Fun activities online

Hello everyone,

It’s a new week and today we are letting you know about a website we love to use on our smart board. It’s called topmarks! you can use this either on a laptop, computer or tablet.

If you copy this web address into your search bar https://www.topmarks.co.uk/ , it will take you to the main page where you can click on the section ‘Early Years’. Here you will find lots of age appropriate games to make learning fun.

It would be good to focus on the shape and pattern games and you could try to draw your own shapes and make patterns. If you want to show us your creations you can either upload them onto the learning journals page or tweet us at @WLWoodlandsELC but please don’t use the children’s names!

Thanks

 

Story time

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone is well. We have decided to do a story of the week. The first story we will be focusing on is “We’re going on a bear hunt”.  If you click on the link below you will find a Youtube video of the story.

When we read stories in nursery the practitioners  ask questions related to the story to get the children thinking about what they have heard. This might be something you could try at home.

Who are the characters in the story?

What happened in the story?

Where did they go?

What was your favourite part?

Was there any parts you didn’t like and why?

World Book Day

This year, World Book day falls on the 7th of March 2019, where we will celebrate our favourite books and enjoy hearing new stories. The children are welcome to dress up as their favourite character from a book, however this is not compulsory.
