Little red Hen

Incubating eggs for our ‘Growing and Changing’ project

By Mrs C Kingsman15th April 2016

Welcome back to the summer term! The last, but by no means least important, term for learning.

In nursery (at Countess Way) we have begun our learning for our Growing and Changing project by investigating a variety of chicken eggs. The children helped me set the eggs into an incubator and have really enjoyed checking on the eggs through the week. We talked about how we make eggs in different ways e.g. by scrambling or frying them and also foods that they are in such as cakes and pancakes.

Our core book this week and next week is The Little Red Hen. The children in nursery have begun to think about the meaning of the story and why it is important to work together as a team.

To help your child’s learning at home you could make something which contains egg with your child. Talk about how we all change as we grow. You could look at your child’s baby photos with them and talk about how they have changed. Would be great to share baby pics at school too!

Any questions please come and talk to a member of the team.

Easter activities

By Mrs C Kingsman25th March 2016

During the last three days of school children in Foundation 1 enjoyed making their Easter cards, hearing about the Easter story and making shredded wheat nests to take home. (Pictures below)

In phonics we have been practising rhyming. At home you can help your child by reading rhyming stories and identifying the rhyming words or making up rhyming strings e.g. ‘Cat, sat, mat, hat’. You can extend this by then making up a rhyme ‘the cat sat on a mat, wearing his favourite hat’.

When we return for the summer term we will begin our project Growing and Changing with the story The Little Red Hen. Please take the time to read the letter, that was sent home with your child, about our project. Especially the suggested activities for home and the key vocabulary you can use when talking about the themes within our project.

As the weather improves please take the time to visit the local parks and encourage your children to climb and hang off park apparatus. This will help them develop their gross motor skills and lead to better fine motor skills, holding pencils brushes etc which will help them develop their writing skills.

Last, but not least, have an eggcellent Easter Break! See you back at school on Tuesday 12th April.
