Miss Thompson's Plant

I have been watering my seeds everyday, making sure they have had lots of light and air to grow and look...

       

it has sprouted! That means that the stem is beginning to grow. How exciting!

Week beginning 11/05/20

Theme – Baa-baa, Moo, Cock – a – Doodle – Doo

This week’s theme teaches the children all about farm animals and some of the produce we get from them. The children will learn that chickens, cows and sheep live on farms and provide us with eggs, milk and wool, from which we can make many other products.

Friday

This morning, we would like you to listen to the following story: ‘Duck in the Truck’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pICm8MigUQI

  • Can you hear any rhyming words?

Watch this YouTube video below all about rhyming words! Remember, rhyming words are words that sound the same.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuAjgo6NSVM

  • Can you think of any words that rhyme with pen?
  • Can you think of any words that rhyme with sun?
  • Can you think of any words that rhyme with mat?

Grownups, if your child is struggling with this activity, you could help them by giving them some options. For example:

“Do these words rhyme? Pen and dog? No.

“Do these words rhyme? Pen and cat? No.

“Do these words rhyme? Pen and hen? Yes!

Repeat the words continuously, emphasising the final sounds so that your child can hear that the words sound the same.

 

Activity – Recap some of the fun activities that we have done this week, learning all about farms and farm animals.

Can your child remember:

  • What food comes from a chicken?
  • What does a cow produce for us?
  • What do sheep provide for us?

 

Activity - Play ‘I Spy and Count - On the Farm’ (see below).

I Spy and Count.docx

  • Say the initial sound of each farm animal.
  • Count the animals and record how many of each animal there are.

For example: “I spy with my little eye, something beginning with P – Pig!

Count all the pigs – 4.

Write the number 4.

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

The Nursery Team.
