Good Morning everyone! I have received some emails telling me what the prenursery and nursery children have been up to, but I would love to receive more. So please keep the emails coming.
We have two zoom sessions a day for children who want to attend. The sessions are at 11am and 1.30pm and I will read a story during each session.
Things to be completed everyday:
- Share stories with your children daily, they are hugely important in their learning.
- Please sing or say rhymes with your child. If you do not know the tune, don’t worry. Your child might know it, or you can make up a tune or you could always say it rather than sing it. See Day 1 for the words to some of our popular rhymes.
- Please find opportunities for counting daily. This might be when playing with toys, having tea, or walking up the stairs.
Pre-nursery
Walking Challenge – This week I would like you to challenge you to go outside and get as much fresh air as you possibly can. You could go for a walk together and take photographs of the things you see. It is important that we go outside to do exercise as it helps to keep us healthy and happy.
Choose a number rhyme from the list given on day 1. Encourage children to say or sing the rhyme. Use fingers when singing the number in the rhyme.
Nursery
Phonics – Rhythm and Rhyme – Watch the clip and see if your child can guess the rhyming word. See if you find your own examples of rhyming words.

Shapes – We have looked at circles and squares. Ask your child if they remember how many sides a circle has? That’s right, 1 curved side. Ask your child if they remember how many sides a square has? That’s right, 4 straight sides. Today I would like you to ask your child if they know what shape this is.
Discuss the properties of a triangle. They have 3 straight sides and 3 corners. You could then go on a hunt for triangles around your house. Here is a video about triangles:
Please can you keep in touch with me via email to let me know how your child is getting on. It would be lovely if you could send a photo or two of your children in their play. My email address is: clister@handale.rac.sch.uk
Take care,
Mrs Lister
