Horses and Unicorns

The children came back well to Nursery and were keen to share what they had been up to over half term. We were very proud of the way the children performed in our May Dance before the half term break.

This week our topic has been Horses and Unicorns. In our Small World Area we have been acting out stories using the Unicorns and Ponies. They went swimming in the sea, sang songs and rescued one of the baby unicorns from the 'bad' unicorn.

We have been playing Maths games this week, trying to match the number of spots to the number on the dice. We have also been checking to see if we can find the right numeral to match. This has been great for turn taking.

We used the computer to find information on how people travelled before there were cars. Lulu guessed they used ponies and some other children thought they would walk. We also found out that horses have special shoes to wear and that they go to the Blacksmith to have them fitted.

We read the story Sugarlump and the Unicorn by Julia Donaldson and thought about what we would like to be if we weren't who we were.

Next week our theme is 'Wheels'. On Wednesday we are going on our trip to Stockwood Park. We will be reading Mrs Armitage on Wheels by Quentin Blake to support us in our learning. On Friday it is Green Day. This year the children need to come to school in uniform and will not be required to wear the colour green.

In Phonics we will be practising rhyme, alliteration, blending and segmenting.
