Let’s get started – Julia Donaldson is one of our favourite authors in nursery most of her characters go on a journey! We are going to explore her this World Book Day!

Look at us in our live lesson-

We talked about our favourite book, we had to guess the character hiding in the Witch’s cauldron, we sang songs and listened to Room on the Broom! What fun!

Watch Julia Donaldson act out one of our favourite stories- The Gruffalo

What about a Gruffalo Yoga session

Let’s Get Making

Why not make a mask or a model of one of these stories, send your pictures in!

Or cook your own Gruffalo Crumble, Scrambled Snake, Owl Ice-Cream or Roasted Fox! Ooooohhhh Yummy!

Writing & drawing activity- Draw your favourite story character and your favourite part in the story. Try and colour it the right colour. Why is it your favourite?

This book does not have to be a Julia Donaldson book. Send your pictures to the ILD so I can see what your favourite story is.

Philosophy 4 Children

Imagine in the woods there was a huge picnic of the Julia Donaldson story characters. Now use the story dice, can you argue why the character you turn on the dice should be allowed to attend the picnic. Even if they are a bad character, can you find a positive reason? Or will you say that they can’t go? You can print the dice here!

Ms Grieve will help with that right here!

Step 3- Raid your recycling bin for items to make your model. What will you use for windows, doors?

Step 4- How will you join it together, we often find masking tape works well at nursery.

Step 5- Can you paint it?

Step 6- Send a picture into the interactive learning diary, we want to see your models.

Draw a picture of somewhere you like to go! How do you travel there, do you walk, drive, cycle, take a bus, or tube. Draw this in your picture! Why do you like going to this place!

Cooking Task

In nursery this term we normally focus on cooking. It is a fantastic way for nursery children to try new foods and learn the importance of hygiene and healthy eating.

Remember first

The BBC Food Website has lots of friendly kids recipes to explore!

Easy recipes for kids – BBC Food

To support this topic we also encourage children to think about healthy eating, healthy choices!

Let’s write a healthy shopping list! Alternatively if you do not know your letter sounds. Draw your own list. What would you like to buy?

shopping-listDownload

Natural Thinkers – Lets go outside!

As a natural thinkers school our children will be learning about and exploring planting and growing food to cook! How exciting! This is also time to explore Spring!

Go on a journey into your garden, or to the park, or any green space! Have a look in the flower beds! Make sure you look carefully. Are they plants still sleeping for winter or do you notice some buds on the plants and some flowers emerging out of the ground! It is the very beginning of Spring so it might be hard to see but it’s great to investigate. Take a photo if you discover anything!

Maths activity

What numbers have you got? Can you sort them? Can you sort them another way?

Now look at the numbers, can you recognise any?

Which coin do you like the most and why?

What do you like to buy? What does your family like to buy?

Remember when you finish with the coins it’s time to wash your hands just like Peppa Pig!

Computing games to support learning

Toy Shop Money Game (GBP) – 4 to 11 year olds – Topmarks

Work on 1p up to 10p but remember matching amounts is tricky so I would not expect nursery children to go beyond 5.

Coins Game for 4-10 year olds (topmarks.co.uk)

On this game choose the sorting option, with one coin.

Outside Maths

We are looking at environmental print this week. When you go outside please see what numbers you find on your journey, where were they? Take a notebook with you and record your ideas!

Numbertime

Have a look at the coins again. Play the heads/tails game!

Story Time

Tuesday 23rd February- Local Journeys

Let’s start with a song – Use your fingers to hold the correct count of currant buns.

As an extra challenge, pause the song at each point, can you work out how many pennies are in the till?

Maths – Recording Amounts with Ms Grieve

Exercise and rhyme time-

Let’s learn about rhyme!

Exploring Rhyme

Circles Group– Here is the rhyme challenge that we are working on this term. How many do you know all the way through?

Can your adult sing and you identify the rhyming word at the end of the line like

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great ——

Recognising Rhyme

This group needs to begin to hear the similarities in words. In this game they need to find the matching sounds. Do not move onto a new sound until your child hears the rhyme. Start with the ‘at’ rhyme.

Cake Bake (phonicsplay.co.uk)

Do not move onto the challenge task until you can play this game with greater confidence.

Rhyme Challenge

This is tricky but to achieve this challenge, children need to not only hear the rhyme but generate their own rhymes. Play this memory game to help them hear rhymes, when they find a pair can they generate another rhyming word that sounds the same, it can be a real or a fake word, as long as it has the same sounds. For example they find ‘cat & bat’- it rhymes they might say ‘sat or lat’ to continue the rhyming string.

Watch Ms Grieve play it here!

Or cut out these rhyming strips to make your game.

Circles-

Find a box in the recycle bin , cut it into four or five pieces, can you join it together again?

Rubies- Cut your box into 8 or 9 pieces, join it back together! Do you recognise any letters on the box, do you remember any of their sounds?

Emeralds- To develop own decoding skills explore this book.

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zbghXXokSzlVEEDLXMZsycXtmrkVSAudzM_ctNgq3ks/edit?usp=sharing

1. Look at the picture first, what is happening, talk about it.
2. Point to the word. Say the sounds. Make the sounds long.
3. Can you hear what the word is?

Writing- Don’t forget your pencil grip!

Circles – Can you draw these signs & logos that focus on circles and lines?

Rubies and Emeralds

Have a look at the logos we looked at earlier. I want both groups to draw three of their favourite logos. Just have a go! It doesn’t have to be perfect. I would like to know what logos you can read.

Story Time

After each explanation pause and chat to your adult. Is she telling the truth. How did you come to that decision? Give a ‘because’ in a whole sentence!

P4C (Philosophy for Children)

In the story there are a few lies told, was the girl trying to tell a lie to be unkind? Listen to Spot & Stripe think about lies in more detail?
