This week at Grays' Farm - W/B 02/12
Week Beginning: 02 December 2019
NURSERY
Our story this week is about “The Ginger Bread man”. Using story sacks to encourage language and discussions.
We will be learning to order 1st, 2nd 3rd and so on. We will be exploring different sizes. The children will be trying a science experiment, to find out what would happen if the gingerbread man had gone into the stream? This helps children to make predictions and test out their findings.
Please continue putting your observations on Tapestry so we may share them with the children.
RECEPTION
This week in Reception we will be continuing to revise our phonics sounds and learning the new sounds x, y and z. We will be continuing to learn tricky words and introducing the new words my and was. For our maths learning we have a special visitor (a naughty elf) who is going to be helping us use positional language. The children will have to try and spot where he is in the classroom each day and then describe his position!
We will be doing lots of nativity practise this week ready for the show next week so please make sure your child’s costume is in school. The performance to Reception parents will be on TUESDAY 10th DECEMBER. The children will also have performances on the 9th and 11th of December.
Finally, if you did not attend the phonics workshop last week and did not receive a pack of resources, please ask a member of the team and they can provide you with one. Thank you to all those who attended and especially those who provided feedback - it was our best turn out yet and we hope you found it useful!
