Welcome to the Nursery learning page. Don't forget to register each morning on the opening page.
Good Morning!
We love to see what you are learning at home!
Thank you for sharing your special moments at home. Here are some of them...
Can you find pictures of your friends?
Using ILD
ILD is the platform Foundation Stage use for sharing learning. Sending pictures and videos here allows teachers to give personalised feedback on children's learning. A gentle reminder that teachers are unable to provide feedback via email or Teams chat. A parent guide of how to use this platform is in the document below.
These are some ideas for learning at home today. Parents please remember that there is no expectation to complete all of these! Keeping a routine for your child and maintaining contact with school are the most important thing.
Wake Up Song
"Action songs not only develop language as children learn the words but also support the development of your child's gross motor skills such as balance, strength and coordination. "

Today's story time is..
“Sensory play encourages children to mindfully explore, experience, investigate, create and observe different textures, sensations and aromas using their senses, while developing fine motor and hand eye coordination skills.”
Here are some ideas that you can do at home with household ingredients. You might want to enjoy some sensory play during the Songkran holiday. All these ideas can be enjoyed inside or outside - enjoy the sensory fun!
As part of our Expressive Art and Design we want the children to explore different media and materials. Sensory play is a great for exploring different textures and helps to introduce new words and vocabulary. It makes links with Understanding The World as the children observe the changes, such as cornflour and water turning into gloop!
Cornflour
Mix with water gradually to create a gloop.
“How does it feel?”
“It feels... sticky, slimy, wet, dry.”
Cocoa powder and cornflour sensory tray...
Shaving cream...
Shaving cream is soft, cool, wet and fluffy. Spray it onto a surface, into a tub and explore using hands, spoons and different tools.
Add in some paint or food colouring to explore colour mixing. Can you use your finger or a cotton bud to make a pattern in the foam/ paint? Painting with cotton buds helps to practice fine motor skills and pincer grip in a fun way.
“How does it feel?”
“It feels... soft, cool, wet, fluffy.”
Ice
Make rainbow ice. Use food colours or paint to make different coloured ice cubes.
Mix colours to see what other colours you can make or paint with them. Find out more here.
“How does it feel?”
“It feels... wet, cold, freezing cold, icy, smooth.”
Oats
You can add water, measuring containers, pans, spoons. Add diggers, cars or other toys to enhance the play. By adding containers, measuring equipment and toys you can begin to categorise the objects according to properties such as shape or size. Can you use the words, “full”, “empty”, “small”, “medium” and “large.” Maths is all around us!
Using scissors
As part of our Physical Development we encourage the children to use one-handed tools and equipment. Using child scissors is a great way for the children to develop their fine motor skills. Can you make snips in the paper?
We would love you to upload an ILD observation of your child exploring different materials, let us know the words they have used to describe the different textures. .
