This week, we are thinking about babies in celebration of our new addition!
Our stories this week, as every week, all help to support literacy development and phase one of Letters and Sounds, which encourages children’s developing phonics skills.
Please see the plan on our Parent Noticeboard in the conservatory to see which aspect each book hopes to develop and which story each group has each day.
Our Rhyme of the Week has been planned to support children who are learning to count objects, giving one number name for each object touched. We will be saying the rhyme slowly to allow the children time to show each finger as it is counted. We’re hoping it will give all those hard working fingers a really good stretch too!
I Can Count
I can count, want to see?
Here are my fingers- one, two, three (Hold up fingers as you count)
Four and five, this hand is done.
Now I’ll count the other one.
Six, seven, eight and nine (Hold up fingers on other hand)
Just one more, I’m doing fine.
The last little finger is number ten.
Now I’ll count them all again.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
