What type of home do you live in? Is your home near to school or far away?

This week in Nursery, we have been continuing to think about different types of homes.  The children have been making models of their homes and talking about the different features in their houses. We have also been thinking about whether our homes are near to school or further away. We have also been learning about our senses. We have learnt that different parts of our bodies can be used to explore the world around us. We use our hands to touch objects, our ears to hear sounds, our eyes to look at things, our noses to smell scents and our mouths to taste food.

The children have also continued to engage with The Little Wandle Foundations for Phonics lessons. We have all learnt the phoneme sound ‘a’ this week. We enjoyed playing different games to practice saying and hearing this sound. Bertha the Bus went to the zoo and found lots of animals beginning with ‘a’ including an ant, anteater, axolotl and alligator. Can you find any objects in your house beginning with a? We would love to see some photographs! We have also been developing our fine and gross motor skills, having learnt our new moves for Dough Disco and Squiggle while you Wiggle. Please practice these at home!
