Home learning ideas
Rainbows
It's a hard time for everyone right now and families are trying to share some brightness in the world - with rainbows.
Encourage your child to draw or paint a rainbow to put in the front window of your home or chalk one on the path in your front garden.
The idea is so that anyone taking a walk during the current coronavirus pandemic can spot them along their route - and spreads the message that we are all in this together.
The Everywhere Bear is safe at home and feeling a lot better now. He thought it might be fun for you to place your bears in the window so that children and families going on their daily walk can
'GO ON A BEAR HUNT' counting the bears along the way.
He has asked me to remind you to stay safe and remember to
wash your hands when you get home.
Phonic sounds: 7 different ways to have fun.
Can you find all the things starting with the letter sound 's'?
Fun activities to encourage listening and attention.
Keep yourself and your family safe and encourage everyone to wash their hands. The children will love sharing this video with you as it will remind them of nursery.
Happy Easter

Cuddle up and watch: ‘The Odd Egg’ then click the image below to
connect to 'Love My Book' website.
scroll down the page to find the book, click on the picture
and explore other ideas connecting to the story.
Why not have a go and make your own rhyming eggs with your child. Save your cereal boxes and then draw around an oval and encourage your child to cut around the outline. Draw a zig zag half way up and cut along it. You can then write rhyming words on each half, for example cat/ bat, mouse/ house, car/ star and fox/ box. Use vocabulary to talk about the shape (oval), size, zig zag, half and what ending of words sounds the same. Click on the image for more rhyming words.

Maths
Number hunts. Find numbers hidden around the house or garden. Try hiding numbers in jelly or sand. Can you recognise the numbers? Could you order the numbers? You could even try to represent or show these numbers by doing some actions- e.g. 5 claps for the number 5, 4 jumps for number 4 etc.
We consider ourselves partners in your child's learning.

Vocabulary.
Talk is crucial to effective learning not just in the early years but throughout children's education. A 'talk-rich' environment is one where children's level of talk and vocabulary are accurately assessed and opportunities are created for further development and enhancement both indoors and out. Staff in Nursery are dedicated to help all children become effective talkers and Anita is attending a Language for Learning course which will provide a multitude of practical strategies to support children and staff. Parents can also help their children at home by turning off background noise, use short and simple sentences, look at them when they are talking to you and wait for them to finish talking before you speak. For more ideas on how to help your children talk, visit the ~
'Get Worcestershire Talking'
#weneedtotalk facebook/ twitter or www.hacw.nhs.uk/weneedtotalk.
Our key words for this half term are:
Get your child to have a go at syllable clapping the word? explain the meaning? and use it correctly within a sentence.
Nursery's inspirational person is:
Beatrix Potter
Beatrix Potter was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist and conservationist best known for her children's books featuring animals, such as those in The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Jemima Puddle Duck, The Tale of Mrs Tiggy Winkle and The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, to name just a few. To find out more about this inspirational lady why not visit https://www.peterrabbit.com/play/
The children will be learning about the difference between an author and an illustrator, as they begin to ascribe meaning to their marks.
Enjoy stories and talk about the illustrations.
Learn more about their natural environment through our outdoor learning and Forest School activities.
Become scientist through exploration within play.
We are learning how to form our letters correctly, using our new pre cursive letter formation. Staff will help children to write our lowercase letters on the line starting with a tick and ending with a flick! Please encourage this at home too!
