Phonics

We have continued to focus on developing our early phonics listening skills. Phase 1 phonics helps build crucial listening abilities. This week, we created a farm setting and made various animal noises for the children to identify the corresponding animals. We also reread “Dear Zoo” and collectively made some impressive animal sounds as a class.

Maths

During our maths sessions, we focused on the concept of ‘same’. The children examined groups of objects to determine if they were ‘the same’. They enjoyed the class game so much that they continued playing it during their choosing time!

Word Aware

Each week, we introduce two concept words to the children. This week, we focused on the words ‘above’ and ‘after’.

Everything else

Everything else

This week, we focused on the concepts of ‘now’ (the present) and ‘then’ (the past). We discussed toys and compared our current selves to our baby selves, which the children really enjoyed. The children showed a strong interest in dinosaurs throughout the week. We brought out the larger dinosaur toys to play with, watched a fact video about dinosaurs and fossils, and examined some real fossils. We also created autumn-themed pictures by rubbing crayons over leaves, got a bit messy, visited the conservation area, and played on the castle and slide play area.

Have a lovely weekend,

The Nursery Team
