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.
Are you ready for the first challenge? I think all of you will find it pretty easy!
Challenge # 1 Can you put your coat on in 30 seconds?
I wonder if any of you did it quicker than that?
Challenge # 2 Take off your coat without the sleeves going inside out!!!!
That’s a tricky one. What will you do if your sleeves go inside out? Do you know how to fix it? Well done!
Learning to be independent is very important. It gives you a good feeling when you can do things for yourself.
Putting on and taking off your coat by yourself is a great skill to have before you start school. Lots of you even know how to hang up your coats. Look for the little hoop and hang it on the hook! And you even know how to zip and button.
Mrs Miller will be so pleased that you can do this all by yourself!
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. Just scroll down the page.
This week’s theme is RAINBOWS!
How could we resist when there are so many to see all around us. Do you have a rainbow picture in your window?
This week why not try to make a rainbow in a different way?
You could make an arc of colours or pile them up to make a rainbow stack.
Mrs Leigh tried to make a rainbow from her washing!
Rainbow washing!
Rainbow pile of ironing!
You could collect stones and colour them with pens or paints if you have them. I wonder how many stones you need to make a rainbow? Have a count once your rainbow is made.
Delicious Rainbows You Can EAT!!!!!!
You could even try to make rainbow food!
Check out these delicious rainbows! They look like one of Miss Murray’s snacks don’t they!
Rainbow kebabs
Yum Yum! Rainbow pizza!
Matching food colours
Cute clouds!
Do you know this song?
Once there was a boy called Joseph. His dad gave him a beautiful coat of many colours. Have a look at this funny song-do you think Joseph’s big brothers like his coat?
Try counting all the colours in Joseph’s coat! There’s a lot!
Here is an EXPERIMENT you can do to make a rainbow.
You’ll need: water, a plate and some Skittles (sweeties!).
Put the skittles all the way around the plate
Take your time to make a beautiful pattern
Next add some water to the plate. Let it cover the skittles a little bit, you might need some help with this bit. Watch very carefully and patiently.
Watch carefully!
What can you see?
Ooooh! Isn’t it beautiful! How do you think that happened?
How are rainbows made? I know you always tell me by sunshine and rain!
Have a look at the weather forecast for this week on your tablet or on mummy’s phone. Do you think you’ll see a real rainbow this week? Which day?
Finally, here is a story about a very colourful elephant called Elmer. Do you remember hearing his story at nursery?
Benny the busy Puppy
Benny is enjoying playing outside in the sunny weather. Are you?
What is he up to today? Why don’t you join in?
Benny has filled his bucket with water. Just like you do at nursery!
Do you think he’ll cover the whole wall?
He LOVES painting!
