Our theme for this half term is Christmas & Winter. We are starting the theme by looking at the story of The Gruffalo's Child by Julia Donaldson. We will be playing parachute games in the big hall, involving lots of teamwork. Everyone will use the digital cameras and iPads to take photographs. We will be using the overhead projector to explore shadows, as well as investigating the changes in the weather outdoors. We will use black pens, crayons and paint to make some cave paintings like the ones in the Gruffalo's cave. In our brand new floor books we will be drawing and writing about the things we are scared of. We will also talk about who our families are and what they do. We have some games to play in the outdoor area, including What's the Time, Baby Gruffalo? We will also make homes for the animals in the story outside and talk about hibernation and habitats.
Ways to help at home this week
Talk about how warm or cold it is outside this week and whether or not you need a coat to go outdoors.
Go outdoors as it is beginning to get dark and ask your child to listen to the sounds they can hear. Are there any sounds that are different to the ones you hear when it is light?
What's coming up next week?
We are welcoming more new starters to Nursery next week.
Children in Need... details to follow as soon as they are confirmed!
