The theme for Summer 1 ~ 

Caring for animals.

Home Challenge:

 The nursery would love to hear all about the different animals you have at home, these could be either a pet or an insect and how you care for them. Please send in any photos through Evidence Me or encourage your child to draw them so that they can share these during our show and tell time within small group time. 

Homework challenge~ Can you complete the 2do's on Purple Mash.

Create a colourful puppy?

The vets ~ if your pet is unwell then bring them here and find out how animals are cared for.

Help children develop an “ear” for rhyme and alliteration (1) model how rhyming words sound the same at the end; (2) by encouraging children to listen for the initial sounds in words; and (3) by reading aloud and reciting to children and having the children themselves recite and sing nursery rhymes and poems. Choose nursery rhymes and poems that are rich in rhyme and alliteration. “Hey Diddle, Diddle,” “Little Boy Blue,” and “Mary, Mary” are just three of the many nursery rhymes that will help do the job. “Hey Diddle, Diddle,” for example, contains these rhyme pairs: diddle/fiddle; moon/spoon; and alliteration in the repetition of the initial consonant d in the opening phrase: “Hey diddle, diddle.” It’s easy peasy as one, two, three so why not have a go.

Other ways of making it fun a home.

· Make rhyming word games with pictures cut from catalogues and magazines, for example, ‘boat’ and ‘coat’. Mount them on to card and take turns to find a match. Or makeup rhyming words from the

· Borrow a selection of nonsense poems from a library. Choose poems to read together, exaggerating rhymes and nonsense words.

· Collect small boxes and glue a plastic letter to the front of each one. Find objects starting with the letters to put in each box.

Our rhyme for this half term is ~

Incy Wincy Spider.

Our inspirational Person.

Sir David Attenborough

(Environmental focus)

was born on the 8th of May, 1926. 

He is 94 years of age and grew up in Leicester, England.

 David Attenborough is well known for his award-winning television programs on anthropology and natural history, most notably the Life series: Life on Earth (1979), The Living Planet (1984)

He was knighted 'Sir David Attenborough' in 1985.

2015 - saving the world - Sir David said he didn't start making programs with conservation in mind - he simply enjoyed observing the natural world. But as time passed he is tackling more environmental issues. 

Sir David Attenborough became aware that the animals and habitats he was filming were under threat. He's authored documentaries that overtly tackle environmental issues but prefers a subtler approach, showcasing the natural world in the hope we might be inspired to preserve it. 

Over the next year, we will be learning about our environmental footprint by saving water, recycling, protecting animal habits, and healthy eating.
