Super Stories We Have Been Sharing in Nursery

Phase 1 Phonics - Aspect 1 Environmental Sounds

We are listening to stories to help us talk about sounds that we can hear in the environment.

'Walking Through the Jungle' by Julie Lacome Can predict which animal is making the sound?

'Peace at Last' by Jill Murphy An environmental sounds story. Can you remember what sounds kept Mr Bear awake?

'Whatever Next!' by Jill Murphy What sounds can you remember from the story?

'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' An environmental sounds story. Can you remember the sounds the family made in the story?

'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' retold by Michael Rosen An environmental sounds story with BSL sigh language

'We're Going on a Lion Hunt' by David Axtell An environmental sounds story. How is this the same or different to 'We're going on a Bear Hunt?

Autumn Stories

We have started talking about the signs of autumn that we can see and exploring some autumn treasures in class. We would love to add your autumn treasures to our collection or you could send a photo to the Nursery email address of any signs of autumn that you have spotted when you are out and about or any autumn celebrations, like Halloween or Bonfire Night that you take part in.

'Home Before Dark' by Ian Beck Can you see any signs of autumn in the illustrations?

'Owl Babies' by Martin Waddell Who was in the story? What was the problem?

Rod Campbell Stories

We have been sharing Rod Campbell lift the flap stories with the children, encouraging them to predict what may be hiding under the flap and to have a go at joining in with some of the repeating phrases. Reading familiar stories frequently is very valuable for children this age and is something that we will be doing thorough this year. It has been great to see the children starting to join in with some of the repeating phrases and looking at the books independently already.
