Week Beginning 11.05.20
Friday 15.5.2020
Happy Friday everybody.
We have had another busy week of learning Nursery. I hope you have all enjoyed our story of the week 'We're going on a bear hunt'.
Todays rhyme is called 'Teddy bears picnic'
Click on link below
Activity idea - Make a cave/den for your bear
Can you make a cave or den for your bear that you chose on Monday. With an adult look around your house for resources you can use. For example cushions, sheets, an empty box, sticks. Below are a few ideas.
Activity idea - Play hide and seek with your teddy bear. (Bear hunt)
This activity is to encourage the children to use positional language. Introduce the words on top, next to, behind, under.
Adult hide bear. For example behind a door. Ask your child to count to 10 and then look for bear. When they find bear ask them to describe where it was. Repeat.
Activity idea - Bear picture.
If you haven't had a go at making a picture of a bear perhaps you could have a go today. We would love to see your pictures. You could use crayons, paint, collage, playdough or maybe some resources from outside.
Activity idea - Ice boats
This is a lovely idea I saw that you might want to have a go at over the next few days. It looks like fun.
Have a good day everybody and enjoy your weekend.

A big hello from Miss Braun and Miss Hopton.
We miss seeing you all everyday at Nursery. We are so proud of you all for working so hard at home. Keep sending us the photographs of all the amazing work and activities you are doing. They put a smile on our faces and brighten up our day. We loved your story maps yesterday. This is a picture of Abigail's story map.
Todays rhyme is Mary Mary
Have a look outside. Can you see any flowers growing? What else can you see and hear?
Activity
Today I would like you to think about the bear in the story.
How would we describe the bear?
Can you draw or paint a picture of the bear?
Children often like to talk about if the bear is friendly or if he was chasing the family. Some children say the bear might be lonely. How do you think the bear was feeling?
Where does the bear live?
Do you think the bear in the story has a name? What could it be?
With an adult can you find out any information about bears.
If you have the book at home have a go at reading the story to somebody in your house.
Enjoy your day
Miss Braun and Miss Hopton xx

Hello everybody.
I hope you all enjoyed the story 'We're going on a bear hunt' yesterday. Today we are going to do some more activities linked to the story.
Yesterday you were all really clever at moving and dancing to the dinosaur song. Lets start today with a song about Dinosaurs. Some children might remember singing this song at Nursery. Its called 'Once there was a dinosaur'.
Once there was a dinosaur.
(Tune –Twinkle Twinkle little star.)
Once there was a dinosaur,
And all he did was roar and roar.
He roared high and he roared low.
He roared fast and he roared slow.
Once there was a dinosaur,
And all he did was roar and roar!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Activity
Revisit the story from yesterday.
Today we are going to talk about all of the places that the family go during their bear hunt.
Can you find some of these areas in your garden? Swishy swashy grass, thick ooozy mud, a pile of sticks.
At school we will often pretend to go on a bear hunt outside whilst we repeat the story. The children really enjoy it and it brings the story to life. We use pieces of material, pictures on paper or trays with water, mud, grass inside. You might want to have a go at this together.
Activity ideas linked to writing/mark making.
I have put some pictures below of activities you may want to do with your child during the week.
Activity ideas -Scissors
- Cutting pictures out of old cards, magazines.
- Cutting along cabbage leaves
- Cutting spaghetti
Dough disco. Click on link below

Monday 11.5.2020
Good Morning everybody.
Happy Monday. I hope you all had a good weekend. The weather was beautiful on Friday and Saturday. From today I have started to put the daily activities under weekly tabs eg week beginning 11.5.2020. Please remember to also look at the phonics, number and other sections of our Nursery page for daily activities and ideas. These are located under school closure and then click on the page you would like to look at.
When we are at Nursery the children and teachers have lots of fun moving and dancing to cbeebies "Boogie Beebies". Today I have chosen one for our movement and rhyme.
It is called 'Do the Dino'. The children always make me laugh and smile when we do this together. Click on the link below
This week our book of the week is 'Were Going on a Bear Hunt' by Michael Rosen.
This is a book I think lots of you will have at home. I know that lots of children in our Nursery enjoy this story so we are going to base our learning on this story this week.
Activity
Today read the story together either with the book or by watching the video. Click on the link below.
Can children join in with the repeated phrases?
Can they remember what happens next in the story?
What did the family find in the cave?
Today Nursery have a look in your house for your favorite teddy. Can you tell me its name? Can you draw, or paint a picture of your teddy. Later on in the week we are going to go on a bear hunt, so we are going to need your teddy to help us re-tell the story.
Have a good day everybody. I look forward to seeing or hearing about your work later. Keep smiling
