Winnie at the Seaside

This week we are reading "Winnie at the Seaside". We will be talking about what we could do at the beach. In the outdoor area we will be pretending the wooden planks are surf boards. We will be going to surf school and finding ways of balancing.

We will be having a sandcastle competition in the classroom. We will look at different sandcastles on the computer first to give us some ideas. In the story Winnie the Witch left her broomstick in the sea. She used her magic wand to bring it back, but it caused all sorts of problems so we are going to build a boat for her instead. We will be testing different materials to see which ones float and which ones last the longest in the water. We are going to taste different flavours of ice cream and see which is the most popular.

Ways to help at home this week

Talk about times you have been to the seaside and what you did when you were there.
Look for shapes around the house, out in the street, etc. Point out road signs for example and talk about their shape.

What's coming up next week?

Wednesday, 19th June is the Barnardo's Big Toddle. This will take place during normal nursery sessions, within the school grounds. We would like to ask the children to dress up as a fairy tale or nursery rhyme character for the toddle this year. Please remember that we are doing our walk outside (hopefully on the school field, weather permitting) and they will need to have sensible shoes on their feet.
Can you please bring sponsor money into Nursery by Wednesday, 3rd July?
If you have any questions, please speak to a member of staff in Nursery. Thank you!
