Good Morning Nursery
You should have received email communication from your class teacher regarding your SGL calls this morning. We look forward to seeing you in our calls.
Wake up Music
Learning focus
Our learning focus today is the story ‘We’re going on a Bear Hunt’. The family in the story go through different obstacles to finally arrive home safe and sound. We like the positional words over, under and through. If you look carefully, you will spot the Bear who travels with them throughout the beautiful day?”

You may recognise some of your teachers from the nursery here in the FSN version;
Communication and Language has three key aspects. Listening and attention, understanding and speaking. These aspects are interlinked but developmentally children learn to listen and attend first. When listening to stories, we check that children can look intently and are engaged. We might ask if they can recall information that they have heard. You can ask open questions like…
What might happen next?
How did the characters in the story feel?
Who is your favourite character?’
Why don't you try a bear hunt at home? You could use a teddy bear or a different toy. It might be the same as the story or you could use your own ideas to make it different. Here are some ideas to help you;
Remember to help your child to use the language from the story; over, under, through and repeat the phrases.
Promoting independence
Can you use a spoon to feed yourself at lunchtime?
Active learning
Playdough fun
This recipe uses boiling water, so your child will need to watch rather than help with adding the water until it is cool enough to handle.
Let’s get our fingers moving by using your play dough to try some dough disco;
Physical development includes fine motor skills where we use the muscles in our shoulders, arms, wrists, hands and fingers. Good fine motor skills enable your child to gain more and more control and coordination of a pen. Developing strong fine motor skills now, is the foundation for building handwriting at later stages of development.
Storytime
Stories are a fantastic tool to develop communication skills. Our youngest children enjoy the familiarity of books and revisiting their favourite stories time and time again. Here are our Nursery bookshelves. (Click on open in google docs, next click on slideshow, then your child can choose a story from the shelf).
Goodbye
We love to see your learning
What could you share on Seesaw today?
We would love to see videos or photos of your child enjoying or acting out the story or joining in with some playdough disco.
You are not limited to the ideas on the blog. Your child may have displayed a skill for the first time, such as putting on their socks, or riding a bike? We love sharing these kind of experiences and achievements too!
Have great day of learning from home.
