Forest School Activity

Frogs

It was good to see a return of our speckled frog song as you joined from Forest School.  You have also enjoyed creating your own lifecycle with Miss Veillet.  However the highlight of the week has to be the warmer weather and keeping those waterproofs in the boot room as we enjoy some summer fun in the sun!

Rhyme Time

Ring O Roses

We have been adding actions to our rhyme this week as we have circled around and swam like fish.  We have worked hard to find a third rhyming word for our string – rose, nose and ……. anyone?

Phonics

The jellyfish sound /j/

It’s a record – four friends in the sound box this week!  Can you remember who we found in there?  They had fun in there wobbling with the jelly and we all had fun eating it with our snack!  You laughed at the jester but the funniest must have been Mrs Mander trying to juggle like the jester!

Listening

Who is missing?

We took it in turns to play a game that uses all of our listening rules.  It was a two-player game with player 1 and player 2 both hiding behind the curtain.  Clues were given by all the rest of us as you took turns to work out who was missing.

Maths

Tally Time

You may have spotted our tally marks in the front playground as we started the week creating tally 5 stepping stones.  Once we picked up the pattern, we enjoyed tallying the vehicles that passed the school – luckily Blackwell is a quiet place during the day.  We did make it tally 10 eventually!

Communication and Language

Hungry Harry, Joanne Partis

This week Mrs Allen has been sharing a story about a hungry frog who was told by his mum to go and hunt down his own food.  He met some minibeasts on his journey but was quite unlucky when it came to actually eating them!  Can you remember what he found to eat at the end of the story?     

Fine Motor (am)

Dough Disco

Adelenna’s choice of King of my Castle has had us talking about the difference between a DJ and a singer.  We learnt that a DJ makes the music and this was the part we enjoyed moving to the most this week!

Gross Motor (pm)

Sports Day

As we prepare for our Sports Day in a few weeks, we headed over to the field to find the long-lined track.  From our Maths session last week, we learnt about start and finish and we found these as we walked out our tracks.  A little more work on staying in lines and not switching lanes and we’ve got this!

A message for parents – we will be having our nursery class photograph on Monday 20^th May.  If your little one does not attend on a Monday and you would like them to be a part of the photo, please send them in at normal time and collect at 11.30am or 12.00pm.
