Nursery Rhyme Week 'Miss Polly'

Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick sick sick 

So she phoned for the doctor to come quick quick quick 

The doctor came with his bag and his hat 

And he knocked on the door with a rat a tat tat

He looked at the dolly and he shook his head 

And he said miss Polly put her straight to bed 

She wrote on her paper for a pill pill pill

Ill be back in the morning yes i will will will 

Today the children had a first aid kit and helped to look after the dolls who were feeling poorly 

Sapphire was every good at taking care of her doll. 

Numbers with Numicon

Today Yellow group have been focusing on matching numerals to the correct quantities. To support this we used numicon. Numicon is a resource, which supports children's maths development throughout the setting.

 

Ollie began by independently categorising the heap of farm animals. He collected the pigs and used his finger to touch each one as he counts '1, 2' Ollie looks at practitioner 'we got 2 Charlotte's' Ollie looks at the pieces of numicon 1 -5 and begins to count placing his finger through each hole. Ollie counts 2. 'this is 2 the same as them' pointing to the pigs. Ollie then continues to categorise the farm animals. Ollie is able to correctly and independently match them all up working out problems as they occur 'this one is not the same as the horses' Ollie counts again 'silly me its number 4 not 5'

 

 

 

 

Summer was able to identify numerals 1- 5 in a random order and match the numicon pieces with ease

 

 

Rumaisa categorised the animals into piles and led them all down. Rumaisa correctly identified how many were in each set  matching the correct numicon pieces. Rumaisa was also able to recognised the numerals 1 and 3

 

 

Florence was very quick at matching the numicon pieces to the correct numerals 1-5. Florence then independently matched the numerals 6 - 10 to the correct numicon pieces.
