TOWNHILL NURSERY
WEEKLY NEWS.
WEEK BEGINNING: 23rd April 2012
MONDAY: Welcome to our new children Jayden, Caleb and Tyler in the
morning and Elissa and Sarah in the afternoon, the children will be visiting
during this week and we hope they all have fun. This week we are looking at
patterns and had fun matching socks in the number area. We enjoyed listening
to a story about ‘Elmer’ the elephant who is all different colours. In art this
week we are going to be colouring in elephants and then set up a display of all
the different patterns.
TUESDAY: In the morning we celebrated Adam’s fourth birthday and then
enjoyed delicious birthday cake for snack. The children were keen to talk about
the objects they had brought in for the pattern display and then to put them on
the table. Today in art we started our elephants, we have to use lots of different
colours and colour them in very carefully.
WEDNESDAY: Today we had a very tasty snack; we had lots of different
vegetables, dips and breadsticks. The children enjoy this type of snack when
they get to make up their own plates and help themselves. Some children have
finished their elephant patterns and Mrs Rowbotham is now busy cutting them
out and framing them for our pattern display.
THURSDAY: The older children were looking at the number 9; the children
were putting the numbers in order and filling in the missing number. We are all
trying very hard with our numbers! Mrs Thomson was busy in snack cutting up
lots of different vegetables, she then put the chopped up fruit in bowls and the
children had to choose four pieces to have for snack. Still lots of activity in the
art area completing elephant patterns, Mrs Rowbotham is being kept busy
cutting and framing them all!
FRIDAY: A busy day trying to finish things off and giving the nursery a big
move around and a big tidy. The children were continuing to work with
numbers and had lots of different counting and colouring activities to complete.
The listening centre was very popular today; the children enjoyed putting on
the headphones and listening along.
