Things I can do at home

Nursery Daily Do's

Get moving - Ideally go into the garden to practise:

•  running or skipping about
• balancing on one leg
• jumping with two feet and landing on two feet
•  hopping

Be more independent - encourage your child to 

•  put on and take off different items of clothing on their own
• brush their hair, brush their teeth, cut up their food

Name recognition - practise:

•  saying your name. Take turns saying "My name is ..." or " I am ..."
• recognise the letters of your name, start with the first letter. Spot the letters that make your name, you could see them on food packaging, in a book or comic, magnetic letters on the fridge, foam letters in the bath. 
• make/form the letters of your name. You could make your letter shapes outside with twigs/pebbles, you can ask for help chalking them outside on a wall or floor, you can make the shape in the air or in shaving foam with your pointing finger.

Sing the Jolly Phonics Song - Listen to and join in with the actions of the Jolly Phonics Song https://youtu.be/TI-pfeaErY4 

Number recognition- Talk about numbers you see around you.

• Be a number detective and find them on food packaging, on book/magazine pages, on keyboards, washing machine dials, magnetic numbers on the fridge or foam letters in the bath.
• make/form numbers 1-10. You could form number shapes outside with twigs/pebbles, you can ask for help chalking them outside on a wall or floor, you can make the shape in the air or in shaving foam with your pointing finger.

Autumn Term 

We have been learning about the seasons and changes in our surroundings. We have been on adventures to Coed Clase to play Hide and Seek with the woodland animals where we noticed the different colours of autumn. The leaves are beginning to change from green into bright red, orange, yellow and brown.
