Welcome to the January edition of the nursery blog.
The children showed such a great interest in animals during our Autumn context so we decided that, along with the recent snowy and icy weather, it would be a great opportunity to learn all about the Polar Regions and the animals that live in these places.
Through SHANARRI the children have been learning all about being HEALTHY. So far we have focused on different food that is healthy and unhealthy. The children have enjoyed tasting different fruit and making fruit kebabs.
The focus for maths has been on counting on and back using the number line, recognising numbers to 10/20 and using one to one correspondence to give an amount of objects.
The children have been using the iPads, the Smartboard and books to find information all about different animals that live in the Polar Regions. They have been drawing these animals and recalling different facts about them.
They had great fun in the snow! We experimented with coloured water, played on sledges and made snowmen.
We will continue our Polar Regions context for the next few weeks and plan on learning all about the Gruffalo next!
