Nursery

In maths last week we learnt the numbers 6 and 8. These are really tricky numbers to form but the children made a great attempt. Please practise at home! 

In Phonics we will be continuing with Body Percussion. Here are some more ideas for you to do at home with your children:

Action songs

Singing songs and action rhymes is a really important part of your child’s development. This can be made a fun  experience by adding multi-sensory experiences such as action songs in which your child has to add claps, knee pats and foot stamps or move in a particular way.

 

·If your happy and you know it

·Wind the bobbin up

·I’m a little tea pot

·Incy Wincy Spider

Roly poly

This is a rhyme with actions

(Rolling hand over hand as in the song ‘wind the bobbin up’).

Ro…ly…po…ly…ever…so…slowly

Ro…ly…poly…faster.

(you can increase the speed of your action as you increase the speed of the rhyme)

You could add in new verses, such as:

Stamp…your…feet…ever…so…slowly

stamp…your feet faster.

Say hello ever so quietly

Say hello louder!

Look listen and note how well your child can:

•   join in with words an actions to familiar songs

•  copy sounds and actions and make up patterns of sounds

Rehearsals are under way for our Christmas play. I am sure you will have heard your children singing the songs at home!
