Welcome to this week’s learning

Hello Nursery!

It’s lovely to be back on the Nursery blog. It’s my turn to be posting lots of activities and challenges this week and Miss Heritage is busy thinking of some more fun things to do with you next week.

‘Nursery, Nursery what do you know? Teach me all about how plants grow’

These are challenges to complete any time over the coming week:

Connected Curriculum Weekly Challenge

This week I want you to complete one or more of the challenges on the list. You’re choosing your favourite ways to show me and Miss Heritage what you have learned over the past few weeks about growing and caring for plants.

Reading Weekly Challenge

We are going to read through the story ‘The Tiny Seed’ by Eric Carle and as I read it I want you predict what will happen to the seeds. After that you will be able to tell me all of the interesting things that happen in the story and create drawings with initial sound labels on them.

Vocabulary Weekly Challenge

This week our vocabulary challenge will be learning new verbs. We are going to learn about how the seed moves in ‘The Tiny Seed’ and play games using a vocabulary spinner.

Then you are going to complete one of the verbs action challenges to show me how you move. You can use the vocabulary spinner too.

Home Learning

Send any photos or videos of the challenges you complete at home to me by Friday and I’ll put them all up on the blog for you to share with your friends. This is one of my favourite parts of blogging from home so please send lots and lots of photos or short videos in.

Tomorrow I will start setting you daily phonics and maths challenges :

Maths Daily Challenges

As well as looking for and describing the flowers you see this week, we are going to be creating and drawing them. Then I want you to count how many petals, label them and compare them.

Phonics Daily Challenges

This week is a ‘show me what you have learned’ week in phonics. We are going to have daily challenges using our knowledge of some of our favourite nursery rhymes. There will be lots of challenges to choose from for each Nursery Rhyme. You will be able to show me that you can say the initial sound of objects and create rhyming strings by the end of the week.

I’m so exciting about learning together at home again. I hope you are too!
