This week we had a special delivery in Nursery: children were so excited to find what was inside the little cardboard box that arrived by post. Inside, there were 5 teeny, tiny caterpillars! They were so hard to see that we needed to use the magnifying glasses. We’ve been checking them everyday and they are getting bigger and bigger, just like the caterpillar in this weeks story.
We read the story by Eric Carle ” The Very Hungry Caterpillar” We counted how many pieces of fruit the caterpillar ate each day. In the sensory tray we explored lots of different textures.
In maths, we looked at the number five. We know that we have 5 fingers on each hand and we clapped and jumped five times. We looked at objects that are all linked to the number five.
Help at home: Enjoy singing number songs linked to the number 5 together with your child such as 5 Little Ducks, 5 Little men in a flying saucer, 5 Currant Buns or 5 Little Monkeys .
The weather has been perfect for some gardening outside too. We got our green fingers busy and planted some carrots, peas and some of our bean plants. We talked about making sure that we watered the seeds so that they will grow.
Next week we will be welcoming some more friends to Green group. The children are looking forward to showing them around and helping them settle into Nursery.
