What a busy week in Nursery. We are very proud of our Nursery children who were with us last year, they continue to show the new children what to do! They are following our routines, using our visual timetable, using pictures to help each other put things where they belong and using the communication boards placed in our areas to help them. As new children join, please encourage your child to continue this.
We continue with our language screening assessment, Draw a Person assessment and as part of our TLLT assessments, I complete a baseline within 2 weeks of beginning Nursery. We are very busy!
Lots of the skills we are working on at the moment include listening and following simple instructions, asking for help if they need it, beginning to take turns in areas both indoors and outdoors and following our play routine – Choose it, Use it, Put it Away! And all while we live out our Newham Bridge Values – Inspire, Enjoy, Achieve!
Joining, mark making, filling containers, building, rolling and pouring. Lots of language rich activities in Nursery.
Observing, cutting, placing and mark making.
Listening, following instructions, jumping in different directions and hoop control!
Carrying, bending, scooping, filling, pushing, stirring, twisting and emptying.
And after such a busy week, a little treat for the children for coming to Nursery everyday. We have new 100% attendance stickers off Mrs Barker too! Very cool!
Phonics and Oracy
This week we have been making sounds with our voices and bodies. Lots of clapping and tapping.
We continue to practise these Nursery Rhymes in phonics. Please practise them at home too.
