This week in nursery, the children have been learning about the habitats of jungle animals and what kinds of animals might live in the jungle. They have been painting different animals that live in the jungle and acting out as gorillas, lions, and monkeys. They have enjoyed learning about the special features of these animals and have been designing their own animal masks. The children have also been working hard on their counting, cutting out different animals, and writing different labels/captions. The children are working extremely hard on their early sound recognition every morning in phonics. Please continue to help your child form letters at home and continue practicing writing their names. We would also appreciate it if you could read them a story every night before bed to help with their listening and comprehension skills.

Thank you for your continued support and help.

We are reading the story Monkey puzzle for the next 2 weeks. We will be learning about the jungle and how to be a helpful friend. In the story, the butterfly was a helpful friend because she helped baby monkey find his family. Ask your child how they can help you at home? How can they be a good friend? Perhaps, a good brother or sister? How can we show kindness ?

Here is a link of the story below:

Welcome back to the summer term! We hope you enjoyed a wonderful break at home with your children. This week, the children have been diligently practicing writing letters and their own names. They have been actively engaged in self-initiated learning, solving puzzles, drawing pictures, painting, digging, and building with blocks. Additionally, we have been exploring the fascinating world of mini beasts, venturing outside to discover them and creating our own mini beasts using playdough.

 

We have been learning about different celebrations and why some people celebrate Easter, Eid and Diwali. The children have been busy making lots of things to celebrate Easter and we have also been reading about Easter. Take a look at some of our pictures and our learning from this week!
