Week ending:
Friday 26th April 2024
Dear Families,
What a great week of Colour Mixing! This week was a week of colours! We have learnt some rather tricky words which we will be reinforcing next week again. The children have really enjoyed our very hands-on Colours topic and are becoming really good at remembering which two primary colours to use to mix the secondary colours.
Have a lovely weekend
Best wishes from Miss Lowin and the Nursery Team

Can you find out the names of some colours that you didn't know before eg. teal?
Can you name these three colours?

What happen to the paint if you mix it with a different colour?

How do make orange? Purple? Green?
Our Maths Learning this week
This week we continued to compare 2 groups of objects using the words "more" and "less" or "fewer" using a quick glance. Some of us began to count out these objects and work out how many more or fewer/less a group had compared to the other group.
If your child is going to Reception in September, we are encouraging them to make marks to show their mathematical finding be it pictures, symbols or numbers.
We found some lovely songs about one more and one less to sing along to.
