Nursery Newsletter week beginning 22nd January


Term: Spring 1                     Date: 22.01.2018

 

Dear Parent/Carer,

We have just received the wonderful news that Mrs Shoulders gave birth to a lovely little baby boy named Thomas this morning. He weighed 6lb and was born at 7.48 a.m. On behalf of everybody at Mead we would like to send our warmest congratulations.

 

The children have really enjoyed their themed work based on the three little pigs. This week we will be moving onto the story of `Goldilocks and the three bears `which will include children making porridge and deciding which toppings to put on. We will also be singing the song of `when `Goldilocks went to the house of the bears.`

These are the skills we will be focusing on this week:

Mathematics

The children are continuing to develop the skills to count accurately. We will be practising our counting and looking at sizes of things.

Cooking

The children will be helping to make porridge and stirring the milk into the oats.

 

Physical

The children will have their weekly P.E lesson and plenty of opportunity to develop their gross motor skills in the outside area.

 

Literacy

The children will be able to practise their mark making in porridge oats. At this stage mark making is a physical activity and this allows them to develop elbow and wrist control.

 

Workshop

The children will continue to have access to collage materials so they can create their own pictures. We will add junk materials for them to explore texture.

 

Communication and Language

Encouraging children to use simple sentences correctly.

Encouraging children to hold a conversation and respond to comments.

 

Personal and Social Development

Ensuring children are able to cooperate with routines and some boundaries.

Modelling the correct behaviours in play, ensuring children use resources well and begin to share with other children.

 

 

 

Messages

Please ensure your child has a coat in school every day as we do use the outside area in all weather conditions.
