Welcome back to our final half term in Nursery Class! We hope you all had an enjoyable half term break!                                The children were all very excited to share their half term news with us and all the exciting things they got up too! 

As the children are still enjoying our ‘under the sea ‘ topic we are continuing it for a few more weeks. We read ‘Bright Stanley and made our own gold sparkly gold fish.  We have also been continuing with our phase 2 phonics, they are getting so good that they managed to win this week's phonics game beating Mrs Vinci with their excellent listening skills! We continue to practice through counting songs and games our number recognition and quantity. We are still continuing to practice our number formation too. As part of our Understanding of the World curriculum our science focus was 'floating and sinking'. As you will have seen from the photos sent on dojo the children really enjoyed predicting first if an object would float or sink and then testing their predictions. They were surprised by some of the objects they thought would float but sank and objects they thought would sink floated. Nursery class also made their own boats which they took home yesterday. They were able to choose a container, straw and sail of their choice to make their boat. They then tested first if it floated, then they tested how many animals it could hold before sinking. 

We wish you all a wonderful weekend!

Have a lovely weekend!
