Shapes

Hello everyone,

Last week we had a lovely week singing our favourite nursery rhymes and making our Nursery rhymes display. The children really enjoyed making their own Humpty Dumpty, Baa Baa Black sheep and the wheels on the bus. The children have also been playing the colour game of Humpty Dumpty along with Knicker blocker glory. They were all amazing at knowing their colours. 

This week we are going to be learning all about shapes, We will be making some large shapes to hang from the ceiling. We will be decorating them using different paint techniques e.g. marbling, sponging along with sticking and gluing. 
We will also be playing some shape games including dotty dinosaur which  is a lotto shape game. 
We will also be cooking some shape biscuits to bring home. (Can your child tell you which shapes they have made?)

Home Learning:-   Can you find and name some of the shapes in your house? Please write a Wow so we can share it with your pre-school friends. 

Last week we started sending Charlie bear home with the children. Every child will be taking home our own Charlie Bear at some stage during the term. He comes with his own backpack, accessories and guidance notes, and usually stays with you for a week. Within the provided book you can record whatever you have done with Charlie, and include drawings or photos but please, no pressure! We fully understand that you are busy people.
If you are happy for us to share details of Charlie's stay, we'll then read it out to the other children at story time.
This is a lovely way for children to share and take responsibility for something special, often enjoying telling us all about what they got up to ! ( UW )

WOW'S- On the board by the door are the blank WOW slips. These WOW slips are for you at home to write about something your child has done e.g an achievement, a place you have been, news you would like to share at pre-school etc.
