Worship
This week we discussed the gifts that the Three Wise Men brought to Jesus. To show how special Jesus was, the Wise Men gave Him three gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. These were very special presents that showed they believed Jesus was a king and very important.
The first gift was gold. Gold is shiny and precious, like a crown for a king. This was to show that Jesus would be a special king.
The second gift was frankincense. Frankincense is something that smells really nice, like a candle or perfume. They gave this to show that Jesus was very special and that people would pray to Him.
The last gift was myrrh. Myrrh was something people used when someone was very sick or had died. This gift showed that one day Jesus would die to show His love for us.
We then played ‘Pass the Love game’. We passed the love all around our circle of friends
Learning landscape
A great week exploring and finding our.
We continued our investigation of triangles…all different types of triangles. We played a game using triangle to make lots of different shapes, great fun and some odd looking shapes.
Our interest in space passion has not abated and this week. When talking about the moon we discovered that there is less gravity on the moon! and that:
Gravity Pulls Things Down: Even on the Moon, things don't float away because gravity still pulls them.
Moon is Smaller: The Moon is smaller than Earth, so its gravity is weaker, like a gentle tug instead of a strong pull.
Feeling Lighter: Because the pull is weaker, you weigh less on the Moon (about 1/6th your Earth weight), so you can jump much higher and take giant, slow-motion steps.
Earth vs. Moon: On Earth, a ball falls quickly; on the Moon, it would float down slowly.
This led us to explore forces such as magnetism, and material properties, using lots of magnetic resources to explore pushing, pulling, attraction, and repulsion. We found lots of objects around nursery and in the school hall!
We have learnt five new sounds c, k, u, b and f. We are spotting them everywhere. Can you see them when you are out and about at the weekend? At nursery we have been doing a shape sort!
Our maths concept has introduced a new word…more and fewer. We have been looking at objects in a jar and comparing if there are more or fewer objects in the jar. It was a bit tricky at first but we are getting there…fewer is a new word.
Blue Our Lady book bags.
Owing to a shortage of space in our entrance could you please ensure that your child brings a school books bag and not a back pack. They are becoming a tripping hazard as they often do not fit in our storage box. Thank you for your support.
Have a restful weekend and see you on Monday.
Stay safe and God bless
