N – Learning this week

Week beginning: 13th April 2026

Book of the week  

It is not available as a video.

The book talks about signs of Spring such as blossom, spring flowers and ducklings. Perhaps when you are out walking, you and your child might be able to spot some signs of Spring.

Here is a story we will be reading this week.

In class we will be:

  • Playing a dice game – matching the correct number of objects to the number on the dice
  • Writing some letters from our names
  • Challenging ourselves to make some spring flowers from a variety of construction materials

 

If your child says they do nothing at Nursery, try these ideas

  • If possible go for a walk as walking seems to work well to encourage  chatting
  • Share one great thing about your day and encourage your child to tell you something great about their day
  • Ask silly questions such as, “Did you play on the school roof today?” “Did you wear wellies on your hands in school today?” Hopefully your child will then correct your misunderstandings about school by telling you something that really happened!
  • If your child doesn’t want to chat then tell them something about your day such as what you had for lunch. Then they can see the conversation modelled when you ask, “What did you eat today?”
  • Play a game when you get home from Nursery. Play for a few minutes and listen to your child as it can be amazing what snippets of their day they start to chat about when engaged in role play!
