We had so much fun playing the capital letters corners game. We had to listen and watch for one of the capital letters and then run to the board where that letter was. It was such fun that some of us played the game 3 or 4 times. Learning about letters is great fun in nursery.
The nursery boys and girls have been hard at work AGAIN this week! As part of our numeracy studies, we have been looking at how we can make marks to represent numbers. Given that we were so creative when making playdough numbers last week, we decided to see if we could use pens to make number marks this week.
Great work boys and girls!
This week in literacy we have been finding out that sound have a matching capital letter. It is tricky to know which go together because sometimes they look quite different. We used our letter paddles to check which go together and then we glued the letter and capitals pairs together.
As part of our theme, Festivals, we have been learning all about the special day for Scotland’s Patron saint, St Andrew. We explored all things scottish including making soltaires(our national flag), creating our own tartans, listening and dancing to scottish music, singing scottish songs, doing role play in our scottish castle and tasting haggis, neeps and tatties.
The afternoon children thoroughly enjoyed their haggis, neeps and tatties as well! What a great St Andrew’s Day celebration!
We have been learning all about different festivals recently. As part of our St Andrew’s Day studies, we have been creating Scotland flags.
We have also been very busy with our numeracy work. This week, we learned how to continue and create patterns.
We had great fun playing our sounds game to day. We had to watch for the letter paddle to find out which corner we had to run to. We were really good at spotting the sound but we were exhausted by the end of the game!
We have been learning all about Diwali in the nursery. We have had the chance to eat some tasty food like poppadums, curry sauce and naan bread. Yum yum!
In Maths, we continue to look at different ways in which we can make marks to represent numbers. We are working very hard!
We are learning how to make marks to represent numbers in the nursery at the moment. Yesterday, we played a game where we had to throw a ball into a bucket.
We made a mark on our whiteboards every time that we managed to do this. This girl was VERY good at this game!
At the end, we counted our marks to see how many goals we all scored. Well done everyone!
We were using the SMART board to play a great counting game. We were very careful when we were counting and we got it right loads of times.
We have been fun learning to match letters which are the same when we have been playing letter snap.
