Hello Nursery.I hope you have all had a safe Easter, enjoying the sunshine and your chocolate with your family.Here are some more fun activities for you to do at home.I am looking forward to seeing your photos and keeping in touch through our class emails.Keep safe everyone and stay well.Mrs Piggott8572511176000 Do you know this story? Do you have a copy at home? If not you can watch it together on YouTube (link below). you go on your very own bear hunt? Hide a teddy in your house or garden and create your very own bear hunt...You could use cushions to climb overA table to crawl underRecreate the story using the repeated language together. Have fun!234315017716500You could then do this activity…43053006286500Water painting Grab yourselves a cup or bucket and fill with water. Use any paintbrushes you have available: scrubbing brushes/ mops / brooms, paint brushes, toothbrushes, dish brushes, etcGet painting the wall, the fence, the path, the patio - you can practise name writing and making patterns or picturesPhonics activities We’re going to focus on phase one, which is all about recognising and remembering different types of sounds (environmental sounds, animal sounds, instrument sounds and even letter sounds) and this is perfect preparation for Phase 2.?We’re going to go on a sound hunt. Your home and garden has many different sounds (and you can make some extra ones too on your phone). Think about any noisy objects in your house and where they are. For some children you could help them hear and say letter sounds.So the first thing we’re going to do is listen...what can we hear? Can we find it? (This could be a household item or a sound you’ve set up) when we find it we celebrate “well done it’s a c-l-o-ck clock” (for some children see if they can hear what you’re sounding out and sound the word out with you, for younger children still sound the word clock out but then follow with the word clock). What other things do you have in your house you could hide that make sounds that you can find that you could then sound out? Noisy toys, appliances, the doorbell, a telephone, the wind outside, etcFurther sound walk activities are:Can we find something that sounds like a train (make the chugging sound) and see where your children’s imagination leads them (it might be a train they find, or point to the kettle, or something else in your house). You can try this with a variety of different familiar objectsCan we find something that rhymes with hair (chair, bear, stair) what other things can you think of?How many things can we find beginning with “b” (use the sound rather than the letter name)What are my children learning? They’re learning how to tune in and listen and to follow their senses to find where the sound is coming from, they are remembering sounds, they are hearing and saying sounds in words, but most of all they’re having fun with you - their favourite person ?Rhyming and alliteration - two really important aspects of phase one. It’s really important for children to recognise rhyming words and to continue a rhyming string. Alliteration is when there are lots of words beginning with the same sound, for example “six sizzling sausages” or “Peter Piper picked a piece of pickled pepper”. Dr Suess books are great for rhyming and alliteration, tune into Miss Taylor’s Storytime where she can be found reading some of them. Fox in Socks is a good example: reading these stories pause where the rhyming word goes and see if your children can say the rhyming word, talk to them about something rhyming because it sounds the same. Talk about alliteration and emphasise the beginning sound. Once you’ve shared a rhyming story or a story with lots of alliteration how many silly rhymes can you make up together about your daily activities? Can you make up silly rhymes using alliteration? How long can you keep a rhyming string going? (Nonsense words are fine too)“Mummy’s making mushrooms with the monsters” Talk in rhyme throughout the day - don’t worry if it sounds silly! “Put your toys in a pile and make mummy smile!”, “It’s a nice day, let’s go out and play.”A nice little idea for your daily walk (if you’re having one if not you can do this around the outside of your home), how about taking some rubbings? Trees, paths, fences, etc. Take some paper out with you and a few wax crayons. Talk about how different things feel and whether they are “bumpy” or “smooth” what other words can children use to describe how they feel.?444817547498000You could also collect some things on the way - sticks, stones, leaves, etc and allow children to be creative making collages, sticking them to their rubbings they have made. Can we find some large stones that we could take home and paint? This is a fun activity… Maths challengesIf you’re managing to get out for some daily exercise why not set some challenges? (If you’re not able to get out do you have a garden or outside space you can do this in?)Can you pick me 5 daisies? Encourage counting aloud.Let’s find 3 different leaves - why are they different?296227535623500Collect some sticks and talk about the similarities / differences - this one is longer / heavier / shorter, etc.Can you measure with your stick?And don’t forget to log into Numbots! ................
