Snow Leopards

Hello Snow Leopards.
Hope you are all well and keeping busy!

I have, again gathered together some resources/activities that may keep you busy during these unusual times.

Be sure to check out their YouTube page for more fun active stories sessions!

Name Recognition Activity Mat
This worksheet is for you to edit to help your children form the letters in their name. Laminating this sheet is a good option as then it is reusable.

This homemade playdough recipe is perfect to keep the children entertained! The link below the recipe are activity mats – again these would work well laminated.

Winter Maths Challenge Cards

Snow Leopards

Good morning Snow Leopards. I hope you are well.

This week we have lots of exciting things planned. I hope you will join us at home.

Cooking ~ We will be making cupcakes (appropriate COVID guidance,1 household per bake) We are making a Victoria Sponge. Talking to the children about measuring and quantities. They will help to pour, mix and scoop the ingredients into their cupcake case.
We will be setting a timer for the children to keep an eye on, allowing them to become more aware of lengths of time.

Planting ~ Our spider plants in nursery have sprouted little plants so we have placed each in their own pot. We will be watching a short clip about the growth of plants.
We are encouraging each child to tend to their own plant, ensuring it is getting plenty of sunshine and water.

The children can also learn some Makaton signs relating to gardening.

Dingle Dangle Scarecrow ~ A short, enjoyable song for the children to join in and dance too!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXxa2SVlQyE

PE ~ We will be taking part in a short session. We will start by warming up our bodies (Sticky Kids on youtube), then play ‘Walk the Plank’ – Apply masking tape to the floor in a long straight line or draw a line using chalk outside. Encourage the children to walk carefully along the line ensuring they don’t wobble off!
You can make the activity more challenging by balancing a beanbag or cushion on their head. If this is still too easy experiment with different ways of moving; hopping, skipping, sidesteps or walking backwards – but remember… don’t fall off!

Remember to continue short phonics activities with your child.
https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/reading/reading-schemes-oxford-levels/read-write-inc-phonics-guide/#set1
Only practice set 1 sounds, there are videos to help you and lots of resources for your children to enjoy.

I hope you enjoy these activities. Please take photos and add them to Dojo for us to see all of your hard work!

Stay safe

Hello Snow Leopards, I hope you all had an enjoyable Summer.

We have been busy in nursery getting it all ready for your return. Myself and Fran are very excited, we hope you are too!

We will be unable to invite parents into the nursery setting, so drop off and collection with take place in the playground where parents will enter through the main school gate and exit through the nursery gate. This one way system is to limit contact with other parents.

Our drop off time is 9:15am and collection is 2:45pm
(Please refer to the older post with regards to drop off and collections, if you have any queries)

Please only send your child to nursery with the essentials that they may need in their bag (spare clothes, nappies, wipes, coats) please provide your child with a water bottle so your child has access to a drink throughout the day.
No toys from home are allowed to be brought into the setting.

School lunches:
Grab and Go bags will be available to order, unfortunately at the moment we are unable to provide hot lunches. Payments are preferred through our online system, though we do also accept cash in a named sealed envelope. You can also still provide a pack lunch for your children to bring into nursery.

We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Joining nursery – September 2020

Starting nursery is a very exciting time. I want to do my very best to ensure that children learn and grow, they feel happy and are supported along their learning journey. As we know starting nursery can be an overwhelming and daunting time for children and parents, particularly this year due to COVID-19. So I wish to ensure a positive and smooth transition as your child starts at our nursery.

You can read all the relevant information on our website, through the link ‘Joining’ then click ‘Nursery’. This information will help prepare you and your child for their start with us at Myddle nursery in September.

If you require any extra information or you wish to speak to me directly about registering your child, please feel free to e-mail through to nursery@myddle.shropshire.sch.uk or call on 01939 290268. I will be available daily until 12pm except Wednesdays as school is closed.

I look forward to hearing from you

Snow Leopards w/b: 22.06.2020

Hello Snow Leopards.
Hope you have had an enjoyable weekend.

This week in school we are going to be

  • Completing puzzles and jigsaws.
  • Using our imagination through our own play. Encourage your child to make up a story or act out role play scenarios. See if you can catch this on video to share with us on Class Dojo!
  • We are in the process of making our own ‘Wildlife Area’ in the nursery playground. We will paint the bird feeder and we will be making our own bird feeders to hang up. The link below gives you ideas on how to make these using recycled objects.
    We will also be creating a bird watching den so we can keep a close eye!

We are working alongside Mrs Turner, so please feel free to check out the Panda news feed and the activities available if you wish to get involved.

Have a lovely week and keep me updated with all your excellent work!

Jodie
