The children have been using the small iPads to take pictures of shape and numerals throughout the playroom. They were able to share with their peers and staff their findings and begin to talk about what shapes and numbers they had took images of.
Technologies 0-04b – I enjoy using a camera to take photographs.
Numeracy 0-02a/0-03a – I explore numerals. (nov planning)
Numeracy 0-16a – I explore shape. (dec planning).
Using the promethean board and the drawing feature on seesaw, the children have created their own people and shape monsters using the drawing and shape tools.
Links to curriculum:
NUM 0-16a – I am creative with 2D shapes and 3D shapes. (planning – Dec).
Technologies 0-03a – I use software to create pictures.
In line with our current literacy planning and October’s UNCRC focus, which surrounds World Mental Health day, we looked at the benefits of using the outdoors, walking and moving our bodies as a method of boosting our mood 😃
We used the promethium board and Google Maps to locate the nursery and trace routes digitally using the board pen to some known places we could walk to opposed to taking the car. 🚙
We explored how to access the internet by identifying the google chrome logo and were introduced to using the keyboard, learning that the letters we typed sent information to the computer 💻

The children have been involved in making their own biscuits, scones and pizzas alongside some of the catering staff. Julie transformed her van into our very own LEYC ice cream van, which was a highlight for the children and staff!!
The children were so excited to have a cinema day on a windy day. The staff handed out some treats to the children before they went and found a seat to watch some movies. The children loved this experience very much.
Following on from some of the children’s interest this summer we have been visiting places in our local environment such as the boating pond, park, train station, shops and community gardens. We have took SIMOA along on our walks to remind us how to keep safe.
Throughout the month of April the children were learning about:
Health and Well-Being – Healthy foods, what foods come from animals and which from plants, life cycles, what plants need to grow and survive.

I can share out a group of objects and can split a whole object into smaller parts.
Literacy and English – I describe an object/picture using suitable vocabulary/ I know the difference between numbers and letters/I explore letter sounds.
