Fun with Play dough

 Hello Everybody 🙋

Firstly, we would like to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of those who came on Tuesday to collect nursery work packs. Well done to you all 👏

Those of you who did collect work packs will know that this week your child was given a bag of play dough. Play dough is such a good resource for young children and can be used to support fine motor development, mathematical skills, language development and much more.

Today we are focussing on fine motor development so grab your bag of dough and get ready to DOUGH DISCO!

Grown ups make sure you are supporting your child by joining in too!

Click on the video below to get started!

We hope you enjoyed that fine motor activity. Don't forget you can repeat it as many times as you like and the more you do the more you will be developing the muscles in your hands and fingers. We need good muscles in our hands and fingers to allow us to be able to draw and write accurately.

Some of you may not have collected packs and not have any dough but don't worry, Mr Ormsby from reception has made this easy, step by step video to help you make your own. This is a fabulous activity to do with young children and supports their understanding of measurement and capacity.

That is your task for this afternoon grown ups and children, go and make some dough and come back tomorrow when Miss Sykes will be demonstrating some counting activities you can do at home using the dough you have made.

Have Fun!

Eat your greens Goldilocks

Hello Children. 

Please join Ms Charlton for an alternative version of the traditional 'Goldilocks' story.  In this version of story the 3 bears encourage Goldilocks to take on some responsibility.  They also cook her a nice healthy meal. 

Enjoy listening.   

I hope you enjoy the story please remember you can watch it repeatedly. 

Working from home SUPERSTARS

 

It is very strange at the moment, with some children in nursery and others at home. I am delighted that you all seem to be keeping busy, working and playing hard and learning lots!

A MASSIVE WELL DONE to all the parents and children who came to nursery on Tuesday afternoon to collect their work packs.

Some children have even sent their work to me.

Well done to Iris who completed her counting and story work and still found time to build this super snowman!

                                                                          

Well done to Arisa who has been busy singing at home, practising writing the letters of her name, doing jigsaws, drawing fabulous pictures like this one of a washing machine and even finding time to take notes for Mum and Dad during their zoom meetings.

We are SUPER PROUD of you all and feel VERY LUCKY to be your teachers.

Grown ups, please don't forget to pick up your work packs from Nursery on Tuesday afternoon (1.30- 3.00)

It would be great if you could bring your child along so they can choose a book from our library and we can say hello.

Maybe you would like to send some pictures of your child's completed work or any other activities they have been doing at home. Remember you can send your pictures to reception@hovingham.org
