Lead, learn, aspire, achieve
Good Morning Boys and Girls. I hope you had a lovely February break and enjoyed spending time with your families. The snow has been great fun and I hope you have managed to get outside and enjoy it.
The ladies and I were wondering what you have been up to on your days off? Why not send some photos of what you have been doing to the nursery email and I can share them with your friends at nursery.

See you soon

Literacy
Ask someone to help you draw a circle (or use a paper plate) then write each letter of the alphabet in the circle. Then ask someone to help you (or you can do it yourself if you feel confident) to cut a small line separating each letter.
Once you have done this, I would like you to take your plate out when you go for a walk or a bike/car ride. As you spot things on your journey, I would like you to fold down the letter that matches what you spotted. Today on my walk I saw a dog, a house, a car, an umbrella (because it was raining so bad) and a tree so I have folded the letters c, d, h, t & u.
I wonder how many things you can spot and how many letters you can fold down? I can’t wait to see. You’ll notice I have drawn a smiley face in between z & a, this is an extra challenge to see if you can make someone smile today and if you do, fold it down 😊
Numeracy
As it’s nearly Valentine’s Day, I thought you could create your very own heart puzzle that will help you recognise that numbers have quantity.
First, see if you can draw a heart shape (or any shape you want) and if you need help, ask someone to help you, then cut the shape out and cut a line down the middle (either a straight line, squiggly line or jaggy line, whatever you want). Then ask an adult or older sibling if you have any to write numbers 1-10 (or higher if you feel you can do it) on one side of your cut out shape and dots/hearts/squares on the other side.
Mix it all up then try to match the number with the number of on the other side of your shape. I can’t wait to see what ideas you come up with to make your very own puzzle 😊

Exercise is good for the body and mind. Below are two links. One is to exercise with Joe Wicks which you will need lots of energy for and will feel wide awake by the end and ready for anything. The other link is to some Yoga which is good exercise but more relaxing and at a slower pace. Maybe some of your grown ups at home would like to join in.

Syllables. Today we will be thinking about syllables and finding out more. A syllable is a part of a word that contains sounds (phonemes) of a word. It usually has a vowel in it.
We will be thinking of syllables as a beat and clapping them out in words. Click on the link below to find out more.

What makes you happy?
Think of a time when you were really, really happy… have you thought about it? Can you draw a picture of it?
Hang it somewhere you will see it everyday, and when you feel sad or are having a tough day, look at your drawing to remind you of a time when you felt happy.
Send a photo of your drawing or create a little video talking about your drawing
