Nursery Focus W/C 24.04.17

This week in Nursery the children will be learning all about the season of Spring. They will have the opportunity to go on a Spring walk, searching for signs of Spring and taking photos of these signs using the iPads. The children had the opportunity to see and handle baby chicks in our Nursery last week, and learnt about them. They were very engaged with the chicks and loved having them around.

We will be reading the stories "Handa's Hen" by Eileen Browne and "Six Little Chicks" by Jez Alborough. Both books lead nicely into our counting focus where we will be introducing the Numicon to the children and focusing on counting objects 1:1. Numicon builds an understanding of maths through a multi-sensory approach.

Reception focus 24.4.17

This week in Reception we will be focussing on the season of Spring and all that happens around us in this wonderful couple of months. The children have already seen Spring chicks and handled them carefully. They will now go on a Spring walk around the local environment, looking for signs of spring all around them.
The children will also be learning about the artist Claude Monet and recreating one of his famous paintings The Poppy Field.'

In phonics the children will be recapping the digraphs ee, or, ai and ar and will write words and sentences using these sounds.

In Maths, we will be focussing on counting and placing numbers in order as well as identifying missing numbers within a number line.
