have fun boys and girls!

 

From Alfie To Grandma

Alfie from the Raindrop Room has sent us a wonderful picture of his work that he has sent to his Grandma. His family said,

“Grandma lives a long way away. So we sent her her very own Alfie. We drew round Alfie which he found very ticklish then Alfie painted himself complete with glasses & crazy hair! Grandma can now wrap Alfie’s arms around her whenever she needs a cuddle.”

They also wrote a lovely poem for his Grandma which you can see attached to his picture. What a thoughtful gift for your Grandma, Alfie. We think that you will have made her very happy indeed. Thank you so much for sharing your super work with us. It’s lovely for everyone to see what you have been doing at home.

Kyla’s Super Work

We are delighted to share some super work that Kyla has been doing at home with her family. As you can see, she has produced some fantastic writing with drawings to illustrate her work and has also sent us her oil pastel of a rainbow toucan. Kyla’s brother has been learning about the rainforest and he wanted to draw a toucan so she joined in.
Well done for your super work Kyla! We are very impressed. Thank you so much for sending us it. Kyla’s family say that she is missing everyone just as we are missing all the children but it is great to see the super activities that you are doing at home.

 

 

Food Fun

In Nursery we often talk about healthy and unhealthy foods as we prepare snack together and the children are developing an understanding of the difference between them. They have talked about some foods being good to eat lots and some less often. Most have grown in confidence to try different foods as the year has progressed and fruit and vegetables, for example, are a regular part of their snack time each day.

As a fun game, get the children to look at a range of foods in their kitchen and see if they can sort them into healthy and unhealthy foods. They could then sort fruit and vegetables (fresh and tinned) into those they like and those they do not like.

In the past we have looked at the work of artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo who created faces out of food in his work. It’s always great fun to try this with the children using foods, or anything else you have available, to create a face. Maybe you could create one from things you find outdoors? We would love it if you sent us photos of your work via the school office at

We would like to share this Sticky Kids video about eating fruit and vegetables for the children to sing and dance along to as they play. Sticky Kids is very popular in Nursery so the children will no doubt love to join in. Refresh our page to see the video again.

Incey Wincey Spider

Mrs. Irving and her son have kindly recorded “Incey Wincey Spider” for us all. We hope that everyone can see the video and that you enjoy singing along with them. We are very lucky to have our own little band and hope that it helps you learn the “Rhyme of the Week”.

Rhyme Of The Week

For “Rhyme of the Week” this week we suggest that you focus on “Incey Wincey Spider”. Click on the link below to remind yourselves of it and try to show your family the actions to go along with it.

You could make your own spider at home – do a drawing or use things like junk packaging or wool to create your own little (or big) spider. I wonder how many legs you will need to add to your spider?
