Nursery w.c. 21.1.13

Squiggle

This weeks story is called 'Little Sun' & it focuses on making circular movements in the air with whole bodies or only with the arms (upright circles or flat circles). When squiggling the children will form one circle with both hands close together or two circles at the same time, one with the left hand & one with the right. There are also arm movements away from the body to represent the sun's rays & long lines will be drawn out or in.

Phonics

We are continuing with rhyme this week. Here are two more games you can play.


Odd one out
Put out three objects or pictures, two with names that rhyme and one with a name that does not. Ask your child to tell you the ‘odd one out’: the name that does not rhyme.
Your child needs to be familiar with the rhyming words before they can use them in a game –  so be sure to spend time looking at the pictures and talking about the pairs.

Finish the rhyme
Visit the local library and ask for rhyming books such as:
It’s the bear
Where’s my teddy?
When you are reading books that rhyme and your child knows the story well, pause before just before you say the rhyming word and let your child say the rhyming word.

Look, listen and note how well your child can recognise & identify the rhyming pairs.

Maths

This week we are learning about 2D shape - circle, square, triangle & rectangle. We will be naming them, recognising shapes of different sizes, counting the corners & sides of the shapes, looking at shapes in the environment & in pictures,etc. Talk about the shapes you see around you at home & when you are out & about with your child. Go shape spotting!!
