Nursery
Letter to Parents
21st May 2021
Dear Parents/Carers,
We have had another busy week in Nursery as we learnt about the traditional tale of the week; ‘Goldilocks and the 3 Bears’.
We have:
- shared different versions of the story
- begun to learn about the sizes small / smallest / medium / big / biggest in maths
- in phonics, we continued to learn about alliteration as we found objects that beginning with the same sound e.g. pig, peg, pen
- we made models using junk modelling for D&T
- and we also took part in National Nursery Rhyme Day
EYFS Curriculum
Next week we be doing the following:
Literacy - We will continue to learn about the story of ‘Goldilocks and the 3 Bears’ as we finish our book ‘Dear Fairy Godmother’
Letters and Sounds – We will be focusing on rhyming words as we play silly soup.
Mathematics – We will continue to compare sizes as we use the vocabulary small / smallest / medium / big / biggest
Little Reminders
- Packed lunches: If your child has packed lunches, please also remember to provide a drink.
- Reading books: Please remember to return your child’s picture book to school, in the plastic wallet, each Wednesday so it can be changed.
- Half Term: We break up next Friday (28th May) for 2 weeks. School reopens on Monday 14th June.
Have a lovely weekend and we will see you all next week.
