Friday – Story time and song
Hooray! We’ve made it to our last day of isolating at home! We hope that you have a lovely weekend and we can’t wait to see you all again in Nursery next week.
If you enjoyed ‘squiggling’ this morning, don’t forget to send us a video if you decide to create your own at home today.
Our final music video for this week is a rhyme all about a rocket. You’ll need to find some things that you can drum with, such as a saucepan/cardboard box and a wooden spoon. Have fun drumming in time to the Rocket rhyme!
Story time
For today’s story time, we thought that you might enjoy watching a story written by one of our favourite authors, Julia Donaldson. Grab a snack and sit back and enjoy watching ‘The Snail and the Whale‘.
Moving into Year 1
Please find the presentation here from the meeting tonight. Please speak to Miss Parling, Mrs Allen-Kelly or Mrs Wilkins in the first instance, if oyu have any questions. You can also find Mrs Latham at the door opposite F2.
Design Technology
We have been busy this week selecting the equipment that we will need to make our ‘Eggy’ cars. The children have completed their final designs and we are so close to making them now. The children were introduced to all the tools they could use and they had a go at safely using the equipment. the children were all able to talk about how to keep everyone safe when using tools, such as hand saws. Each group was set the challenge of joining two pieces of dowel together. They first had to cut the dowel to size and then use PVA glue and some card to reinforce the joint. They all created an L-shaped joint. The children were incredibly sensible using the tools and we didn’t lose any fingers!
Thursday – Story time and song
Thanks for sending us some photos of things that were arranged into groups of 3 after our group time yesterday. Great subitising, Nursery.
Today’s song will get you moving! You’ll need your fingers, thumbs, arms, legs and your head. Have you guessed what song it is?
Story time
Here’s Mrs Beesley reading one of her favourite stories all about a family that like spots and stripes. ‘My Mum and Dad make me laugh‘
Wednesday – Story time and song
We hope that you enjoyed joining in with the seaside themed dough disco this morning and that you’re not still singing Baby shark! If you want to have another go, here’s the link for you to play it at home.
Don’t forget our email – scholesf1@spherefederation.org if you’d like to send us a photo of your home learning. If you spot any ‘groups of 3’, from our subitising challenge this morning, send us a picture.
To join in with this afternoon’s song, you’ll need to get a tea towel or a hanky that you can wave in the air. Click on this link to join Mrs Gosper with another musical activity. Have fun! You might be able to find your own things to make some short and long sounds afterwards.
Story time
Today’s story is called ‘Runaway Train‘ and it’s written by Benedict Blathwayt. Listen carefully and pause the video to look at the illustrations – they’re really great in this book!
Tuesday – Story time and song
We loved the scavenger hunt on our Zoom group time this morning. Did you remember to put all of the things back that you found? We hope that you helped tidy up, just like we do at Nursery.
If you joined the Zoom yesterday, you might remember that we sang a song. Here’s Mrs Gosper singing it again, make sure you join in with ‘12345 Once I caught a fish alive‘ at home.
Story time
Mrs Crompton is going to read today’s story, some of you might remember hearing it at Nursery last week. It’s all about a shark…
Find somewhere comfortable to sit and listen to ‘Shark in the Dark‘ by Peter Bently.
Living and Learning : I know what consent is
We start talking about consent (giving permission) in our lessons around body image. In young children, it is all about respect and their relationships with family, friends and peers. We model asking children’s consent before we take their photograph, for example, or show their work under the visualiser in class. Miss Hague also asks children if they want to come on screen if she is awarding a certificate during our virtual assemblies. It is important for children to know they can say ‘no’ if they don’t give their permission.
Monday – Story time and song
It was lovely to see you all on our first Zoom meetings this morning. Don’t forget to look at your home learning activities all about ‘Keith the Cat with a Magic Hat’ and send us an email to let us know which ones you enjoy.
We will post a song for you to sing along to at home and a story for you to listen to, every afternoon this week.
Today’s song is ‘Row, row, row your boat’, you might be able to sit with someone in your family and pretend to be in a rowing boat, just like we do at Nursery.
Story time
Miss Morris is reading today’s story, ‘Go, Go, Pirate Boat‘. We love to draw treasure maps at Nursery and pretend to be in pirate ships, maybe you could have a go at home.
Home learning for 21.06
We hope that you’re all well and managing to stay busy at home. Please check your emails for the isolation home learning activities and the information regarding Zoom Key Worker group times.
As Nursery is closed next week (21.06 – 25.06) whilst staff and children self-isolate, we will continue our Key Worker group times on Zoom. We know that many of you also have work commitments, so please don’t worry if you’re not able to join in with all of them. We’ll be hosting a Zoom session for each group every morning, at the same time. Please join in for the sessions when your child would usually attend Nursery.
The Key Worker Zoom invite is for one long Zoom session, please join at the correct time for your child’s colour group. You will enter a waiting room and will be accepted, once the previous group’s session has finished. Each session will last approximately 15 minutes. Please try to join promptly so that we can start the session as close to the start time as possible.
