Subtraction Maths Challenge

By Elizabeth Hay7th June 2021

This week in maths we will be focusing on subtraction. We wonder if you could practise subtracting numbers from 10 (or if you find this super easy…move on to 20).

All you need are some objects, this could be cubes, pasta, cereal, bean bags, toys, play dough – whatever you like! and a hoop. If you don’t have a hoop you could draw a circle using chalk or simply use a piece of paper to count out 10 objects on and then take them away.

Please send a photo of you subtracting at home to [email protected] so that we can celebrate your home learning at Nursery and you will be awarded 10 HoWL points!

Happy learning! 🙂

Mrs Hay’s Recommended Book of the Month!

By Elizabeth Hay7th June 2021

Hello Nursery!

I hope you have had a wonderful half term break and are excited for all of our learning, play and celebration adventures we have coming up over the next 7 weeks!

This month is Pride month and I would like to share with you my recommended ‘book of the month’ called and Tango makes three. It’s a truly beautiful true story about two very special penguins who live in Central Park Zoo in New York City named Roy and Silo who adopt a baby penguin and make their own very special family. This story reminds us that love is love!

Here are some pictures of my family enjoying the story and the very beautiful illustrations. Maybe you’d like to read this story with your family too?

Are there any books that you’ve read lately that you have loved and could recommend to us?

Magical Maths from Martha!

By Rebecca Carter20th May 2021

Martha has been enjoying the magic of addition as she extends her learning at home!

Martha enjoyed using her play dough to make ladybirds. She then counted the spots and wrote her number sentences. She was very quick at adding the numbers and she also impressed with her knowledge of double number eg 6 + 6= 12, 7 + 7= 14 they just tripped off her tongue with no working out!  Here is a photo of one of the ladybirds she made!

 

Super work Martha!

The nursery children enjoyed reading books that make them happy and can’t wait to start bringing in their own books to share in a reading crew on a Wednesday!
