Nursery Newsletter Spring 2 Week 2

Term: Spring 2                     Date: 27.02.2018 

Dear Parent/Carer,

As usual the Nursery has been a hive of activity
Each day the children come into a range of exciting and varied experiences.
Last week the children had a wonderful time learning about `The Very Hungry Caterpillar`. This included hearing and joining in with the story, making caterpillars, learning the days of the week and exploring the toy mini beasts. This week we will continue with the story and focus more on butterflies .This will be as well as possibly dealing with snow and Our World Book Day experience on Thursday 1st March where the children can come into school dressed up as a book character .
 
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 and shapes of things. We will also be learning bout symmetry by painting symmetrical butterflies.
Physical
The children will have daily sessions outside developing their gross motor skills. We will be concentrating on throwing and catching on Friday during our weekly P.E session.
Literacy
The children will be able to practise their mark making and encouraging the children to retell the story.
 
Communication and Language
Encouraging children to use simple sentences correctly.
Encouraging children to hold a conversation and respond to comments.

Personal and Social Development
