Nursery Week Beginning 24th February 2025

Date: 13th Feb 2025 @ 11:58am

This week we are starting our new topic ‘Furry Friends.’ We will start our learning by reading the story ‘Dear Zoo’ by Rod Campbell. We will talk about our favourite animals and we will tell each other about any pets that we have at home.  We will discuss what we need to look after our pets and how to keep them happy and healthy.

At home – Talk about your favourite animal. Can you explain why this animal is your favourite? If you have a pet at home perhaps you could help your grownup to look after it.

We are looking forward to taking part in lots of craft activities, including making masks of our favourite zoo animals. We will have to think very carefully about the colours and shapes that we will need. We hope you enjoy guessing which animals we have made.

At home – Perhaps you could try making your own mask or painting a picture of your favourite zoo animal. You could even try using play dough or plasticine to make a model of your animal. Which colours will you need?

In maths we are continuing to practise our subitising skills and we are also going to focus on shapes with 3 sides. We will look at their properties and sort them in different ways.

At home - What shapes can you notice around you? Can you describe them?

Our rhyme this week is Five Green Bottles. Can you sing it at home?
