HOME LEARNING FOR CLOSURE - THURSDAY 9TH OCTOBER

Hello lovely nursery children. We are so sad that we can not see you today. Happy birthday to Lennie, we look forward to singing to you tomorrow.
Today we were going to talk about our new topic, celebrations. Can you talk to your child about what a celebration is? Have they been to any celebrations? What happened? For example presents, food, new clothes.
We are going to look at celebrations in more detail next week and can’t wait to hear your ideas.
It would be lovely if you could go on an autumn walk. Listen to what you can hear , can you hear any birds? Cars? wind? falling leaves? 
Please share a story with your child with a focus on emotions. How are the characters feeling at the start of the story? Middle? end?
Attached is the firework poem we have been learning, if your child was here yesterday afternoon they will be able to perform it with some exciting actions too.
Please post your pictures and ideas.

We enjoyed our French day 🇫🇷 in the Nursery, trying French food like baguette and croissant, and Mrs. Powley read us a story in French.  We dressed up in red, white and blue - the colours of the French flag - and we made French flags by gluing red and blue tissue paper on.
