Nursery Focus W/C 03.07.17

We are continuing with the children's interest again and sticking with the pirates topic!

The children will be listening to more stories about pirates during carpet time and group time. One story that I'm sure will be a hit is 'Ten Little Pirates' where we will interactively read this with the children as well.

The children will have the chance to hunt for the golden doubloon coins outside numbered 1-12 and will have the chance to order the doubloon coins correctly.

The children will have the chance to go on their very own treasure hunt as well where they will use a compass to figure out where the treasure is!

We are continuing Phonics Phase 2 and the phoneme of the week is 'p'. The children have already learnt about  the phoneme's 's', 'a' and 't' but these will be recapped throughout the week. The children will take part in a variety of activities to consolidate this initial phonics knowledge.

Reception focus 3.7.17

This week we are continuing our theme of 'By the seaside' linked to the story 'Billy's bucket.' 

The children will be using crayons and a wash of watercolour to create their own summer themed relief picture. They are also thinking about activities they enjoy in the summer time and how they are different to the winter time.

In phonics, the children are recapping digraphs, trigraphs and tricky words and applying these in their own independent work as well as writing sentences and captions to pictures.

In Maths, we are learning about capacity in practical activities using water. The children will be exploring independently and with adults, so please be warned the children may come home a little wet! Maths is fun and can be carried through at home in the bath or paddling pool.
