Nursery Weekly Review
Summer 1: Week 4 - 16th May 2025
Weekly Review
We have had a great week in Nursery with ‘Inside Ravenstone’ on Wednesday and International day on Friday. The children enjoyed showing the classroom to their parents and spending time with them in the environment. International day was a great success. The children spent the morning learning all about India and Bangladesh, enjoying making and tasting some paratha. In the afternoon we flew to New Zealand, Turkey, Pakistan, England, France, Poland, Italy and finished in the Caribbean. We learnt a song from New Zealand, had an English afternoon tea, learnt how to do Polish dancing and smelt some spices from the Caribbean.
Prime Areas
This week we have looked at Farmers and how they help us. The children have spent time using the playdough and using the cutters to help them make some animals that might live on the farm. They have been developing their pencil control by drawing and collaging their favourite farm animals. The children have been working together in the cornflour and sharing how the mixture changes as they add water.
Phonics
This week we have looked at the W sound and the children have enjoyed hearing the first sound in the word and playing Bertha the Bus. They have matched a range of objects to the sounds they make and practised writing the letters to match.
Maths
In Maths we have looked at comparing amounts. The children shared the beads between the teddies and looked at which teddies had the same and which had different amounts. We discussed how we could change the amount so the teddies had the same.
