The children have been learning about clocks.\u00a0 They have been practicing using an analogue clock and putting the numbers in the correct place.\u00a0 We have spoken about the number paterns – 12 + 6, 3 + 9 and about the numbers going in clockwise order.\u00a0 The children were enthusiastic and keen to learn.<\/p>\n

“3 and 9 are partners”.\u00a0 \u00a0 “1, 2, 3, 4 is next”.\u00a0 \u00a0 “12 goes at the top, then 1”.\u00a0 \u00a0 “12 and 6 are number partners”.<\/p>\n

To extend learning about clocks staff provided clock templates for the children to make up the clock faces.\u00a0 Children made the clocks independently by sticking each number down in the correct place, the children also chose what time they wanted their clock to be and staff supported by modelling the chosen time on a clock for the children to copy.<\/p>\n

“1 O’Clock”.\u00a0 \u00a0 “I’m flying through this”.\u00a0 \u00a0 “5 O’Clock”.<\/p>\n

Children have had the opportunity to take part in story sequencing, retelling the story of ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’, which was our story of the week recently.<\/p>\n

“Then she went into the house and ate all the porridge”.\u00a0 \u00a0 “Saying get out of my house”.\u00a0 \u00a0 “She runs away and never comes back”.<\/p>\n

The children have been using picture boards and whiteboard pens to trace over the lines, practicing their fine motor skills.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

“I was just doing Goldilocks things”.\u00a0 “I was doing some stripes and hulas”.<\/p>\n

The children showed great excitement whilst observing the changing weather outdoors through the big window.\u00a0 Lots of children spent time watching the huge snowflakes fall from the sky.\u00a0 They engaged in conversations about weather and how it changes throughout the day.\u00a0 Children used a Nursery Ipad to scan our “What’s the weather day”? QR code to check the online weather forecast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“It’s snowing”.\u00a0 \u00a0 “It’s all on the floor”.<\/p>\n

The children have been practicing and tracing numbers, allowing opportunities to develop their number recognition and the order of numbers.<\/p>\n

The messy play sensory tray was filled with oats and staff added bowls and spoons to scoop and fill.\u00a0 The children used their imagination and communication skills during play by retelling the story of ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’.<\/p>\n
