🍁Spring term!🍁

January-April 2021

It has been an unusual star to our Spring term this year, due to being in lockdown!

The children are doing a magnificent job of their blended learning activities, I am so very proud of them all. 💗

A big THANK YOU for all the help and support from all our Parents and Carers, you are doing a wonderful job! 👏👏

Our theme this Term is based on the book ‘Dear Polar Bear’.

It is a beautiful feel good story about friendship and kindness, and is a lovely way to instil and encourage this in our children!

🍁September-December 2020🍁

🍁Autumn Term🍁

🎄Christmas in our super class🎄

The children had a terrific time celebrating the Christmas festivities.

They made cards, calendars and decorations to take home for their families.

Every day one of the children decorated a tree or wreath, so they looked different from day to day.

We recited a whole book together and recorded it for everyone to see and hear!

The children did and amazing job of this, and made us all very proud!

Christmas Jumper Day

Our delightful Children learnt a complete book to recite for a whole school performance on our website. (This is available on the website under Children - School Video - for you to view, have a look, it’s such a treat!) The book was called ‘That’s not my Santa’. The did an absolutely fantastic job! Can you spot the children holding up every page they learnt?

Posing for Christmas Decorations!

Super smiley faces!

Please continue to practice our Read, Write, Inc. sounds.

Please remember to say the sound the letter makes and not the name of the letter!

Anti-Bullying week! INDIVIDUALITY and DIVERSITY!

The children spoke about their family and friends, and learned about how we are all different but all equal! They discussed colour, ability, our backgrounds, age, friendships, languages, and cultures. We all had a very busy, fun week and did some super work to show our learning!

🎆🎇Diwali!🎇🎆

The children enjoyed listening to the Story of Rana and Sita for our Diwali learning. They coloured some Rangoli patterns in bright colours to put up on our wall! They are beautiful!

🍁🌳Outdoor Learning Week🌳🍁

Stone painting, looking at colours and new colours by colour mixing, great fun and quite messy! Our flowers will look fabulous!

Bonfire Leaf Pictures

🍁🔥The children made some fantastic pictures using the leaves they had found in our forest area. They designed their own Bonfires, used lots of skills and had great fun outdoors! The children looked at the shape, colour, and size of their pictures, then compared their design to their classmates. They finished off the Bonfires with a BIG sprinkling of super, shiny, sparkling glitter, and I’m sure you’ll agree they look amazing!🔥🍁

Leaf hunting at the forest area, in preparation for our bonfire night pictures!

Well being and learning about emotions!

We have started looking at our Read, Write Inc letters this week!

Our first letter to practice is,

m m m

Please can you find items that begin with m to reinforce the sound with your child?

eg money, milk, mat, moon!

We have also been practising our numbers from 1-5!

1 2 3 4 5

Please can you help your child to name and recognise the numbers in day to day situations, such as at the shops, on road signs, house numbers, car registration plates and much more!

Here are some photos of our first term together at Nursery class!

We’ve been taking part in lots of activities, that help our socialising and learning!

We practice our learning together and sometimes on our own quietly, but having fun and enjoying what we do is the most important part!

We make sure we all engage in times where we look after each other and ourselves!

We take part in mindfulness sessions, yoga activities, wellbeing tasks and lots more!

You can do this indoors and outdoors! Where was it easier to do!

Some activities for you to try!

Let’s do some yoga!

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all safe and well. Before we finished school our class started doing yoga exercises! The children were amazing and all did a good job with every move we tried. Here they are for them to show you! They are very good for well being and mental health and encouraging a bit of quiet time, have a go and let me know how you all do!Hello everyone, I hope you’re all safe and well.

I hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather! I’ve got another activity for you to try! Let’s have some fun and create some super faces and some sticks and stones body shapes! Here’s mine, my face has a big smile just for you!.

I’ve been out walking and looking for colourful Things! I made a little egg box container and kept the lid on to stop things falling out. Perhaps you could make one and show me what you find! Good luck hunting! You can do it indoors or outdoors! 👍

Exercises to try whilst we’re away from school!

RWI letter sounds.

Here are the Read Write Inc letters in the order we learn them, please learn the sound and don’t worry about the formation of the yet, we’ll move on to that when the children know the sounds by recognising the letter.

I have set up a Private Facebook page for Parent/Carers to post on.

This page is for me to set activities for you to try and for you to show me how your little darlings are getting on!

The page is called ‘Maplettes Making Memories’, take a look and add your photos for us all to see!

Here are a few photo collages of our super children, having a fab time at Nursery since they started. (Sept 19 to March 20)
