Have a look at our exciting learning.
Lets start off with a funky fingers and get ourselves warmed up!
Now we are all warmed up, it’s time to do our write dance. For our write dance today we are going to draw a frog on a log.
Remember your pinchy pinchy fingers and to draw a circle anti clockwise.
Send in your frog on the log – Contactnursery@holbrook.coventry.sch.uk
This week we have a new story that we will be focusing on it is called Oi Frog.
Great listening boys and girls.
Can you now answer these questions about the story?
The children have enjoyed making and decorating ladybird biscuits to link with our theme of minibeasts. We hope you had lots to talk about with your grown ups as you were busy with this activity. They look fabulous!
After watching and joining in with a fun song and video to get their bodies moving, the children were ready to write their names and decorate them with pictures of minibeasts. Fantastic, funky fingers!
Using objects to represent a total number of elephants, then moving them around and knowing that the total number remained the same. Wonderful maths skills!
Enjoying another of Eric Carle’s stories to finish off the week. We hope you were able to talk about the story after listening to it very carefully and answer questions about it too.
Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful learning with us today Nursery.
Have a wonderful weekend and see you all next week.

Another amazing day in nursery making snails and bug homes. We have found worms, drawn butterflies with the chalk and been drawing caterpillars the correct length and writing numbers. Well done we really have been busy bees.
Today’s activity is like Tuesday’s maths activity. We are going to have a group of objects to count and then move them around, count them again and know that the total amount is still the same.
To link with the story for this week, ‘Monkey Puzzle’, we are going to use elephants for the counting activity.
You will need:
4 elephants (or pictures, pompoms, Lego etc)
a river for the elephants
4 paper circles
number cards 3 and 4
First of all you need to count out three elephants, find the number 3 digit card and put one elephant onto each of the circles. Like this:
Count the elephants, one, two, three. Now move the elephants around on the circles. Like this:
Count the elephants again. There are still three, even though the elephants have been moved, none have been added, none have been taken away, the total is still three.
Now move the elephants around on the circles again. Count them as before, noticing that the total is still three even though the elephants have been moved, none have been added, none have been taken away.
Continue to rearrange the elephants, counting them each time. The key learning here is to understand that although the elephants have been moved the total number stays the same. None of the elephants have been taken away, none have been added, they have been moved but the total amount is still the same number.
Next repeat the above activity with four elephants using the number 4 digit card. Like this:
We hope you have enjoyed counting the elephants.
Please send us pictures of your maths learning.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Now you can enjoy your biscuits nursery well done!
Let’s get our bodies warmed up with this funky fingers today.
Great Job!
Today we are going to practice our name writing.
When you have written your name you can decorate around it with different types of minibeasts?
Remember to use your pinchy pinchy pencil grip and form the letters correctly.

Let’s enjoy a story from the author Eric Carle, its called The Very Quiet Cricket.
Can you now answer some questions about the story?
Hope you enjoyed that story today children, great listening.
Reading numbers and making marks or drawing pictures to show the correct number of elephants. Great work children.
Learning about minibeasts and finding the one which is different to the others. Well done.
Watching Miss Woodward make the animal movements of the characters in this week’s story ‘Monkey Puzzle’. We hope you had fun joining in afterwards.
Enjoying listening to this week’s story once more. Did you talk about the story to your family?
Drawing and making bees. Lovely, creative minibeasts work.

Another great day in Nursery where we found out who our new teachers are going to be and waved at them in the playground. The children had a great time being active outside and looking for Minibeast. We found lots of worms and a snail today.
