Firstly, thank you all for sending back the feedback sheets, we are working through them and getting great ideas for our planning.

We’ve celebrated World Book Day this week by listening to stories and rhymes, acting out our own stories and “reading” to each other.

Maisie read a familiar story about preparing to blast off in a rocket. She read it to Lewis and Micah and used picture cues to help her tell the story.

Stanley spent time looking at a shapes book and then enhanced the story by making a 3D train by finding the correct shaped blocks.

Emily Robertson has been warmly welcomed to the team at the end of the week. She has been a popular story reader! Freya helped her read the favourite rocket book this week while Joanna and Maggie listened.

 

Henry and Sophia created their own story at the playpark. Henry- “I’ll drive the car so we can get there.” Sophia- “yes go that way.” Henry -“We need to get to the shop”. Sophia- “I buy things for my baby” Sophia.

Micah also created her own story about an exciting ferry journey! The people in the cars were going to Lerwick. What was going to happen there? “Some magic”.

Micah, Freddie, Max, Emmie and Henry told each other stories about “going to school” and took turns at being “the teacher”. They went on lots of adventures together! Telling stories and using mark making as part of stories is an important Literacy skill to develop.

 

Story telling continued outside too. Lucas “wrote” a story using water and Joanna read out what ingredients they were going to need to make their cakes.

And Freya and Jackson acted out parts of The three Billy Goats Gruff by trip trapping over the big high bridge!

This week we welcomed three children to nursery! Alfie, Lucas and Sophie. They all drew lovely pictures during the first week.

We also celebrated a 5th birthday. Before snack time Joanna and her friends made playdough cakes with different numbers and then we had real cupcakes for a birthday snack.

 

And finally Happy Birthday to Maggie on Sunday!
