Nursery Weekly Review
Summer 2: Week 2 - 13th June 2025
Weekly Review
The children have been learning the story of Bea at the Sea this week and enjoyed spending time outside in the sandpit making their own sand castles. They have explored making different foods to take to the beach and used recycled materials to make their own beach equipment. The children have also been busy making something special for Sunday so be sure to check their bags.
Prime Areas
The children have worked really well together this week to make their own sand castles trying to add more to them each day. They have explored the playdough and thought about how they can make that into a sand castle and what they can add to it to decorate it. They have enjoyed using the small blocks to build homes for the animals and thought about the size of the home they needed.
Phonics
This week we have looked at the qu sound and the children have enjoyed hearing the first sound in the word and playing Bertha the Bus. The children have been practising their writing skills and thinking about the first sound for their beach object.
Maths
In Maths we have looked at more than and fewer than. The children have enjoyed sorting the objects into groups and sharing which one had more. They have also spent time playing shops and thinking about which basket of shopping had more or fewer items to buy.
