Chilly fun!












We were very excited to arrive at nursery and find the cold weather had produced lots of ice. We used it to explore mark making, compare sizes and how to assess risk.

Activities for Tuesday 10 January 2023
While nursery is closed for the day, here are a few activities you may wish to try.
Activity 1
Nursery Rhymes – spend some time singing nursery rhymes with your child, here are some familiar ones.
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
couldn’t put Humpty together again. (x3)
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive,
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right
Baa baa black sheep
Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!
One for the master, one for the dame,
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane
Activity 2
Write out numerals from 0-10 and ask you child which ones they recognise, can they sort them into the correct order. If you hide one number can your child tell you which one is missing?

Activity 3
Use lego or coloured building blocks to practice making patterns.


Activity 4
Collect items from around the house and make up stories together. Can your child draw a picture to accompany the story?
Activity 5

Self portraits.














This week we have been working on our fine motor skills and drawing faces with detail. We used Mrs Willison’s mirror to study our faces before drawing our self-portrait.
Searching for signs of spring.




While we were helping Mrs Hardman clear the garden, we looked for signs of spring. We found new daffodil shoots coming through the ground.

Curious Cats
Sharing and turn taking.










We were learning to be respectful rhinos while having fun playing with the big cars. We practiced turn taking and sharing with our friends.
