Nursery Blog – 06.11.26

Class Book

During this half-term, we are reading “We Are Going on a Bear Hunt.” This book features rhythmic language and a repetitive structure, which helps build vocabulary, enhance rhythm awareness, and support memory development. We have also incorporated actions to accompany the story.

Phonics

During our phonics sessions, the children have been learning about ‘Alliteration’ (when different words start with the same sound or letter). We have had lots of fun thinking of adjectives to match with our names.

Word Aware

This week, we have looked at ‘a bit’ and ‘both’.

Maths

Our maths focus has been on ‘order’. We practised counting forwards in the correct sequence from 0 to 10. The children excelled at identifying when the numbers were out of order. We also discussed counting ‘forwards.’

Everything else

This week, we explored the story of Guy Fawkes and the reasons behind Bonfire Night. We also focused on safety regarding fires and fireworks. The children had a lot of fun creating art inspired by fireworks! During our snack times, we read a story about an okapi, which led to discussions about being unique and special. On Tuesday and Thursday, the children had visitors from Year 3 who read with the children. This was a wonderful experience, and we hope to have more visits throughout the school year. Diwali is approaching, and the children have started making clay diyas, which we will decorate next week once they are dry.

Have a lovely weekend,

The Nursery Team
