Hello everyone,
Welcome to May,
Last month we looked at eggs and compared hens eggs to goose eggs- looking at the concept of bigger and smaller. We used egg shaped cutters with play dough and sorted and counted plastic eggs and took part in an Easter egg hunt.
We have been looking in the last week or so at measurement- What is taller, the tree or Lesley? Which is furthest, the street light or the telegraph pole?
This sort of investigation really helps to embed important mathematical concepts and we will be continuing this level of inquiry this month.
We have also enjoyed watching butterflies when we have been out and about so I thought that this month we could take a deep dive into the book, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle.
As usual my planning can be found on our current topic page.
Now that we are approaching Summer and hopefully we will be getting some warm and sunny weather, please ensure that your little one has a sunhat and sun cream in their bag.
Please remember to bring your little one in a suitable coat for the season, we like to get out, even when it is raining.
thankyou so much for your support.
Lesley
Learning at home
-
Go for walks, and as you wander look around at what is growing.
-
Look constantly at what is higher, smaller, thinner, thicker when spending time with your little one. Things like, which is the tallest tree? can become a fun game on a trip to the park or the shops.
-
Count everything.
-
Please be mindful of the time your little one is spending on devices such at tablets. Sharing an actual book only takes ten minutes and are an excellent tool for building bonds with your child.
Thank you for your continued support
Lesley
