The Queen of Hearts

This week in Nursery, we have been thinking about people who love us and what they do for us.
We tied this in to the nursery rhyme The Queen of Hearts.

We looked at photos of each other's families, talked about who was special to us and why. Thank you for all your photos. The children have loved sharing them!

We made paper families and talked about who was in our family.

We learned the nursery rhyme The Queen of Hearts. A naughty knave kept taking her tarts and we had to say how many were left. We thought we would help the poor queen by cooking some more.

We learned about kneading, squeezing, stirring, squeezing, mixing, chopping and cutting.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Now we are looking forward to eating them!



We played with the queen's castle.


 Outdoors we weaved patterns on the fence to help our fine motor skills.

We have been thinking about esafety this week and how to keep safe when we play online. We read a story about Smartie the Penguin (http://www.childnet.com/resources/smartie-the-penguin    EYFS version) who found out that if anything unusual pops up on the screen when we are playing online, we need to show mummy or daddy.

In phonics we have been thinking about words that rhyme, changing nursery rhymes that we know to have new rhyming endings and having fun making rhyming strings (cat, hat, mat, bat etc.)

Next week is half term so have lots of fun and we look forward to seeing you on Monday 20th February.
