Dinosaurs Nursery Week 4 Communication & Language Literacy This week we will read the story of Harry and his bucket full of dinosaurs and discuss how Harry felt when he lost his dinosaurs. The children will think of a time when they have lost something and describe how they felt. Personal, Social, Emotional Development Our SEAL topic is – Good to Be Me. The theme is about understanding our feelings as well as considering our strengths and weaknesses as learners. It aims to develop knowledge, understanding and skills in three key social and emotional aspects of learning: self-awareness, managing feelings and empathy. We will talk about the things that we are really good at which will make us feel proud of ourselves. This week we will hear a story about someone who was very excited and think of ways to help us stay calm before accidents happen. Physical Development We will continue to do our finger and upper body exercises in dough gym. In PE this week we will be changing the words to ‘We’re going on a Bear Hunt’ to ‘We’re going on a Dinosaur Hunt’. If your child has a pair of binoculars that they would like to bring in on Wednesday for P.E then they can, it might help them with their hunt. On our fine motor table we will be using our fingers to pinch tools in order to move objects. .
