A message from Miss murphy

Hello Nursery

Thank you for watching the Looms and taking part in the different learning activities we offer. We hope you have enjoyed practising your number knowledge, listening to stories, learning new words, songs, and creating amazing artwork!

For English this week, Miss Murphy is reading 'We are Going on a Bear Hunt,' by Michael Rosen. We have attached a video of the author, Michael Rosen reading the story so you can also enjoy following his actions and joining in with the words. After Miss Murphy has finished reading, 'We are Going on a Bear Hunt,' you can think of a new ending that you would like to happen, you could even add some different characters, so you could go on a dinosaur hunt instead of a bear hunt!

For PKC, we will learn more about dinosaurs and the fantastic world of fossils! We will learn what fossils are, discovering how they are formed over time and find fossils all around the world! We will also learn how palaeontologists dig for fossils so we can discover more about dinosaurs.

In maths, we will sing some calendar time songs, such as days of the week and the months song. We will continue to practise counting 10 objects and will create and compare groups, finding the group that has more and less objects. Please can you upload to j2e a picture of your child counting 10 objects of their choosing. It could be spoons, toys or shoes, whatever your child chooses. An optional idea is for your child to count two groups of objects and identify which group has fewer and which group has more objects. We are looking forward to seeing what you upload on j2e! If you need any help with using j2e, please look at the video instructions in 'Additional Resources to Support Home Learning,' under the Remote Learning tab.

For PSHE, we are learning about what a balanced diet is, about healthy food and how to live a healthy life. We will learn why eating healthy foods and getting regular exercise is so important for our brain and body.

Lastly, we will learn about Jackson Pollock and his drip painting for Art. Even if you don't have paint at home, don't worry, you can draw and make artwork just like Jackson Pollock using different types of art materials.

We hope you enjoy these lessons this week and we can't wait to see what you upload on j2e!

Take care and stay safe,

The Early Years Team
