We enjoyed reading ‘Oliver’s Milkshake’ this week, which is part of the same series of books as ‘Oliver’s Vegetables’ written by Vivien French. We found out about where milk comes from and learnt that milk is good for our teeth and bones.
As we drank our milk at snack time, we continued to talk about how to keep our bodies healthy and how to look after our teeth. We used toothbrushes in the sensory area to clean the dirty teeth and we listened to some songs all about how to brush our teeth. This song was our favourite!
Help at home – Talk to your child about looking after their teeth and why it’s important to brush them at least twice a day.
We loved making some ‘milkshakes’ in the water tray and whisking the water to make it frothy.
There has been lots of other learning in Nursery this week sorting and counting flowers, making gardens in the dough and painting the daffodils that we found in our garden.
We have been thinking about positional language in our maths. Using words such as “above,” “below,” “next to,” “in front of,” and “behind.” We used toy characters and placed them in different positions.
Help at Home: Can you give your child an instructions including some positional language when playing? For example, “put the car in front of the house.” Then let them be the teacher and give you the instructions.
