Hello Nursery Children and adults, I hope you enjoyed some of the Dear Zoo activities from last week.

This week we will look at the song ‘5 Little Ducks’.  Mrs Ryan has also recorded a message for you and she needs your help to find Ted!

Have fun,

Hello and find the Teddy from Mrs Ryan

Have a go at hiding you own Teddy (toys).  Give clues how to find him.  Send photos of where your Teddy was hiding to Mrs Ryan – Nursery@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk

Ted begins with ‘t’.  Have a look around your home and see what other things you can find that begin with the sound ‘t’.
