Nursery Home Learning - Week Beginning 08.06.20 & 15.06.20

Hello Little Winners and Stars, welcome to another week of home learning. We are very excited to see some of you next week. If you are not coming back to school yet don’t worry we will still give you a call and you can speak to Mrs Pearsall if you want to.

A big thank you to Rex for letting us know what you have been doing at home. Rex did some wonderful leaf rubbings, they are very pretty. (even though the leaves were not pretty when you finished with them)! We also love your recreation of Ten Fat Sausages sizzling in a pan, well done you. We would also like to thank Isabelle for sending in photographs of her wonderful blue water sensory bottle. We love your decision to add loom bands, small sea shells, rice and beads. What a fabulous idea. We are glad you had a lot of fun shaking the bottle around.

Remember if you have a drawing or a photograph of what you have been up to, feel free to send it via the Home Learning Showcase. We love to see what you have been up to.

Also, if you would like to send a message to Little Winners teachers or Little Stars teachers, feel free to do so via the stay in touch section on the nursery home page.
