Good morning! Today is World Book Day so we are going to do all things books and stories. As a school we are also encouraging you to wear your pyjamas for this World Book Day.

I would love to see some photos of you in all of your different pyjamas and sharing stories today! Are you wearing  a onesie or some funny pyjamas?

Today for your daily story I am going to read The Tiger Who Came to Tea so pop over to Class Dojo’s to watch it.

So, for your activities I would like you to draw what things you would have for a picnic. Would you have strawberries or some cake? Draw some pictures to show me.

Now, for lunch time choose your favourite cuddly toy. Do you have a tiger? Have a lunch time picnic with your cuddly toy. What do they like eating?

For a little phonics and number activity in one, listen and learn the words to his song.

Good morning!

Today is World Wildlife Day so some of our activities will be based around that. Here are today’s activities.

For Flexi Fingers today go outside and find lots of leaves and grass. Once you have found lots, use some scissors to make some snips in them. Keep these for later on.

For your activity use some of the leaves and grass that you just used for snipping and make a little bug hotel!

  For number fun draw some numerals on some paper and then do some finger printing on top of the numerals.

For Phonics today have a listen to Jolly Phonics and see if you can spot any sounds in your name.

Don’t forget to look at Class Dojo’s for our daily story.

Have a lovely day, Leanne.

Good morning, here are your activities for today.

For Flexi Fingers today go outside and find some flower petals, leaves and twigs and now put them into a tray of water. Find a peg or some children’s tweezers and see if you can get all of the things out of the water without using your fingers!

For your activity today I would like you to take a photograph of yourself and send it to me on Class Dojo’s. I will then put your photo on to Class Stories, lets see if we can remember everybody!

For some number fun have a listen to and a watch of this number video.

For Phonics today (Letters and Sounds) go and sit in your garden and close your eyes. Listen to what you can hear. Can you hear a bird? A plane? People talking?

(Please note: Similar activities have been suggested over lockdown but listening skills are very important in children’s phonological awareness).

Have a lovely day, Leanne.

Good morning! I hope that you had a lovely weekend. Welcome to the first day of March and St. David’s Day. DyddGŵyl Dewi Hapus

As today is St. David’s Day and usually in Nursery we would taste different foods and do different activities relating to this day here are some ideas for you to do today.

For Flexi Fingers and shape fun today, print out these daffodils and then cut them out. Once you have cut them out have a look and see which one is smallest? Which one is biggest? Can you put them in order from smallest to biggest? Now use some lollipop sticks or straws to turn them into daffodils with stems.

For your activity today follow this link and see if you can make some welsh cakes! I would love to see some photos!

As it is St. David’s Day today, for Phonics, see if you can find some things that begin with ‘d’. Here are some ideas.

Don’t forget to pop over to Class Dojo to hear our daily story.

Have a lovely day, Leanne.

Good morning! Can you believe we have come to the end of another week?!

Here are todays activities:

For Flexi Fingers and your activity get some card and draw some flower shapes. Then use some wool to wrap around the flower shapes to make your own spring bouquet.

I would love to see some photos of what you make.

Try this game for a bit of number fun today!

Good morning!!

Here are today’s activities for you.

For flexi fingers, find these things at home:

Tweezers / peg / chop sticks

Pom poms or  dry beans (anything small and sphere shaped)

Ice cube tray or muffin tray.

Now use your tweezers (or whichever you are using from above) to pick up your spherical objects. Then put them into whichever type tray that you are using.

Get back into the fresh air again and find some more sticks. See if you can make a wind chime using these sticks and some wool. Here’s an idea.

Have a watch of this fun number rap for ‘number 1!’

Todays phonics activity is Beat Baby- the video is on Class Dojo stories, as is the daily story.

Have a lovely day!!

Good morning, it’s the middle of the week again!

Here are  today’s activities.

To warm up your fingers grab your leaves from yesterday and put some holes in them. Now find some wool and thread it through the holes in the leaves. When you’re done you should have a little banner decoration. Where could you hang it?

   Go outside and find some leaves, twigs and petals. Now see if you can make a picture with what you have found. You don’t even need to glue them down – just find a blank space and use it as your canvas.

Re watch the ‘f’ video from yesterday and have a hunt in the garden or house to see what you can find that begins with ‘f’. My favourite ‘f’ object is flowers! What is yours?

Watch this video and have a go at signing the word ‘spring’.

Have a lovely day! Leanne.

Good morning everyone!

Here are today’s activities for you.

For Flexi Fingers and number fun today go outside and find some different leaves. Now find a peg or some children’s tweezers. See how many leaves you can pick up with the tweezers. Count how many you start with and then count how many you can pick up. What happens if you take one away? What happens if you have one more? How many are there? Can you draw these numbers on the path or a wall using some chalk?

Now use your leaves to take some rubbings. You can take them from inside or outside! The only other things that you need are a piece of paper and some mark making tools e.g. wax crayons or pencil crayons (wax are best though). Put the leaf you have under the paper and then rub the wax crayon over the paper. It’s just like magic!

Keep some of these leaves for tomorrow.

For your phonics activity today watch this video on ‘f’.

Have a lovely day, Leanne.

Good morning everyone! I hope you have had a lovely half term enjoying lots of fresh air!

This term we will be looking at Spring which will of course lead on to Easter!

Let’s warm our fingers up for the day. Find some beads and pipe cleaners. See if you can make a flower with your items.

 If you don’t have beads and pipe cleaners use some sweets and make the flower on a tray or table top.

Today go for a walk and see if you can find any signs of spring.

Can you see any blossom on the trees?

Can you see any birds nests in the trees?

Can you see any green leaves?

Cam you see any daffodils?

Can you see any flower buds anywhere?

Can you see any lambs in the field?

Take some photographs of anything that you find and send them to Class Dojo.

For phonics today use these cards from Phonics Play and either print out or draw some of your own.

printables-welcome-to-the-zoo (phonicsplay.co.uk)

Play a game of bingo with them. Think about the sounds that the animals make as you go through the game.

For some shape fun try these colouring sheets.

As you colour think about the shapes that you are using.

As always there is a story on Class Dojo stories for you to watch and listen to.

Have a lovely Monday, Leanne.
