Keeping you up to date!

The children were so excited to come into nursery on Monday to find it had been decorated for Christmas! 
We have been busy for the last couple of weeks preparing for our Nativity... you are in for a real treat - please remember to bring your ticket with you. 
We are still challenging the children with their name writing and appreciate the support at home. 

Lots of the children are learning letters and sounds in phonics, here's a little something to help you learn the actions for supporting at home...

Group 1
s           Weave hand in an s shape, like a snake, and say ssssss
a           Wiggle fingers above elbow as if ants crawling on you and say a, a, a.
           Turn head from side to side as if watching tennis and say t, t, t.
i            Pretend to be a mouse by wriggling fingers at end of noise and squeak i, i, i.
p           Pretend to puff out candles and say p, p, p.
n           Make a noise, as if you are a plane – hold arms out and say nnnnnn.

In phonics it is important to remember to use soft sounds, so when saying the sound that 'S' makes, say 'ssss' instead of 'suh'
