Have a look at our exciting learning.
This week we are thinking about keeping clean especially our hands.
Today we are learning about what our hands can do.
Remember to keep them clean and germ free when you have finished using them.
Talk about the things you can do with your hands.
Have some fun doing you’re favourite thing with your hands.
Today we are enjoying singing Nursery rhymes and finding rhyming words. Lets start with the Grand Old Duke of York.
Can you retell this nursery rhyme using the story map?
Can you clap hands with someone in your house as you sing pat-a-cake.
Can you find any words that rhyme with clap? (flap, cap, tap, gap, lap, map, rap, yap)
Today we are practicing writing our names so lets warm up our arms first.
Can you practice drawing bubbles in the air, use a ribbon, tea towel, a sock or any small bit of material to move your arm in a circle anti clockwise (The wrong way around the clock)
Now practice writing your name and decorate it with bubbles.
Remember to hold your pencil in a correct pinch near the bottom.
Remember to draw the bubbles anti clockwise.

Today’s activity is once again, ordering objects by length, building upon yesterday’s learning. The idea is to use pictures of towels. Draw two or three towels of different lengths and ask your child to cut them out and arrange them in order of length, from shortest to longest and then afterwards from longest to shortest, like this:
Then ask your child to think of ways to decorate each towel differently, bright patterns might be nice like beach towels. Once they are decorated, encourage your child to arrange the towels in length order again, shortest to longest first and longest to shortest after, like this:
You can then ask questions about the towels, such as:
What pattern is on the longest towel?
How long is the towel with the banana on it?
What pattern is on the medium length towel?
What pattern is on the longest towel?
Which towel is your favourite towel? How long is it?
Then set your child challenges such as:
Put your finger on the longest towel.
Put a pencil on the shortest towel.
Put a toy on the medium towel.
Have fun with the challenges and send us photos of your ideas to:

It’s time to show off your fitness skills! As our theme is happy and healthy, this activity is going to really motivate you for the day.
So it is time to put on the music and run!
To do this activity it involves putting two objects either side of the garden (if the rain holds off) or anywhere in your home that is ideal. These objects can be; you’re 2 favourite toys, a pair of shoes or 2 t-shirts. Just something to mark off where you are going to run to.
Here’s the song for you!
Cool Down.
Talk to the children and ask them …
– How do you feel?
– What has happened to your body?
– Can you feel your heart beating?
– Why is your heart beating?
– How is it beating fast or slow?
It is important to talk about how our body changes once we exercise, but also important we cool down to calm the body.
So here are some cool down exercises:
I hope you are all feeling motivated for today and have a good Tuesday! Send us your pictures and smiles on contactnursery@holbrook.coventry.sch.uk
Healthy hands
Today as part of our Keeping clean topic we are learning about keeping our hands clean. This is especially important as this time with the Coronavirus.
We must remember to wash our hands every time we leave and return home as well as after the usual times when we have been to the toilet and before and after we eat for at least 20 seconds using soap.
Here is a video to help you
Can you tell an adult how to wash your hands?
Stay clean and safe.
Today we are keeping our fingers active with funky fingers.
Enjoy warming up your arms to, I can move my body.
Today we are threading onto a stick. Can you find a straw, chopstick, kebab stick or something similar.
Can you thread something onto them like:- Cheerios, pasta or beads. (I tried Shreddies but it was very messy!)
