This weeks ideas
This week we thought it would be great to support the children's understanding of the amazing people helping us in our community as well as use this as an opportunity to say thank you to some of those that are helping the community in this difficult time. So this week please find a list of ideas that will help prompt conversation, story, song and craft while saying a big thank you. We also wanted to recognise that some people may be particularly vulnerable and therefore added a few suggestions of ways we could work together to share a smile. We hope you all are well and can't wait to hear all about your adventures at home when we return to nursery.

Play I spy using sound talk e.g. I spy a c a t. Jolly phonics has some great youtube videos to support pronunication. Can you identify the hidden sound- simplify using instruments and extend by using tricky sounds such as the rustle of a crisp packet. |
Write a letter or draw a picture to say thank you to someone that helps in the community. Make a picture/poster to go on the window showing our thanks. Role play as different roles e.g. can you be the DR, policeman Send a card to someone that might not have many visitors. Play with small world toys such as different vehicles community helpers might use. |
