Nursery rhyme challenge week

This week the nursery children are taking part in a Nursery Rhyme Challenge Week. Each day we have been learning a new nursery rhyme and complete challenges to do with each rhyme.

 

We started on Tuesday with Humpty Dumpty. After sharing this rhyme with the children we looked at the different materials in our construction area to see what we could build a wall out of. Once the walls had been built children could be heard retelling the rhyme using small world characters provided too!

 

 

 

 

 

On Wednesday we learnt " A sailor went to sea." It was really hard to clap  and tap in rhythm to the beat but after a few goes the children began to pick it.  Our challenge today was to use the under water sponges to create sea scenes of all the things a sailor might have seen at sea.

 

 

 

 

Today, we learnt "I'm a little teapot" and explored how many  scoops of water we needed to fill the big teapot on the water trolley and practiced singing the words whilst playing with the teapots and cups.

 

 

 

 

Tomorrow we will be learning our final rhyme of the week   "Round and round the garden".

Words to the songs are available for anyone who would like them on the parent table ( next to the sharing book) in the Nursery.
