We hope that you all had a lovely half term and enjoyed the beautiful weather!

Over half term, Miss Thompson has continued to take care of her plant by watering it every day and making sure it has had lots of light and air. Now, the stem of the plant has grown even taller and leaves have begun to grow!

Take a look at the pictures below…

This week’s theme – Teddy Bear’s Picnic!

Friday

Good morning everyone! Today is the day of your teddy bear’s picnic!

Before you enjoy your picnic, you need to make sure that all of your favourite teddy bear’s and soft toys have a name tag.

Activity – Create a name tag for yourself and for each of your teddy bears. Write your name, and the names of your teddy bears, of a piece of paper. Cut them out and stick them to your clothes and your teddies using sellotape.

When the time comes (the time that you wrote on your invitation), you are ready to enjoy your picnic! If you have a picnic blanket (or any type of blanket) at home, lay it out in your garden or your outdoor space. Sit your teddy bears and soft toys on the picnic blanket.

Whilst you enjoy your picnic today, we would like you to think about sharing. Sharing is when we make things fair and equal.

Here is a video of Elmo and The Cookie Monster learning about sharing to watch as a starter - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTFJ9gjfAXg

As you can see they had 2 cookies and then shared them so they both had 1 each, which is fair.

Whilst you are enjoying your delicious picnic today, if you have any delicious snacks such as orange segments, grapes, apple slices, raisins or sweets, practise sharing them equally with one of your teddies. Remember to do one for you, one for me, one for you, one for me and so on… this way by only doing one at a time you will make sure it is equal and fair!

Activity – Whilst you are enjoying your picnic today, you may want to sing a few songs about teddy bears. Here are some below:

Teddy Bear’s Picnic
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, Turn Around
Round and Round the Garden, Like a Teddy Bear
We’re Going on a Bear Hunt

We hope you enjoy your picnic today! Don’t forget to send us some pictures!

Thursday

This morning we would like you to watch some ‘Numberblocks’ on Cbeebies.

Now, let’s practise some counting. Today, we are going to do a ‘rally robin’ with your grown up. This is when you take it in turns to say each number as you count for example: you say 1, your grown up says 2, you say 3, your grown up says 4 and so on. See how high you can count up to!

Story of the Day – ‘Whatever Next’

Today we are going to read the story, ‘Whatever Next.’ This is a story about a teddy bear who goes on an adventure to the moon! Follow the link below to listen to the story:

Story of the Day – ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’

Today we are going to read the story, ‘We’re going on a Bear Hunt’. We love reading this story at Nursery and even went on our own Bear Hunt around our school in the Autumn term - Can you remember?

Follow this link to listen to the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Waoa3iG3bZ4

Now let’s enjoy some yoga. This one is called ‘We’re going on a Bear Hunt’. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlMK6iscmfo

Activity – To get ready for our teddy bear’s picnic on Friday, we need to write a shopping list so that we know what yummy foods to buy!

Think of 5 foods that you would like to eat at your picnic. Try and include some healthy choices too such as fruit or vegetables!
In your exercise books or on a piece of paper, write down the foods that you have chosen.
Remember to listen carefully to the sounds that you can hear in each word.
Write your letters using the letter cue sheet to help you form them correctly.

Make sure you write your items down one below the other as a list. You may want to number each item for example:

Crisps
Strawberries
Etc.

Now keep your shopping list safe until you go shopping!

Activity – Have a go at this ‘Teddy Numbers’ game on the Topmarks website. This game will help your child practise recognising numbers and counting objects up to 15 - https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/teddy-numbers
