Nursery home learning week 5 Monday 4th April

A big hello everyone in Nursery from all of your grown-ups.

We miss you all very much! xxx

PhonicsLast week was the first week the children were introduced to phase 2 letter sounds. We always start with the sounds for sat and pin as these can lead on to learning word/ reading quicker than learning the sounds in alphabetical order. This week I would like you to play the I spy game all week to support the learning of these new sounds. The I spay game will be attached in a separate file.

Reading Before you read this week’s book We are all different. Take a look at the front cover…

Ask your child what they think the book might be about? Why? Encourage answers that mean your child has used what they can see in the picture to guide their answer. Please read the power-point version of The Gingerbread Man. If this is difficult for any reason please talk about the pictures of the story. Key vocab to focus on: Gingerbread – a type of biscuit that is made with a spice called ginger. It has a warm taste.Yelling- shouting loudly, sometimes a little bit cross.Catch- grab hold of.LiteracyThe gingerbread man was avery fast runner. I cnt believe all of his decorations managed to stay on!! Today we are going to make our very owbn gingerbread man puppet!You could get your grown up to draw a gingerbread man on a piece of paper or cut out a ginger bread man shape. Then you could use anything you have in your house to decorate your gingerbread man. Take a look at the phtotos to help you.
