Monday's Maths Challenge

Date: 27th Apr 2020 @ 7:19am

Are you ready for some Maths learning today?

Let’s remind ourselves of the shapes we know and spot the shapes in the pictures using the link below.

Now that you have listened to the shape song, take a look at the ‘I spy’ picture below:

I spy with my little eye…  can you find a circle, square, triangle, oblong?

What other shapes can you see?

Did you spot lots of shapes? Fantastic!

Today’s challenge is to go on a shape hunt around your home or outside and try to find:

A circle

A square

A triangle

An oblong

Maybe you could take a picture of your shape hunt and the objects you find and send them to: nurseryhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Happy hunting!

Monday 27th April - Phonics

Date: 27th Apr 2020 @ 6:59am

Good Morning Nursery! I hope you had a lovely weekend.

Let’s begin today’s phonics by revisiting the sounds we learnt last week.

Sing along to songs for the letter:  s, a, t and p. Can you join in with saying the sounds?

On Friday we went on a sound hunt for objects beginning with the sound 'p'. How many items did you find? 

Here are some of the things that I found… can you name each one?

Now we are going to learn a new sound…

Today if you are able to go outside, have a look to see how many insects you can find.

Go on an insect hunt then draw a picture of all insects you find.

Have a go at writing ‘i’ for insects next to your picture.

Have a great day!

Wellbeing challenge number 10

Date: 24th Apr 2020 @ 10:08am

Good morning everyone, another lovely sunny day! I can't wait to get out there in the sun for a bit.

Fot the last day of the week I'm giving you a slightly different wellbeing challenge today and it's something that always makes me feel happy and a bit better if I'm feeling a bit low.

Today's challenge is to do something nice for someone. Here are some ideas below although feel free to do one of your own ideas!

1. Read or tell a story to a younger brother or sister

2. Tidy your room

3. Do a chore or job for someone at home

4. Give someone a compliment

5. Share a toy or some food with someone at home

6. Make someone a present, picture or card

7. Offer to help an adult with the cooking or washing up

8. Write someone a poem or story

9. Tell someone a joke

10. Phone a friend or send them a nice message

See how many of the 10 you can do and remember to let us know what you have done!

I'm going to do some baking for my husband for my good deed and maybe make him a nice dinner as well. In fact, I might go and take him a cup of tea while he's doing his work! :-)

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Glover

Friday 24th April - Phonics

Date: 24th Apr 2020 @ 7:02am

Good Morning Nursery - it's Fantastic Friday!

I hope you enjoyed hunting for items beginning with the letter 't'.

Can you name the objects that I found around the house?

You may have found objects outside too!

Take a look at the letter we are looking at today.

CLICK HERE TO WATCH TODAY'S SHOW ME CLIP

Today's challenge is to find items beginning with the sound 'p'.

See if you can practise writing the letter yourself.

You could paint a picture of an object you find or have fun creating a picture using potatoes or paint using Pom poms! You could even make the letter p using pennies! 

Take a look at the picture below for some ideas! 

Be creative and have a fun filled day and don't forget to send your amazing work to nurseryhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

What's in the box?

Date: 23rd Apr 2020 @ 1:30pm

Hi Nursery, I hope you are enjoying the lovely sunny weather!

Here is a clue to the theme we are going to be looking at over the next few weeks ...

Children, children, what do you know? Can you think of something that can grow?

Have a think of what it could be?

Can you think of any books that we might be looking at?

Take a look at the video below called 'What's in the box?'

I hope you will join in with singing the song!

Can you talk to your grown up about what we might use the objects for?

Do you have any of the objects at home?

Where would you find them?

Do you think you can name each one?

Have a look at the picture and talk to your grown up about each object, can you describe the object to them?

You can also use your looking skills, to spot some objects in this picture attached. 

Can you find a watering can, gardening tools, plants, bean or seeds, flowers, lawn mower and grass in the picture? What else can you see?

Wellbeing challenge number 9

Date: 23rd Apr 2020 @ 11:07am

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is finding ways to enjoy this amazing weather, I don't think we've ever had such a nice April before!

So today's wellbeing challenge is another way to make the most of the weather and get out in your gardens and do some gardening!

Here are some nice ideas for things to do that you don't really need many resources for: https://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/grow-plants/10-gardening-projects-for-kids/ 

I bet you'll already have a lot of the things in your house or garden or you could collect some of them like twigs etc while out on a walk (make sure you wash your hands after if you do that!)  My favourite is the fairy garden.

Alternatively you could plant some seeds from something that you've just eatedn such as tomato seeds.

If you don't have a garden then why not design and draw your own garden (or fairy garden!) instead? You could maybe try and re-create it when you're older and have your own garden!

I have a balcony rather than a garden and had never done any gardening until a few weeks ago but below are a couple of pictures of the things I've planted! I'm watering them every day and the sun is making most of them grow nice and tall.

Have fun and remember to let us know what you've done!

Mrs Glover
