Nursery Weekly Review

Summer 2: Week 4 - 27th June 2025                                      

   

Weekly Review

 This children have had a great week this week finished off by the last Lower Phase Assembly of the year. This week our imagination took us underwater as we focused on the book 'Tiddler'. The children enjoyed using a range of materials to make their own underwater pictures. We looked at the season of summer and how it is different to the other seasons and the children created their own summer pictures. The children have enjoyed looking through their learning journeys and sharing them with their friends. We have had lot's of water play this week and the children have spent time investigating how the water can help the boats travel down the ramps.

       

Prime Areas

The children have enjoyed using the tweezers to rescue the sea creatures from the dangerous water. They have spent time moulding the playdough into different sea creatures and thought about the different materials they could add to it. The children have enjoyed sharing stories with their friends, exploring the water activities and building animal shelters.

    

    

 Phonics

This week we have looked at the ck sound and the children have enjoyed hearing the sound in the word and playing Bertha the Bus. The children have enjoyed drawing their self portrait and trying hard to write the letters in their name.

                             

Maths

In Maths we have looked at subitising. The children have enjoyed looking at the amounts and sharing how many they can see. They have used Numicon to help them recognise the patterns and counted out the amount to match the numeral.
