Although a short week we still had a very busy one! We returned after the holiday to discover that the birds had eaten all our bird cakes!! They must have been very hungry. We had used our identification sheets to tick off the different types of birds that we had spotted in our garden. We would like to make some more bird cakes as we are sure the birds are still hungry.
Some children came in on Wednesday and were keen to make some valentines so they made lovely heart shaped flowers and talked about their families and friends that they loved.
The children have taken their learning towards the topic of shops so it was decided that we would have our own shop in the Nursery. Our AM children wanted a toy shop last week and our PM children decided on a food shop this week so we have incorporated both. We have been developing our numeracy skills by counting and recognising real coins. Some children have been writing their own shopping lists and taking turns at being both the customer and the shopkeeper. We have all been very good at sharing all the resources. We also discussed the different types of shops that we have and what we could buy in these. We continued this theme at the gluing table by making our own bank cads to use in the shop and also price tickets. If you or your child have any ideas that can be taken forward within this topic we would love you to post them on our visible learning wall. You can also extend this learning at home by discussing with your child about the various different types of shops and what products can be bought in them. Also looking at real coins and helping them to read the numbers on them and look at the shapes. If you are out and about at the shops with your child you can also point out the cashier, tills and scanners. We would welcome any photographs or pictures that you might have or take too.
A little reminder that both sessions will visit the library on Monday. We seemed to have misplaced a library book called ” The monster in the woods” We would appreciate it if you wouldn’t mind having a little look at home just in case it has been borrowed by someone. Thank you in advance.
It is the turn of our PM children to share their learning this week.
Kayla” I love playing in the shop.”
Emilie B and Liam” We made a spaceship with the big blocks”
Mark ” I made some good things at the gluing table”
Milena” I like drawing”
Shea” I love to paint pictures”
Lucas” The sand was my favourite”
Jiya” I did lots of jigsaws”
Have a lovely weekend.
The Nursery Team😊
It was lovely to see all the children back in nursery this week.
I was delighted to pop down to give out stickers to children who were fantastic at discussing the real money they were using in the shops! Great skills for life emerging. 🙂
Perhaps some children could visit the ‘wee’ shop next to the school next week? It would also be great if some parents who work in shops could talk to the children about their jobs.
The learning wall looks super! Roma and I will be sure to visit the shops this weekend for a photograph.
