Another wonderful week at nursery!
Worship
This week we have started to come together on ‘carpet kingdom’ for worship. We begin worship by lighting a candle, to show that Jesus is with us and by singing a song. This week it was ‘God made me, God made you’. We then made the sign of the cross just like we do in church. We even went on a ‘cross’ hunt around school. It will come a no surprise that there are lots!
We have spoken about our families and how we are now part of a new nursery family, school family and the family of the church. We have loved seeing our family pictures on the wall, please send one in if you can!
This week we have begun our first branch of our RE curriculum ‘Creation and covenant’. We spoke about our wonderful world and how God created it and everything in it, even all of us. We spoke about all the things in our world and then went on a nature hunt making nature bracelets - we had so much fun!
We listened to the story Wow! said the owl to help us understand- click here.
During the week we have continued our exploration of colour. We made an investigation tub full of interesting colourful objects…We also have been sorting secondary colours of green, purple and orange…it’s safe to say that we know our colours!!
This week we have been looking at the features on our faces, the colour of our hair, if we have curly wurley hair, straight hair and the differing colours of our skin. We then painted our portraits. Everyone studied their faces in a mirror then chose the correct colour of painted. We even found out that most of the friends at nursery have blue eyes!!!
Read Write Inc.
On Wednesday we introduced a new sound ‘a'. We now have two sounds to remember and have to practise writing! We did our writing this week in orange glitter sand.
‘m’ - down Maisie mountain mountain
‘a’ - round the apple and own the leaf
Why not have a go at home! Look out in your childs book bag for their Read Write Inc sound mat! Good luck!
We also played spot the sound ! We were fabulous at spotting ‘a’ and ‘m’.
Zero the Hero!
This week we met Zero the Hero. We found out that zero is nothing and it is one less that 1.
