especially for nursery children moving on to Primary 1.
We’ll be here every Monday to share activities, ideas and challenges to help you get ready for P1.
How good are you at COUNTING?
What’s the biggest number you can count up to? No way! That’s a VERY big number! Let your family hear you COUNT. I bet you make them smile! Some of you can count up to 20!!!!!!
Listen to this song, we sing it at nursery.
Listen to Liam singing the song:
Well done Liam! Why don’t you sing this song and record it on your mum’s phone like Liam? I know that you are all lovely singers!
Learning number skills like COUNTING are very important life skills. Think about it, you count every day! Include your child in counting-as you put the shopping away or as you load the washing machine!
Here is a great counting game that we really LOVE at nursery. What’s the Time Mr Wolf. Count out as you step closer and closer to the wolf! Don’t get eaten!!!!!
Welcome to our weekly nursery blog! It won’t be the same as seeing you in the nursery, but we hope it cheers up your week with some ideas of things you can try at home.
This week’s theme is BABIES!
My best ever pram.
I rolled up my sleeves like my mummy and helped to wash my baby brother. He was very funny-he loved spoons!!!
When I was little I played a lot with my pram and I loved my new baby brother. I know you LOVE babies too!
When I phoned you last week, lots of you were playing babies. I wish I could have seen your babies. Which one is the tiniest? Which one is the sleepiest? Which one is the naughtiest? Which one goes in the pram all the time?
Have you ever carried your baby on your back? Do you remember doing that at nursery with Mrs Paterson? You could even carry your baby to the park! Will you put them on your back or front? I hope your baby’s not too heavy!
Babies on the back.
Two babies in the front!
Hey-good idea to use scarves, towels and jumpers to carry your baby!
Here are some things you could play with your babies.
This week on the 21st of May it will be Outdoor Learning Day. Maybe you could try one of these activities outside on Thursday.
It’s the morning! Wake up! Can you get your baby dressed?
”Welcome everybody. It’s good to see you here, here in this place!”
Play at nurseries or schools with your babies. Sing the Good Morning song to them!
Baby did you get dirty? Time for a bubble bath! Use your basin and fill it with soapy water.
Open wide! Dinner time!
Time to go outside. Where will you take your baby? Pretend you’re off to the shops!
Find your very best book and read to your babies.
Shhh! Bed time. Can you make a cosy wosy bed?
Lovely babies have lovely mummies!
I love you baby!
I think you know babies like milk!
Do you know why we need milk? That’s right, you remembered it has calcium in it to make our teeth and bones strong.
Thank you farmers for looking after the cows that give us milk and for growing the plants to give us plant-based milk!
Snack Time!
Why not try these milk and plant-based milk snacks! See if they make you stronger-can you do more press-ups now?
Strawberry and banana smoothie.
Mix in milk as you make your jelly. Half milk, half water. My Grandma called this Snow!
Creamy porridge with the fruit family! Cute kiwi baby!
Now, here’s a FIZZY Science EXPERIMENT using MILK.
Maybe one day you will be a Scientist and help find cures to make people better!
You’ll need milk, vinegar, baking soda, a small dish and kitchen roll. You don’t need food colouring but if you have some it will add to the fun! Please don’t drink the milk afterwards. Yuch! And remember to help tidy away at the end!
Can you remember when you were a baby?
Look at your baby photos, or even mummy and daddy’s baby photos.
How have you changed? You are now much taller and I hear that some of you are nearly as tall as your big brother and that one of you has new Nike shoes that make you bigger!
Why not measure how tall you are and keep a growth chart?
Measure how tall you are.
Measure your babies and toys too!
If you’ve got an old roll of wallpaper, draw around your whole body!
You could colour your body picture or even add what’s inside your body! Lots of food?
Arrange your babies and toys from the smallest to the tallest.
Look in the mirror! Are you taller today?
Draw around your shadow then you will see how tall you are.
You could even measure the seeds that you’ve been planting.
Baby Animals
Play a baby animals game with your family. Ask them if they know the names of baby animals then get them to ask you. Here is a chart to get you started.
Finally, time for the loveliest story about babies. I like when Bill, the smallest one, says “I want my mummy!’
And how could we resit this song! Get dancing!
Benny the busy Puppy!
Benny has a sore paw!
He wants to play hospitals with his babies and toys.
Oh Rabbit you’ve got sore ears!
Lie down. You’ll feel better soon.
Benny likes being a nurse.
Oh dear! Poor baby! Pretend your baby needs to go to hospital-can you use some real plasters and bandages like Benny?
If you are passing the school this Thursday on your walk, look out for a little present that Benny has painted for each of you. It will be on the wall outside the school and if you live far from Beattock, Benny will try to deliver it to your home.
