Easter Homework 2019

Here are some of our children with the certificates they received for completing brilliant homework through the Easter Break. Well done to all our children for their hard work.

This week at Nightingale we have been learning about people who help us, we learnt about the Police, Doctors and Fire fighters. The children took part in different role play activities alongside themed learning in Literacy and Maths. The children used their craft skills and team work to make a fire engine out of cardboard boxes. Bromley Fire dept cam to see us, we all took turns to use the hose and sit inside the fire engine. We also had a talk from the Fire Fighters about what they do and equipment they wear.

The children enjoyed spending their day baking Easter themed treats to take home! The children made a big cake, chocolate nests and iced Easter biscuits. The children helped their teachers to measure out the ingredients, decorate the treats and display them on the table. The children were so excited to show their parents at home time and loved choosing what treat they wanted to take home.

The Easter Bunny came to Nightingale !!! We were so lucky the children all took part in our Easter Egg Hunt. They had to crawl through tunnels, go over bridges and down slides. Along the way they had to find the letter of their name, Dig for a Bunny in the sawdust, find a chick in the straw and find a small egg that they put into their Easter Baskets they had made the week before. At the end of the Easter Egg trail they could enter the toys house at to find their Easter Egg !!
Everyone had a great time.

We used our maths skills to measure each of our height, we then cut a ribbon to the height we are. Some of our friends are taller some are smaller !
We then wrapped up the ribbon and put it inside a love heart for a lovely Mothers Day gift. We then used our pen control and writing skills to write our names on the card .

The staff and children enjoyed dressing in red and wearing red noses to celebrate Comic Relief Red nose Day. We also decorated biscuits as faces with red cherries for noses. The children made play dough. We added red food dye, using their fine motor skills rolled them into balls to create red noses.

Storm Gareth wasn’t going to spoil our fun at St Marys this week! We collected sticks and twigs from the garden and made windy wands by taping different coloured tissue paper to the sticks and waving them in the wind in our garden.

Today is World Book Day! All the children and staff at Imperial have made a great effort dressing up and have had lots of fun. The children brought their story books in from home to read with all their friends and they have been creating their very own bookmarks to take home. Well done everyone!!

To celebrate pancake day, the children weighed the flour, cracked the eggs and mixed the ingredients to make pancakes. The children then ate them at snack time. We made playdough and pretended it was pancakes, rolling with rolling pins and flipping them in the pans. We practiced our scissor control and discussed healthy and unhealthy toppings to add to our pancakes.

Our theme of the term is ‘Shark in the Park’. Today Pre-school created their very own telescopes and was able to recite and repeat different parts of the story book with great confidence. Throughout the day, all the children have been acting out the story and hunting for sharks and can’t wait to take their telescopes home. To further develop this theme the children are currently creating their own version of the ‘Shark in the park’ book with lots of their drawings and fantastic writing! Well done Pre-school.

On Sunday 13th January, we embarked on a 20K walk to raise money for Great Ormand Street Hospital for children. We travelled across London all the way to Vauxhall and back again. It was a cold day but so rewarding, we raised over £100 for this great cause and we are very proud of this achievement! We are looking to do many more events for charity throughout the year.

We’re going on a Bear Hunt is our themed story this term and last week the children helped to make a board game. They stuck on cotton wool for snow, Glitter and brown tissue for the mud, Painted the Long Swishy grass, used tissue paper for the river and stuck on leaves and twigs for the forest. This week they have been enjoying playing the game with the Dice and little people walking along the path to the bear cave at the end that they also made.
