TARGET GAME

The children have taken part in the maths activity today, which involved throwing the balls at the targets. They have learnt a new skill which was to throw the ball under arm! Well done boys and girls this can be tricky tricky.

Funky Fingers and Writing

The children are joining in with the ribbon activity for funky fingers as they practise their letter formation, Mrs Simonds chose S for slither down the snake. Also some of the children are starting their daily exercise dairy and practising their numbers and name. Well done everybody!

What a great start to our keeping fit theme this week, keep up the good work nursery. See you all tomorrow.

WELL DONE to all the children at Holbrook Primary School for all your effort in taking part in this pass the jumper challenge.

Can you spot any of your friends!

For our number activity today and linking with our new theme keeping fit. We are going to play a Number Target Game, let’s go outside boys and girls and hit that target!

You can use some chalk to draw 3 circles onto the pavement with 1,2,3 inside. Or you can use some paper instead of chalk and put it onto the ground with 1,2,3 on.

• 

• 

Now you have your 1,2,3 circles with chalk or your pieces of paper with 1,2,3 on, it’s time to throw the ball onto the target!

We would like you to start with number 1, so you can count upwards 1, 2 and 3. Then we would like you to count backwards so start on number 3 and count 3, 2 and 1. If you miss the target then try again, practise makes perfect!

Miss Woodward would like to link in the children’s P.E skills within this activity and would like you to encourage the children to throw under arm not over arm, it helps with control with the hand and eye coordination.

Today we are re-reading one of our favourite stories Goldilocks. You can sing the song then retell our story map. Then I want you to predict (What you think will happen next?)

Goldilocks and the three bears

Once upon a time there was a girl called Goldilocks who had curly yellow hair.

One morning Goldilocks was walking in the woods and found a house.

First Goldilocks knocked on the door but there was no one there.

So Goldilocks went into the kitchen where she saw 3 bowls of porridge.

The big bowl of porridge was too hot. The middle size bowl of porridge was too cold, but the small bowl of porridge was just right

Next Goldilocks went to the lounge where she saw three chairs.

The big chair was too hard.  The middle size chair was too soft but the small chair was just right.

Suddenly the chair broke.

After Goldilocks went upstairs to the bedroom where she saw 3 beds.

The big bed was too hard, the middle size bed was too soft but the small bed was just right.

Then she went to sleep in the small bed.

Later the three bears came home and went into the kitchen where they saw the three bowls.

Daddy bear said who’s been eating my porridge, Mummy bear said who’s been eating my porridge, and Baby bear said who’s been eating my porridge and it’s all gone

Next they went to the lounge where they saw the three chairs

Daddy bear said who’s been sitting in my chair, Mummy bear said who’s been sitting in my chair, and Baby bear said who’s been sitting in my chair and it’s broken.

After they went to the bedroom where they saw the three beds

Daddy bear said who’s been sleeping in my bed, Mummy bear said who’s been sleeping in my bed, and Baby bear said who’s been sleeping in my bed and she’s still here.

Suddenly they went ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! and Goldilocks ran all the way home.

What do you think Goldilocks is going to do next?

This week we are learning about keeping fit and healthy. While we have been home we have been enjoying bike rides and playing on the scooter. Enjoy this song about riding a bike.

Today we are going to look at a new book by the same author (The man who write the book) Eric Carl.

It’s called the mixed up chameleon

Do you have any books by the same author at home? Here are two I found.

Todays activity is all about how heavy or light. Here is a short clip to help explain what heavy and light mean.

Our activity is about how heavy or light vegetables are. You will need some vegetables from the fridge, cupboard or freezer and two bags to weigh them in.

I took some vegetables out of my fridge and then chose two different kinds, to weigh in the bags.

First I started with the carrots and the red pepper.

I put the carrots in one bag, the red pepper in the other bag and held each bag in my hands to see what the weight felt like. I asked myself, Which vegetable feels the lightest? Which vegetable feels the heaviest?

Next I chose the red onions and the mushrooms.

I put the red onions in one bag, the mushrooms in the other bag and held each bag in my hands to see what the weight felt like. I asked myself, Which vegetable feels the lightest? Which vegetable feels the heaviest?

Have fun weighing and talking about the vegetables with your family.
