The Three Little Pigs
This week in Nursery we will be reading the story of The Three Little Pigs. We will be acting out the story and joining in with the repeated phrases in the story.
We will be talking about our homes, what they look like and what we like about them.
We will also be playing games in the outdoor area such as What's the Time, Mr. Wolf?
We are going to be painting pictures of houses we would like to live in. Some of us might choose to paint a castle or a palace, others might choose a tent or a caravan. We will be using shapes to create simple pictures of houses.
Everyone will go over to the Post Office to post a letter and we will look at the buildings we can see on the way.
Ways to help at home this week
Look at the features of different houses on your way to Nursery. Talk about how many windows they have, where the door is, etc. Are they all the same? Do they all have two floors? Have you seen any unusual houses?
What's coming up next week?
Monday, 6th May is Bank Holiday Monday. Nursery will be closed all day.
Stay & Play Week: If you would like to stay and play for an hour at Nursery next week please add your name to the lists in the Nursery porch. Numbers are limited for each session.

Nursery Treat Week
This week we are having a special "treat week" in Nursery. We had some special visitors last week and the children in Nursery behaved so well that we decided they all needed to have a treat to say thank you!
We will be a little bit more relaxed than usual this week. We will explore the garden, use the big climbing equipment in the hall and the trim trail outdoors, as well as free choice in the Nursery, both indoors and outdoors.
We will be back to normal next week.
Ways to help at home this week
Look at shapes and patterns on buildings, road signs and other things in the environment when you're out and about. Can you spot a square, a triangle, a circle? You could take photographs and bring them into Nursery.
What's coming up next week?
Next week we are looking at the story of The Three Little Pigs. We are going to go to the Post Office and post some letters and we will be looking at the buildings around Nursery. This will be done in small groups and within the Nursery sessions. Children will be well supervised by staff and volunteers throughout.

MYSTERY SOLVED: We found him!!
We made a Gingerbread Man on Monday and Thursday last week and each time he managed to escape from our oven! He left floury footprints all around school so we turned detective and followed the clues to look for him.
We found him in Mr. Grimes' office on Tuesday afternoon and in the staff room on Friday morning. But, on Tuesday, he was missing an arm! (Mr. Grimes denied eating it, but we weren't so sure!) Then, on Friday morning, he was missing part of his head! Nobody owned up but most of the children decided it must have been Mr. Grimes because (according to one of the girls) "he's always hungry"!!!

Welcome to our blog!
We hope you will find this blog useful for keeping you up to date with everything that is happening at Collierley Nursery. The information from our weekly newsletter will be posted each week.
This week in Nursery...
This week we are looking at the story of the Gingerbread Man. We will be retelling the story through role play and talking about it in our key groups. We will be running as fast as we can in our outdoor area to see if we could catch the Gingerbread Man!
The children who come to Nursery on Monday and Tuesday afternoons have made a Gingerbread Man already this week. (The rest of the children will make another one on Thursday morning.) But, when we went to take him out of the oven he had gone! We made posters asking if anyone had seen him and delivered them around school. Then we found some floury footprints so we turned into detectives and followed the clues around school to find him. We used the iPads to take photographs of the clues and where we found them. We have also been sorting some special gingerbread men into different sizes and colours.
Ways to help at home this week
Talk to your child about the story. What can they remember?
Our special word this week is "delicious". How many times can you use it this week?
What's coming up next week?
It will be a "normal" week in Nursery next week! We will be looking at another fairy tale and exploring our local area. We will be going out in small groups on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday next week to post letters at the Post Office and to look at the buildings near school.
