Nursery- UTW-Celebration
We have had lots of fun playing party games in Nursery. Learning to play pass the parcel and musical chairs and trying to understand that we might not always win. We developed our fine motor skills popping bubbles with our fingers and catching the balloons when they went up into the air. We enjoyed sharing the celebration with the Pre School children.
Reception Class - Maths
The children in reception Class have been consolidating thir mathematical skills today. We worked in teams to order our Numicon sets 1 -10, then we had to sort them into odds and evens. We finished by finding our numberbonds to 5 and theen to 10. The children did a fantastic job and showed lots of sticky knowledge!
Nursery - Maths - Link Octopus
This week the children in Nursery class have been using their fine motor skills to assist them with our maths challenge. Using their knowledge of colour, the little ones were able to select different links and join them to the corresponding coloured tentacle on our octopus. This was very fiddly and needed a lot of perseverance! The children were encouraged to name or repeat the colour of the link they had chosen and some children also correctly identified which tentacle was the longest and which was the shortest. Great work, Nursery!
Reception Maths: Part and Part Make Up A Whole.
By using a hoop and some pompoms Reception class have been thinking about how two parts make up a whole. They threw the pompoms into the hoop but some fell outside. The ones inside the hoop were one part, those outside were another part. Adding the two parts together makes the whole!
Reception Music: Joining the Line with Chicken Licken.
In Music, Reception class has sung a song about the story of Chicken Licken. They learnt that he thought the sky was falling down! Gradually the class joined in the song and joined the line to go and tell the king!
Pre School- Science- Magnets
The children have been developing their understanding of how the magnets work. Learning that there are two poles, one that will attract and one that will repel. The children watched as the magnets repelled and moved away from the other magnets without touching the other magnet. When they attracted the magnets stuck together and were hard to separate.
Pre School- Computing and Maths- Recognise Numbers
The children have had lots of fun this week developing their knowledge of numbers and counting 1 to 1 correspondence. The children added legs to the octopus and used different colours to add spots as they counted, recognising numbers as they go.
Nursery - Computing - Can You Draw A Sea Animal?
The children in Nursery class have accessed the interactive board to create a picture of a sea animal. They each chose their favorite sea animal from the basket, we discussed what it was called and what characteristics we could see on the animal. The children then selected a colour or texture for their picture and began to make marks on the board to represent their sea animal. They made some fabulous masterpieces and were very proud of their work!

The children have been developing their sharing and taking turn skills playing the game, Pizza, Pizza. Working in groups to collect the correct pieces to add to their board, but some pizza toppings had bugs on and they needed to go in the rubbish meaning that the children's boards did not get filled. We all supported each other until we all had a complete board of pizza.
