Nursery: What is your favourite Nursery Rhyme? Can you sing it?

This week in Nursery we have enjoyed World Nursery Rhyme Week. We joined in with the challenge to learn a new nursery rhyme each day. On Monday we learnt ‘Hickory Dickory Dock’ and we enjoyed drawing rhyme maps to remember all 4 verses exploring the different rhyming words, e.g., two and boo or three and wee. On Tuesday we focussed on ‘Doctor Foster’ which was a rhyme that many of the children did not know. We had fun role playing as doctors and making purposeful marks to record the treatment of our patients. We also had a fantastic visit from Roman’s mummy who shared her lovely rhyme box. We enjoyed a super rhyme time session. On Wednesday we sang ‘Pussy cat, Pussy Cat’ and sequenced pictures to retell the rhyme. On Thursday we sang the rhyme ‘Row Row Row your Boat’ and created our own rhyme maps thinking about the different animals that you could see if you rowed your boat to shore. We also had lots of our families join us for Early Bird sessions and it was lovely to share different rhyming activities altogether. On Friday, the children came to Nursery dressed as their favourite nursery rhyme character and we were very proud when lots of the children sang their chosen rhyme in front of their friends! We also enjoyed sharing the ‘12345 Once I Caught a Fish Alive’ rhyme.
