Tiddler - The Story Telling Fish

This week our older children who are staying at Collierley next year are going to spend some time in their new classroom. The rest of us will be reading "Tiddler - the story telling fish" by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. We will be going to Diving School and learning about the equipment we would need to go diving in the deep blue sea.

We will be using the computer to find out about some of the creatures in the story. We will also be playing with the magnetic fishing games and will have lots of maths equipment out to use and explore. Everyone will make up a story like Tiddler during Talk Time. We will be making a great big under the sea picture and mixing different shades of blue paint to create the sea scene.

Ways to help at home this week
Make up a story together. Use story language, e.g. "once upon a time", "happily ever after", etc. Make it as imaginative as possible. You could even write it down and make it into a book!

What's coming up next week?
Wednesday, 10th July - Nursery trip to Gibside

Please return the consent slip and money as soon as possible. Children will need a packed lunch in a backpack, a waterproof coat and footwear suitable for walking. They can bring up to £5.00 but it must be in a named purse or money bag and handed to a member of staff on arrival at Nursery on Wednesday morning. Please make sure your child arrives at Nursery at 8.45am. We will be back at approximately 3.00pm and children should be collected from the Nursery door at 3.15pm. If you have any questions, please speak to a member of staff.
