We have attached a new learning overview. Note our new topic is Birds. If your child or yourself wants to comment on this topic feel free to add your ideas to our Great Ideas Book. outline of children’s learning 21.1.18

For your information, as promised, we have created a simple summary of some of the things we do in nursery to help develop literacy skills. You will soon find a copy in your child’s pigeon hole but here is a quick preview.

Just to let you know……

In Deans Nursery to develop our children’s language skills we have

• a book corner
• a daily story time
• a daily opportunity to ‘write’ name as they register in
• regular opportunities to talk about letters in names (especially the first letter).
• opportunities to show how to make letter sounds correctly focusing on the sound it makes long, short, quiet or loud
• regular opportunities to listen for syllables and rhymes
• a writing table with a huge selection of writing materials

 

The children had to work together this week using cubes to solve the puzzle.  They learned that teamwork gets the job done.

 

After voting for their favourite the winning buggy is here. We unpacked it together and helped to set it up. It’s already been put to good use and the children love using it for role play.

 

The children had a great time helping to make Snowman Soup and Reindeer Food for the Christmas Fayre! Well done boys and girls, you helped to raise £2800 for the school. Great job!

 

We are very lucky to have some Primary 6 reading buddies come down to nursery on a Thursday to read and act out some stories using the schools new story sacks. The nursery boys and girls have been loving their story sessions! Thanks Primary 6!

 

Thanks to everyone who came along to support our Big Bedtime Read launch. What a great day we had! We are looking forward to hearing how everyone enjoyed their bedtime stories!

 

 

 

 

 

We’ve been reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar and learning about healthy and unhealthy foods.  The Caterpillar eats some unhealthy food and has a tummy ache but then he eats something healthy and soon recovers before turning into a beautiful butterfly.

 

Children have been concentrating very hard this week sorting colours and shapes.

Miss Swanson is only with us a few more weeks then she goes off to have her baby. We will miss her and wish her well. Sarah-Louise drew a beautiful detailed drawing of Miss Swanson with her baby in her tummy. Super work .
