The children also enjoyed expressing their creativity and developing their listening, and music appreciation skills this week. Outside, they had a wonderful time pretending to be butterflies as they danced to a range of different music while using colourful ribbons. They listened carefully to changes in tempo and rhythm and explored different ways of moving their bodies to match the music. The children also had a fantastic go at following a simple dance routine and tried hard to keep to the beat, showing great enthusiasm and confidence.
We have continued with our topic, learning all about growing and life cycles. The children have been very engaged and curious as we explored how living things grow and change. Alongside this, we continued developing our phonics knowledge and focused on learning the h sound. The children enjoyed using this sound in their label writing and have been working hard to read CVC words during our class sessions.
In Maths, we have been practising subitising numbers up to 6 and have also been counting and ordering numbers to 10. The children have been showing increasing confidence when recognising numbers and have been trying hard to form numerals to record their work.
How you can help at home:
Practise spotting and saying words that begin with the h sound around the home, such as hat, hand and house.
Count everyday objects together and practise putting numbers in order from 1 to 10.
Put on different types of music and encourage your child to move in different ways, clap to the beat or create simple dance moves together.
A huge well done to everyone for trying their best this week. We are very proud of all the effort, determination and enthusiasm shown by the children. We hope you all have a well deserved restful weekend.
Lots of love,
The Nursery Team x
