We loved reading ‘Peace at Last‘ this week. (This is a YouTube link. Top tip for watching YouTube with your child: go to the settings cog along the play bar and turn off autoplay – this avoids an inappropriate clip coming up automatically, and helps to discourage your child from passively watching clip after clip).
We especially enjoyed listening to the sounds that Mr Bear heard during the night and joining in with them BRRRRRRRR, NEEEEEOOOOW, TICK TOCK, SNUFFLE SNUFFLE!
We decided to go on our own listening walk around school. We heard lots of different sounds, diggers in the village playground, cars and buses on the road, teachers voices, doors creaking.
On Tuesday morning we woke up to snow! We had a super day in Nursery exploring our garden. We noticed that all of our wellies had different patterns on the bottom Some had stripes, some had zigzag patterns. Which ones are yours?
We made snowmen and even some snow dinosaurs! It was lots of fun.
We looked at all of the changes in the garden, how the snow had even fallen on the small stalks of the plants.
Help at home: What noises can you hear around your house or in the garden? Go on a listening walk and talk about the sounds you hear. Can you make the sound? If your child has a favourite bedtime story, try adding some sound effects to different parts of the story.

Reminders
- We have our Parent Teacher Consultation evenings on Monday and Wednesday. Please check your emails for the Zoom link. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for no technical difficulties!
- The weather has certainly got colder this week. Please make sure that your child has a warm coat, a hat and some gloves to wear every day. We play in our garden throughout winter, so children need to be wrapped up to keep warm and enjoy learning outside in all seasons.
