Reception have been thoroughly enjoying their new topic of ‘How living things grow’. After planting their own sunflower seeds, they decided to create their own sunflower paintings. The children began exploring the work of Vincent Van Gogh and focused on one of his most famous pieces of artwork known as ‘Sunflowers’. They then create their own sunflower painting inspired by Vincent Van Gogh. Reception used a range of colours and shapes within their paintings to create their beautiful masterpieces. Take a look at their fantastic artwork!
Nursery have been working so hard on their artwork! Their topic for this half term is Minibeasts and they been learning about which animals are classified as Minibeasts. The children have then created their own Minibeast artwork including ladybirds, tadpoles, caterpillars, spiders and butterflies! The children have enjoyed exploring with a range of colours and using different shapes to create these fantastic Minibeasts masterpieces. Take a look at Nursery’s beautiful artwork!
Today we have been sent some fantastic work completed by our Reception children.
Some of our children have also dressed up as superheroes!
We hope all of the Reception children have a lovely half term!
We look forward to seeing you all soon 🙂
Our Nursery children have been working hard at home today!
This week we have been learning about firefighters. We challenged the children to make their own fire engines using shapes or junk modelling. We have enjoyed seeing all of their fantastic pictures. Well done Nursery!
Good morning Nursery,
We hope you are safe and well.
Here are some activities you could try at home today.
English
In Nursery, we have been trying hard to identify initial sounds in words. Go on a sound hunt around your house and see if you can find something beginning with a ‘s’. How may can you find? Have a go at finding objects with another sound or the first sound in you name.
Today we would have been changing our library books. Share a story with your grown up. Draw a picture of your favourite character from the story. Remember to use nippy fingers when holding your pencil.
Maths
Today we would like to practise recognising your numbers. Ask your grown up to hide the Ten Town number cards from your home learning pack. Find the number cards, what number have found? Can you show that number of fingers or count that amount of objects?
Craft
Today we would like you to make your own fire engine using empty boxes or containers from around your house.
You could email us some photos to [email protected]. We’d love to see them!
We hope you all have a lovely holiday and we look forward to seeing you back at Nursery.
Thank you.
The Nursery Team.
Look at some of our Reception children’s fantastic home learning! We are so proud of their work 🙂
Good morning Nursery,
We hope you are safe and well.
This week we have been learning about firefighters. Here are some activities you could try at home today.
English
Each day we start by writing our names. Use the name from your pack to trace the letters then have a go at writing your name by yourself. Remember to form your letters correctly and hold your pencil between your nippy fingers.
Watch the video about firefighters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9RQDZEmf4I
Talk to your grown about the video. What have you learned about firefighters?
Draw a picture of a firefighter and a fire engine. Can you remember the different part of the uniform and the equipment on the fire engine?
Maths
Play the number game!
Use the dice from your home learning pack. On each face, write the numbers 1 to 6. Roll the dice and on your whiteboard draw the correct number of objects. You could draw firefighter’s helmets, boots, hoses, flames, ladders or wheels for the engine.
Craft
As you know, we are trying hard to improve our cutting skills. Ask your adult to draw some different shapes to make a fire engine. Holding your scissors correctly, cut out the shapes and make a fire engine.
Thank you.
The Nursery Team.
This week we have been exploring colour mixing. We picked two primary colours and used our hands to mix them together. We enjoyed seeing how the colours changed and talking about the new colours we had made.
We became fingerprint detectives and explored on own fingerprints.
As part of our ‘People who helps us’ topic, we have been learning about the police. Today we had a visit from our local PCSO’s. We learned about the role of our local officers and how we can contact them if we need to. They showed us the uniform and equipment they wear.
