It’s David Attenborough’s 95th birthday today! – BBC Newsround
The morning Nursery children were also lucky to have a visit from Sarah the Vet and her Veterinary Nurse Katie this week. They showed us some equipment they use to help the animals and they talked about looking after different pets. They brought in some huge toy dogs for us to cuddle, we loved them!
In Maths, we have been comparing objects using the maths vocabulary, big and small. Some children have been using different sized containers in the water and using the vocabulary full and empty.
In Music, we have been listening to music that makes us feel different ways. We listened to Pharrel Williams’ song Happy and we were singing songs with different feelings! Excited, sad, tired, angry and happy!
In Science this week, we were learning about animals and David Attenborough.
In PE, we are learning to play attack and defence games and this week we played ball tag. It was lots of fun!
The skill we are encouraging this week is turn-taking. We talk about turn-taking with Nursery toys and also turn-taking in conversations. This is our Oracy turn-taking reminder…
Haven’t we been busy this week!
