Nursery - Home Learning - March/April 2020

 

 

Good morning boys and girls! Did you have a go at the Super Hero workout yesterday? The weather is not as sunny and warm as it has been recently, but make sure you continue keep active.
Joe Wicks has LIVE PE workouts each morning at 09:00 - don't forget to have a go at these if you can!

 

 

 

Today is Captain Tom Moore's 100th Birthday! He is the WW2 Veteran who has raised over £29million for the NHS this month!

Have a go at making him an extra special birthday card to celebrate his 100th birthday!

Maths:
As you always blow me away with your knowledge of shape, so today I would like you to have a go at finding objects around your homes that are squares, circles, triangles and rectangles. If you want an extra challenge, try and find some 3D shapes around your homes, such as cubes and spheres! Can you group each object by its shape? Have a go!

Have a great day everyone!

 

 

Good morning! Thank you for the photos and updates that you have been sending in. Our home-learning photo gallery is looking great!

How about trying out this Super Hero workout today?

Saint George's Day

Good morning!
Saint George's Day in England remembers Saint George, England's patron saint. The anniversary of his death, which is on 23rd April, is seen as England's national day. According to legend, he was a soldier who killed a dragon and saved a princess! 

Today, have a go at designing your own shield! St. George would have carried a very special shield to protect himself. Your shield could include all of your favourite things. You could colour it, paint it, stick things onto it - entirely up to you.

See the example below.



Have a go at the maths activity below. Can you add 10 spots to the ladybirds? See how many different ways you can do it!

Open the document below for blank ladybirds in order to complete this activity.

Good morning everyone. Did you manage to complete some Queen's Birthday activities yesterday and enjoy some more of the Spring sunshine?

Today, if you have the opportunity to go outside on your daily walk or into your gardens, then have a go at the 'Your Face In Nature' activity. You will need to collect natural resources from outside such as twigs, leaves and stones, then arrange them to create a portrait of your face. Then have a go at making the face of another person, a pet or one of your teddy bears!
                                                                                 

 

See the instructions below:

Good morning. Today it's The Queen's Birthday! See the PowerPoint below to learn some facts about The Queen's Birthday.
Perhaps you could make a special Birthday Card for The Queen or think of some rules that you would make if you were The Queen (or King) of England!

Don't forget to stay active and enjoy the sunshine responsibly! Continue to explore the website links that I've shared and practice counting to 10, 20 or higher if you can!

Keep sending in photographs of what you have been up to! They will be added to the gallery on this page.

Have a lovely day!

Good morning everyone. I hope you enjoyed the Easter holidays - we've had some lovely sunny days!

Have you been keeping active with Joe Wicks during Easter?
Continue with the LIVE P.E lessons each day at 09:00am or watch them at any time that suits you! Keep active and have fun!

As we are now in beginning the summer term, we will be exploring 'minibeasts' as one of our topics. This week, try to go outside in your gardens or on a short walk near your home (if possible) and look for insects and small creatures that are buzzing and crawling around now that the weather is warmer. Stop and listen for a moment - what can you hear? Look closely at a tree, plant or flower, can you see any small insects or creatures?
If it is not possible to go outside, then follow the link below to the BBC 'Listen and Play - minibeasts' page and play the video.
