Sharing PEEP home learning!

Cody and his mum made this beautiful book all about what he likes. The book is based on the song ‘These are a few of my favourite things’ from the Sound of Music. This is a fantastic story book. Well done Cody!

This Week…

The children have been showing an interest in Pirates and under the sea in the nursery and in the garden. They have been playing ‘Shark Attack’ at the obstacle course using the equipment as a safe place from the sharks, climbing and balancing on the various pieces of equipment. The sharks can attack if you are in the sea, the grass. They extended this by introducing jellyfish and mermaids.

In the nursery the children have helped develop the tough tray into the sea and have been making treasure chests. There has been discussions about the different creatures we will find in the sea with the children providing lots of information. The treasure map was also discussed and the children were talking about finding the treasure at “X marks the spot”.

SAFETY NOTICE

Can we ask that if you are sending grapes in your child’s lunch box, that you please ensure they are cut at least once lenthways. This is to prevent choking! (Grapes are the perfect size to get stuck in small airways.)

We are very lucky and have not had any choking incidents and we would love for it to remain that way! Thank you in advance!

Sharing PEEP learning- March

Charlotte made her own book using the resources in the latest peep pack. March was all about books and celebrating World Book Day. Super job Charlotte!

Outdoor Learning

Last week some of us went out on a scavenger hunt, collecting twigs, stones, leaves and pine cones. We then used these to make our own twig skeleton.

Here are some of describing words-

Josh- “it tickles” (fir tree)

Madison- “it feels like a banana” (cone)

Alfie- “the cone is spikey”

Kyle & Cody- “hard” (stone)

Callum- “strong” (stone)

Sharing PEEP

What a fantastic Elmer model Sinead has made, using the ideas from the February PEEP pack. Well Done!

Fun at the Park

On Tuesday afternoon, some of us enjoyed going for a walk to the park. We played together and had a picnic snack as well!

Sharing Super Work

One of our friends did some fantastic work, creating her own number line to display in the nursery. Sophie worked independently to create these! Great job!

Emotion Stones

Some of us have been using emotion and expression stones to talk about our feelings and create our feelings through facial expressions.

Constellations

We have been recreating the constellations Ursula Minor, The Plough and Orion using chickpeas and cocktail sticks. We were finding this really tricky as the chickpeas kept breaking when we pushed the cocktail stick into them but we persevered and successfully managed to recreate the image.
