Billy's Bucket/Jack & Jill

This week our nursery rhyme is Jack & Jill. We are reading a story called "Billy's Bucket" by Kes Gray and Garry Parsons. The story is about a little boy who really wants a bucket for his birthday. He warns his parents to never, ever, ever use his bucket, but they don't listen...with disastrous consequences for their car! There are lots of buckets around the Nursery this week. See how many you can spot.

We will be finding out where water comes from and what it is used for as well as investigating ice and water. We will also be making some special watery pictures with powder paint.

In Magic Maths we will be doing lots of counting and filling buckets to see how many objects they can hold.

Clare will be in on Tuesday morning at 10.30 to tell us another story too!

Ways to help at home this week

Experiment with water and containers in the bath. Fill a larger container using a smaller one. How many will it take to fill the larger container?

Point out each time you use water during the day, e.g. to drink, to wash, to cook, etc.

What's coming up next week?

Tuesday - 10.30am Debutots

Friday - 1.45pm Celebration Assembly - Parents welcome
