This week Nursery have started a new project called’ Sunshine and Sunflowers’.
We thought about the weather getting warmer and discussed why it is important to stay safe in the sun like wearing a sun hat and putting on sun cream.
The children loved learning new songs about staying safe in the sun. They also learnt some new Makaton signs from Mr Tumble to go along with one of the songs!
We did a ‘number trail’ outdoors, where they read numerals and counted different things they could see, such as 5 daises or did actions such as jump 4 times!

Using the Little Wandle phonics scheme the children learnt the sound ‘v’ and played lots of games to develop their phonemic awareness and oral blending. We also did ‘Rhyme Time’ where the children sang ‘Mary, Mary Quite Contrary’ in different ways such as loud, in a whisper, fast and slow. They also thought about syllables and clapped them, rhyming words and words that began with the same sound.
The children enjoyed a ‘reading trail’ where they different signs, some of which they are very familiar with!
Other activities have included:
Colouring flowers, painting a sunflower and using the dabber paints.
In PE the children enjoyed playing some parachute games!
The new flower shop in our role play corner has been very popular too!
Learning a new exercise dance, called ‘The Stomp, Clap, Dance Song’ by Danny Go.
Mr Woan found a wasps nest! The children were fascinated!
Lots of outdoor play! Enjoyiny the sunshine!
