Good morning Nursery!

It's the half term holidays tomorrow, so school and blogs will be closed for a week.

Have a go at this speech and language game today!

Look carefully at each of the animals below. What are they? What different body parts do they have? What colour are they? Ask a grown up to read the clues below and then pick the correct animal!

Liveable Streets - Bethnal Green

Dear Virginia pupils,
​
We need your help!!  In conjunction with Liveable Streets Bethnal Green, we would like you to make a short video to say what you  are looking forward to when changes are made in the area.

This could be centred around one of the following themes:

  • Fresh air – have you noticed a change in lockdown and do you think the changes outside your school will have an impact in the future?
  • Fresh air – Do you think the changes near your school will help to create cleaner air?
  • Are you looking forward to having a calmer environment outside your school next year once changes are in place?
  • Do you think the changes will make walking and cycling around your school safer and more enjoyable?
  • Any activities relating to the STARS programme e.g cycle training when you’re back at school
  • Would you like a school street outside your school?
 
**Your videos will be uploaded to the Liveable Streets website

 
https://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/lgnl/community_and_living/Liveable_Streets.aspx
 
Your videos must be no longer than 30 seconds. 

​Please send all videos to admin@virginia.towerhamlets.sch.uk by Wednesday 27th May ​

Good morning Nursery!

Take a look at the I-Spy board below.

Say what you can see in a big, clear voice. What sound do the words begin with?

I can see a p-p-pirate! Can you spot anything else beginning with the sound 'p'?

How many items can you spot that begin with the sound t?

What sound does your name begin with? Can you spot any items beginning with that sound?

My name is Lucy and I can see a lion!

Where can you find the number 4 in your home? Can you see it anywhere when you go outside?

Practise counting out 4 toys, 4 socks and 4 of anything else! Draw them out and colour them in.

Can you write the number 4?

Fine motor skills challenges

​​Fine motor skills involve the use of the small muscles that control the hand, fingers, and thumb. They help children perform important tasks like feeding themselves, grasping toys, buttoning and zipping clothes, writing, drawing, and more! The ability to complete self-care and every day tasks helps a child’s self esteem and confidence to increase. 

This is why we will be posting a variety of fine motor skills challenges to the blog for the children to complete at home.
