We were very busy last week preparing for our Scottish night as well as all our other learning. Here is some of what we have been learning.
We read Katie Morag and the Tiresome Ted story and in writing we re-wrote the story and thought about how the the teddy felt at different points,writing them in speech bubbles. Findlay
We were drawing pictures of the Bear Hunt story with a partner ready for the Scottish show next Monday. Maris
We wrote a letter to Katie Morag telling her our name, our age, where we live, what we like doing and we asked her a question about Struay. Josh
We were learning about Road Safety. If you are cycling about on the road you have to wear a jacket that you can be seen with, it would be yellow. Brodie
We were practising our handwriting in the sand trays last week. We were practising i, a and d. Callum
In maths we were all doing different things:
I was taking away in 100. Josh
I was taking away in 10. Brodie
I was adding numbers up to 7. Maris
I was adding two groups together with gems. Connor
I was taking away in 20. Erin
Check back in next week to find out how our final Scottish night preparations have been going!
We are trying out a new way to share the nursery children’s learning journey, it is called sway. We think that it is a great way to share their learning with you. Please have a look and let us know what you think.
As you can see from sway the children have been busy this week continuing to look at how to be safe. In addition to what the learning on sway some children also enjoyed using their ITC skills to play a Paw Patrol game on staying safe. They were great at taking turns because if they all tried to play at once the game would freeze!
If you would like to play the game with your child at home you can copy and paste the link below.
