🦖Nursery Activities & check in 🦖

Good Morning, How is everyone feeling today? I am starting to get into a routine living in Mrs Forth’s house. We are trying to make it as like nursery as possible so getting up, having breakfast, doing our activities, having snack, enjoying our outdoor time in the garden then lunch and a story. Having a good routine is making me feel happier as I know what to expect through the day. Tess has become a good friend, we like to hang out together but we have to watch out for a another furry animal in Mrs Forth’s House, I wonder if you guess what it is, its name is meow!

Today it would be great if you could get all your loose parts that you collected out and sort them into piles of their kind. Don’t worry if you didn’t manage to get out, you can use things from your house, dry pasta, toy cars, hair clips, pegs, earrings, etc.

Once we have sorted them all out choose a pile and sort them in order of size. Mrs Forth had to snap her twigs because they were all of similar size.

I think this one looks like a Christmas tree!

While we did this Mrs Forth used lots of words like big, bigger, smaller and little. “Can you find a smaller one Haggis?” “Oh that one is the biggest” this help me understand size.

Next can you find a pen and paper? Mrs Forth helped me make a “ten frame” it’s very easy, you don’t need to be neat with a ruler, we just drew it best we could.

We used this to play a game. Mrs Forth asked me to put 2 pieces on the frame so I had to count 2 parts and put them on the frame. 1, 2.

We did this with different amounts up to 5 but if you want you can try up to 10! Its not about getting it right on your own, it’s about doing it as a team, counting the pieces, talking about the numbers. “There are 4 parts, lets count 1, 2, 3, 4”

At the end Mrs Forth would say a number and I had to put a stone on the correct number, I only manged to do this up to 5 but that’s okay, I can keep practicing.
