Today's sound is x!
We named words which had the x sound in. Lots of words had the x sound at the end of the word, six, fox, box and a T-Rex!
We put all of afternoon Bumble Bee children's shoes in the T-Rex's footprint. There were 26 shoes altogether!
"The T-Rex uses his teeth to bite and they are very long and sharp!" Madison and Farris.
"He would start a fight!" Mason.
"They liked to eat meat" Taylor.
We made T-Rex skeletons using pasta, breadsticks and cotton buds!
We found out how many of our feet would fit inside a T-Rex's footprint. To do this we took our shoes off and put them inside a template of a T-Rex's footprint
"All of our shoes are not as big as the dinosaurs footprint" Brianna.
Kishen found the letter x hidden inside the sand tray!

Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs!
This week at Nursery our learning activities will be based around the story, "Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs". Just like Harry in the story we will be learning the names of common dinosaurs and learning simple facts about them.
"This is a T-Rex. It has a long tail and sharp teeth like me! It eats meat"
We retold the story using small world toys.
"Harry left his dinosaurs on the train"
At the Maths Area we had to find out and record how many dinosaurs we could fit inside our bucket. We remembered to line up the dinosaurs and to touch them and use a big counting voice as we counted them. To help us to recognise and write the numbers we used a number line.
We enjoyed cleaning the dinosaurs in the water tray!
We made dinosaurs using play dough and dinosaur body parts.
This week we are learning to use words to describe and compare capacity for example, full, half full and empty.
"My bottle is full"

Forest School size and measuring
We have been looking at length and measuring in nursery this week.
We found things to measure at Forest School.
Sonny said "the string is really short, the tree is longer"
St George's Day celebrations in Bumble Bee Class!
"The dragon breathed fire!" Farris
"The dragon was burning down the village!" Taylor
"The people were scared." Mason
"The knight killed the dragon!" John
"I saved the Princess" George
We enjoyed role playing the story in our Outdoor Area.
"We're scared of the dragon!"
The dragon built a nest & sat on it's eggs!
"I'm Harry the knight! Where's that dragon gone?"
"He's a friendly dragon, he's guarding me from the evil knight".
"I'm making a castle for the princess to live in"
We made St George's day cards for our friends and family.
We made England flags to take home. We painted a red cross on them.
The children helped Viv to write a story with a dragon and volcano in. The children enjoyed listening to the story.
