Week 6 Monday 8th February

Good morning everyone,

It's looking as if today could be a real snow day!! Go outside and have fun in the snow and fresh air. You could make something out of snow for art week. This week is Art week, and I am really looking forward to seeing what artwork you e-mail to go into our Nursery Art Gallery. I will be putting Phonics, Maths and a new story onto the website each day.

I would like you to explore the garden Centre and the Farm in Simple City on Mini Mash and I would like you to go to the drawing and painting area and in paint projects I would like you to paint a butterfly, a flower and rainbow and save them in your tray so I can see them.

The theme for the whole school's artwork is 'Nature' you can draw, paint, mould, model, collage or photograph your piece of art. If you have a pet you could draw, paint, collage, or make a model of it. You could collect pebbles and stones and make pictures or patterns, or paint stones turning them into insects, or animals. There are so many different arty things you could try. The snow today might be a good place to start, what can you make a snow model of? Can you draw in the snow? Can you catch a snowflake?

Stay safe, wrap up warm if you are playing in the snow and keep smiling.

Good morning everyone!

It looks as if I am going to get very wet on my walk into school this morning, can you remember the names of some of the places I will walk past? Hopefully today's activities will keep you busy, there are songs and rhymes to join in with for Phonics, help me retell the Three Little Pigs story and in My World Kitchen can you try cracking and pizza decorating? I will be teaching you number 9, so watch my video and join in with me, also watch my Numberblocks video to see what you can remember about number 4. What do you think of the bunnies I have made so far? I think I might carry on and make one for everybody. I hope you enjoy today's story, it's about Superheroes, and you are all my superheroes, stay safe.

Good Morning Everyone,

I can hardly believe we are half way through the week already, were you able to read the names of the places I passed on my walk to school yesterday? Well done for trying. I am still trying with my crochet, I have almost finished another baby bunny, look out for the pictures of them, we still need to think of a name for the big bunny, any ideas?

We are continuing to retell all of the Three Little Pigs story as well as learning number 8 today, please go to My Little World Kitchen and try Measuring and Grating. When you visit Mini Mash can you paint number 8 and save it to your  tray before visiting Simple City on the map on the wall in the classroom and exploring all the activities in The Cafe, have fun!

Week 4 Monday 25th January

Good morning everyone!

It has been so nice to have some proper cold and frosty wintery weather, have you been out for a walk in the frost? I went for a walk yesterday, the grass sounded very crunchy when I stepped on it and everywhere was lovely and shimmery white. 

This week we will be telling the whole of the Three Little Pigs story, we are exploring rhythm and rhyme in Phonics and in Maths we are revisiting numbers 1-5 with the Numberblocks and I will be teaching you to write numbers 6-10.

You will need some pegs and a towel for Funky Fingers.

I have finally managed to crochet a rabbit and a baby bunny, look out for their photos. Have you managed to learn a new skill? Perhaps you can put your own socks on, get dressed, fasten your zip, use a knife and fork, peel a potato or set the table.

Have a lovely day, stay safe, and enjoy today's activities.

Good morning everyone, this week we will be learning the end of our Three Little Pigs story, we will be learning to write our numbers 1-5 and we will be using positional language, that means we will be able to say if an object is on, under, inside, behind, or beside. Peppa and George Pig helped me with that so look out for them. Funky Fingers is also about positions, I know we won't have bean bags at home so use a rolled up pair of socks instead. Remember to have fun, try and get dressed yourself, and keep smiling while you stay safe at home.

Week 2 Wednesday 13th January

Good Morning everyone, it was lovely to speak to some of you yesterday, If I didn't speak to you then I will phone and speak to you on Thursday. I hope you are all keeping safe and enjoying being at home with your family. I know it's not the same as Nursery, but hopefully you will be trying all of the activities I have put here on the website for you. 

Make sure you look every day because I am putting new jobs for you to try each day. Remember to look on Mini Mash too, Miss Bulman has put more lovely activities for you to try on there, and there will be more every day.

It would be really good if you could use the time at home to practice things like getting dressed yourself, putting your own shoes on the correct feet, and fastening the zip of your coat, some of you could almost do this before Christmas.

It would be fantastic if you all learn some new skills while you are at home! yes I am trying to teach myself to crochet, it is very tricky and I am not very good at it but I keep trying every day angry. I am trying to make a bunny rabbit, I will take some photos to share with you if I get any further than a knot of wool!!

Remember to be kind, help your family, and most of all stay safe.
