Hi everybody

We hope you are all well and have enjoyed half term.

Our book this week is ‘The monkey with the bright blue bottom.’

The monkey was very cheeky using the paints!

🐵I wander if you can use lots of different colours and paint some animals?

🐵Can you paint with different size paintbrushes and look at the different patterns each brush makes.

🐵Can you dip string in the paint and make patterns with the string.

🐵Can you have a go at bubble painting?

DIRECTIONS FOR BUBBLE PAINTING

1. Add three tablespoons of bubble solution and two tablespoons of paint to a cup.
2. Mix the paint and bubble solution together.
3. Place a piece of paper on the grass or a table.
4. Dip the bubble wand or a straw into the bubble paint and then blow out bubbles so they land on the paper.

🐵When you go for a walk, maybe you could collect some leaves, or a pretty snowdrop and then draw or paint a picture of it when you get home.

🐵Look at different animals and talk about their colours and the patterns on them.

The stripes on a zebra, the squares on the giraffe, the spots on the leopard and many more.

🐵When you go for a walk, can you see patterns anywhere?  On drain covers, bricks, doors, and many more?

🐵Can you look at lots of animals and think about where they live, would you see them in a zoo, or at the farm, in the jungle? What do they eat?  What noise do they make? Are they tall, short, tiny, huge?  Have the animals got fur? Or scales, feathers?

🐵I wander if you could look at a map and think about where the animals live in the world.

🐵We hope you all have a lovely week and we look forward to hearing from you all.

Take care

Love from everyone in nursery.

Hi children and families

We hope you have had a good week.

This week we have planned activities around the book “Mr Wolf’s Pancakes”.

Here is a video of us reading the story.  We hope you enjoy it.

🥞Do you think the characters were kind to Mr. Wolf?  How do you think that made Mr.  Wolf feel?

🥞Below is a link to the nursery rhyme ‘Wee Willie Winkie’

🥞Below is a link to the nursery rhyme ‘Old Mother Hubbard’

🥞Can you make your own pancakes?

110g flour, 2 eggs, 200ml milk.

You can add different toppings on your pancakes.  I wonder what your favourite is?

🥞  You could use food colouring and syrup and a new brush to paint patterns and colours on your pancake.

🥞  Can you draw circles, like  a pancake and cut around them carefully with scissors?  Maybe you could pretend play with frying pans, whisk, jug, spatula.

🥞  Can you see other round shapes around your house?  Maybe a wheel, a clock, a plate and I’m sure many more things.

🥞  Can you think of something to use as pretend money, maybe milk carton lids?  You could count the lids.  Can you count up to 10?  I wonder if you can count lots of other things in your home.

🥞You could play shops at home, set up items to sell, use money and a purse, a till and a shopping bag.  I wonder what you will buy from your shop?

🥞Can you look for numbers around your house and have a look how many numbers you can see when you go for a walk?

🥞Did you notice the characters in the book? Gingerbread man, 3 little pigs, Little Red Riding Hood.  I’m sure you can tell those stories all by yourself.

🥞Below is a link to the story of Chicken Licken.

🥞We hope you enjoy some of these activities and we look forward to hearing from you.

Take care, we hope you all have a good week.

• Have you got something red that you can wear and pretend to be Little Red Riding Hood skipping to Grandma’s house?
• 
• Can you look at your eyes, ears, teeth in the mirror, and then look at your family’s  eyes and talk about the shape and colour of them?
• 
• Can you look at colouring pencils and use them to make pictures of the characters from the story?  I wander if you can draw the Wolfs big eyes, big ears and big teeth?
