Tuesday - 2/2/21

We are really pleased with how well your name writing is developing at home! Today we would like you to practice overwriting your name first, then write it yourself using your name card for support. Remember to only use a capital letter at the beginning of your name, and use the SNAPPY CROCODILE to make sure you are holding the pencil correctly!

This week we are continuing with our 'People Who Help Us' topic, thinking about people who look after animals such as vets, animal rescue centres and dog groomers.

Today we are reading a story from the Percy the Park Keeper series called 'Percy the Park Keeper One Snowy Night' by Nick Butterworth. It is about Percy the Park Keeper, who always feeds the animals in the park where he lives, but one cold winter’s night, Percy discovers that his little friends need more than food and he must find a way to help them.

Listen to the story, then in your workbook draw a picture of Percy and the different animals that you can remember. Tell your grown up your favourite part of the story, and which animal you like best!

Afternoon Activity - Fine Motor

It is really important in Nursery that we engage in lots of activities that build up the muscles in our hands, such as using playdough, bead threading and jigsaw puzzles. All of these activities help to develop our fine motor skills, which are important in our writing development.

Today you are going to be completing an activity using scissors, as this is also helpful in your fine motor development!

Please find below an animal cutting activity. Cut the animals out carefully, remembering our rhyme when using your scissors!

If you have not got access to a printer, your grown up could draw the outlines of some animals for you to cut out. Alternatively, you can collect this worksheet from the school foyer. You will find it in the Nursery tray.
