Let’s Talk

For our talking activity we are going to look at some minibeasts and play a game called odd one out.

When watching the video can you focus on these questions and see if you can spot the odd one out.

  • How many legs does the minibeast have?
  • Does the minibeast have a shell?
  • Can the minibeast fly, does it have wings?


Did you find the odd one out?

Making Buzzing Bees

The children have been creative today as they have been making bumble bees out of toilet roll tubes or paper or anything they have in their household that can make a good bumble bee. They look fantastic children well done! Also great talking about them too.

Counting caterpillars in different places

The children have been focusing on counting objects in different arrangements in different ways using the caterpillars. The children have really thought about this in regards to counting the caterpillars in an irregular arrangement.

Thank you for sharing your work with us today nursery. We will see you again tomorrow

All About Numbers

Today we are going to count the caterpillars, adding one more each time. Here is a lovely number song to listen to.

Now find five caterpillars of your own. You could use pasta twirls like we did for counting yesterday. Put the caterpillars one at a time in different places around you, just like in the song. Add one more each time and count them. Can you count five caterpillars like in the song too?

We hope you enjoy this number song as much as we did.
