🌟 Weekly Learning Update: The Gingerbread Man & Summer Fun! 🌟

Dear Parents and Guardians,

In Nursery we had been doing a lot of new learning. To support your child whilst you are at home, here are some activities you can try:

πŸ“– Story of the Week

This week, our class has been exploring the classic tale of The Gingerbread Man. You can watch and listen to the story together here: πŸ”— The Gingerbread Man Story Video, to support your child you could even discuss the story afterwards, focusing on your child using full sentences.

🎡 Nursery Rhyme Practice

We are also practicing our singing and rhythm with Row, Row, Row Your Boat. Encourage your child to sing along and copy the actions: πŸ”— Row, Row, Row Your Boat Video

β˜€οΈ Sunny Weather Activities

As the weather is getting warmer, here are two interactive activities to try at home this week:

  • Sink or Float Water Play: If you have a paddling pool (or even using the bathtub or a bowl!), gather a few safe household objects. Before dropping them in the water, ask your child to guess: Will it sink or float? This is a fantastic introduction to early science concepts!
  • Cardboard Box Vehicles: Let’s get creative! Use any spare cardboard boxes, toilet rolls, bottles you have at home to design and build a vehicle (like a car, boat, or train).

We would love to see your creations and water play adventures! Please feel free to share photos or videos of your child’s activities on our platform.

Have a lovely, sunny day!
