Nursery Rhymes – Home Link

Our first rhymes for sharing are numbers 27 and 28 we have already noticed that the children are keen to perform Rock –A-Bye-Baby using our doll. We will continue these rhymes for a few weeks as the children become more skilled at reciting them. Just a note to say that Mrs Cumming has made up the props for 5 Currant Buns and they are  now available for you to borrow from our Lending Library.

Have lots of fun reciting your rhymes at home. We would love to hear how well you are doing and look forward to hear what you think of our new rhyme props.

We had a great response to our rhyme workshop and we are delighted by your very kind comments.

Here are a few examples of your feedback.

Sounds a great idea really looking forward to trying out the ideas with my son.

Brilliant idea, welcome area is always informing us with what’s going on.

Fantastic presentation and I got lots of ideas to take home. My daughter will bring in some of her work.

Thanks for very good displays and ideas.

Looking forward to doing the rhymes and songs at home.

Excited to try out the nursery rhymes with my daughter at home using different methods. Got lots of animal figures at home that we can use.

 

Friends Are Special

Friends are special,

Friends are special,

So make a few, make a few.

Smile and say hello,

Everywhere you go,

How are you?

How are you?

 

Rock–a–bye Baby

 

 Rock-a-bye baby,

On the tree top,

When the wind blows,

The cradle will rock;

When the bough breaks,

The baby will fall,

Down will come baby

cradle and all.

 

 

Woodland Explorers

 

Woodland Eplorers

Group 2

On our walk to the site this morning we all looked for circle shapes in our environment.  We found them on lots of objects…….on cars, road signs, wheels and houses.  Today we discovered ways to stay safe when playing in the woods.  We learned about the boundaries – what they looked like and the reason for using them.  We also practised playing safety games e.g. 123 Where Are You? It was also important that we risk assessed the area and placed plastic cones on top of hidden tree stumps.

We had lots of fun exploring the site.  There was a very muddy puddle and we loved jumping in it.  Our boots were really muddy!  We also discovered little buds growing on some of the plants.

We all participated in a woodland workout to help us keep warm……..star jumps, stretches, tree press-ups and running on the spot.  Our hearts were beating really fast when we were finished and we were feeling warm again.  We had lots of fun playing hide-and-seek and found interesting places to hide.

Writing to the Water Company.

After researching information about dams yesterday, the community of Clear Blue Valley received a letter to inform them that the dam is now being built in their community!!

They are writing persuasive letters to the water company (and some important people 😏) to convince them to move their dam somewhere else.

The children are using their notes from yesterday to support their argument.

A Stranger Arrives.

A stranger arrived in Clear Blue Valley very upset. The community helped her but are now worried about the future of their beautiful valley.

Tomorrow they are going to research dams and see how they can use this knowledge to help them.

There were some fantastic questions being asked to our stranger. The community really helped find out her worries and then shared some of their own during “Thought Tracking”.

 

 

A Day in the Life of Clear Blue Valley
