The Naughty Bus

Lots of children in Nursery have shown an interest in transport so this week we have begun to think about different ways that we can travel. We had a look in our 'talking tub' and the children were able to tell us what they already know about different types of transport. We will now plan some activities to help them to learn new facts about transport. We have enjoyed reading the story of 'The Naughty Bus' which is all about a little boy who is given a toy bus. His bus is a London bus and drives near tall buildings. Some of the children have enjoyed using our building blocks to build a mini London. In this story we see lots of funny things that the bus does including riding on the dog, falling into the pond and driving through baked beans. The children have enjoyed recreating some of these scenes from the book using our toy buses. For our Phonics learning we have been singing a song about 'Bertha the bus' going to the zoo and thinking about the initial phonemes of some of the animals that she sees in the zoo. In Maths we have been using language to compare groups of objects thinking about which group has more and which group has fewer.
