Hi
Nursery,
The
grown-ups in Nursery are sending you all a virtual hug as we miss you lots and
lots!
We
wanted to say a big well done on completing your learning challenges from last
week, we were very impressed with how motivated you were; you are making us all
super proud! Don’t forget to email any pictures or videos of you completing
your learning challenges to the nursery email address – we love to see them!
Email
to:
Mr Bear
and Jenie Jigsaw also say a BIG well done to you all, they are so impressed
with how you are taking on their challenges each week!
Here are your challenges for this week:
You could
begin your days by singing the ‘Days of the week’ song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtQcnZ2JWsY
You could also
talk to your grown-ups about the weather and if you are feeling up to a super
challenge – name the day that it was yesterday and the day it will be tomorrow!
You could
also begin each of your phonic sessions with our ‘Jolly Jingles’ song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euxN7LGOoLc
or ‘Phonics Song 2’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BELlZKpi1Zs
on YouTube.
For the Maths sessions this week, Mr
Bear and Jenie would like you to watch ‘Numberblocks’ on BBC iPlayer; one
episode a day. Start with the first video on the webpage and each day choose
the next one in the sequence.
Monday:
Phonics – Today you
will need to get together the glass bottles/jars you have been saving. Ask your
grown-up to fill the jars with different amounts of water and label the jars
with the letters in this order:
c s a
t e i
p o u n
Can you use a spoon to make these words by tapping on the jars?
Tap out the words:
cat
sun
tip
pin
sat
tap
Challenge: Can you work with your grown-up to
think of another word that is not on this list? Have a go at tapping out your
word. Did the glasses make different sounds when you tapped on them? Which
letters made the loudest sound? Which made the quietest sound?
Maths- We are going
to continue learning about numbers again this week with some ordering,
identifying and counting.
I know that lots of you enjoyed calling the characters by
selecting the four numbers needed to call them, so this week Mr Bear and Jenie
have planned something similar.
You will need your number cards for this challenge. Can you place
your numbers together to reveal a surprise? If you manage to place all of your
number cards in the correct order, ask your grown-up to send a picture and to
inform Miss Woods who your favourite character was from the list.
Batman – 9516
Elsa – 7348
Spiderman – 0931
Anna – 9720
Chase – 1473
Cinderella – 5834
Marshall – 2560
Moana - 8146
Challenge: Choose your favourite character’s
number and see if you can have a go at forming the numbers onto a piece of
paper. Keep it safe in case you need to call them!
Tuesday:
Phonics – Today, you
will need the plastic bottle tops that you were collecting. Ask your grown-ups
to write these words onto paper – using one piece of paper for each sound.
-
bed
-
sun
-
dog
-
run
Use one bottle top to trace over the sounds. I have used words
which include some of the sounds which we find tricky to form like b/d, u/n and
also s. (Keep the pieces of paper with the sounds on for tomorrow’s phonics
challenge)
*Remember to use the rhymes that we say in school to help us form
our sounds – see picture below for rhymes*
Challenge: Choose one of the words from above and
have a go at independently forming the sounds on a clean piece of paper.
Maths- Using your other bottle tops, ask your grown-ups to write numbers
on them from 0-10. When they have done this, tell them to hide the bottle tops
around your house (or outside if the weather is nice) and your challenge is to
hunt to find them. When you have found them, can you match them to the number
cards you have in your home learning packs?
Challenge: If you would like to make the
challenge trickier, you could have a go at ordering them from 10-0. Can you
count backwards from 10 and blast off?
Wednesday:
Phonics – Using your paper with the sounds on from yesterday, lay them out
in front of you and ask your grown-up to sit behind you. They are going to use
their finger to write the sound on your back. Can you guess which sound they
have formed on your back? Can you select it from the sounds in front of you?
Challenge: Use your magic finger like we do in
school to trace over the sounds like you did with the bottle top yesterday.
Remember to use our special rhymes that we say in school to form the sounds.
Maths-
Today we are going to use our hands to help us form our numbers. Some numbers are tricky to form like some of our letters and Miss Woods has found a super tip which she thinks will help you with your number formation. Have a look at the pictures below and have a go at forming your numbers 0-10.

(If you use your left-hand to write with, you will need to place
your right hand on the paper with your palm facing upwards)
Challenge: Can you find the number that is one
more than 4? Can you find the number that is one less than 7?
Thursday:
Phonics – Ask your grown-up to
write your name using large letters like in the picture below. Can you collect
items which you could stick on to the letter sounds in your name to make a
beautiful collage like the one below? You could use any materials you have or
can find to make your name collage.
Challenge: Can you name each of the letter
sounds in your name? Do you know any of the letter sounds from your surname?
Maths- To finish off
our maths learning, ask your grown-up to cut up some cardboard packaging into a
jigsaw for you to complete. Have a look at the picture below for some
inspiration.
Challenge: How many pieces did you use to
complete your jigsaw? What picture did the jigsaw make when you put it back
together?
Fun Fridays:
Well done for completing the tricky challenges for Phonics and
Maths this week Nursery – I hope you have a super fun Friday and I cannot wait
until we can share those fun times together again!
Creative time:
For your creative activity this week I am going to leave it down
to you! I know that you are so creative and have wonderful imaginations so I
thought it would be nice for you to get creative in any way that you like. Some
ideas could be:
-
to draw/make a picture of something you really love
-
to make up a song or a dance
-
to create a model of something using resources you have at home
-
to bake
I can’t wait to see your wonderful creations!
PE time:
You could choose your favourite Go Noodle song to dance along to –
Banana, Banana Meatballs is a firm favourite at school!
Or you could choose your favourite physical thing to do, such as
running, jumping, taking a walk. After you have done some exercise, can you
talk to your grown-up about what happens to your heart when you move around
fast?
-
Why might you get out of breath?
-
Does your heart beat fast when you are running?
-
Does your heart beat slow when you are running?
-
Is it good to exercise?
-
Why do we need to exercise?
