Our book of the week is a book of poems ” Mad about Minibeasts” We have been identifying rhyming words in Nursery so this book will support our leaning.
Sound of the week:
w for wave
Can you practise the sound at home?
Pucker your lips and keep them as small as you say w,w,w.
Nursery rhyme of the week:
Maths
We will continue to look for shapes in our environment. We will be talking about them and describing them using words like
straight, flat, curved, edges, corners and faces.
We will be finding out about spiders this week. Counting their legs and their eyes! We will be looking for spiders webs too.
Looking for snails and drawing their shells will help us with our mark making.
We will also be watching our chrysalides very closely next week too.
Help at home:
For children moving into Reception in September, play games like ‘I spy’ where you have to listen carefully to the initial sounds in words. Get three objects, two that begin with the same sound and one that starts with a different sound. Can they spot the odd one out and tell you why? E.g. car, cookie, banana.
For children that are in green group and will stay in Nursery next year, begin to listen to sounds around you as you’re out and about. What can children hear in their environment? Can they hear birds singing, a fridge humming, a bell ringing?
Check back later this week to find out how we got on.
