Rhyme Time

We sing a nursery rhyme every day in nursery, repeating the same rhyme every day.  This week our rhyme is: Humpty Dumpty

Drop Everything and Read

Learning about the world through stories and developing a love of books is promoted through our daily shared reading sessions.

We hope children enjoy watching and listening to our daily stories.  Children can of course watch the videos again and again and use the stories to inspire play and creative tasks.

Being Imaginative and Expressing Ourselves!

Being creative and making choices about the resources we use are important to our wellbeing and development.  Making choices encourages independence and reflective thinking. The learning opportunities below may inspire greater creativity!  

Making sense of number.

Play games which encourage counting and count objects during play and whilst doing helpful jobs at home.

Number names and numerals are just words and marks.  Helping children by exploring quantities through play, supports secure understanding of number values.

Learn about number value  - three

Watch Numberblock three singing his song and then go on a hunt for collections of three things. Here are two groups of three things for you to match to get you started.

Being creative with shapes

Explore shapes and patterns.  Where can you see patterns and shapes in the stories were are reading this week?

Think about the size of the patterns you see and the things you create.  Can you talk about big, huge, small, tiny patterns?

Physically Active Learning

Challenges which involve 'fiddly fingers' (moving small objects carefully) help to support children's fine motor control. This helps the development of early writing skills.

Moving in time to music and copying movements supports the development of children’s gross motor skills, spatial awareness and coordination skills.
