Greenvale Infant and Nursery School

Hello!

Ssh! I'm playing a game! I have to pretend to be asleep! I'm in my castle and I've been asleep for a hundred years, hang on a minute, this is sounding like the story of Sleeping Beauty. That won't do. Can you make up a new story? Perhaps a Woody, Luna and Jovi version with lots of things that dogs love in it? Perhaps Luna comes in and wakes me up to play chase? Use your imagination and make up your own story to act out, draw or play with your toys.

It's always fun to mix up traditional tales, which other stories can you change around in your games?

Happy playing,

Woody

Hi Everyone,

If you're at home with younger brothers and sisters, remember to be gentle and patient with them. It can get tricky sharing your things. If they really want something that you have, try offering them something different to play with. It is worth remembering that they'll only play with it for a short time and then you can carry on with your own game. 

I always try my best to share with Luna and Jovi, it's why we have so much fun.

Luna! Jovi! Help! Could you write a story to help me escape?

Maybe this isn't a scary situation .... perhaps the cows are trying to say hello? Could you tell your story by drawing a set of pictures? What do you think is happening?

I can't wait to hear the stories you create.

Happy story telling,

Hi there, Woody here!

Luna and I have been practising keeping 2 metres apart when we go out to exercise. Are you remembering to do this? Do you know how far 2 metres is? Look for a tape measure at home and investigate. How many Jovi's could you fit in that space? Find out about other animal sizes.... how many other animals could fit into a 2 metre distance?

Happy estimating!

Hi there,
This is me when I was little. What did you look like when you were younger? Spend some time with your family looking through your photos. Talk about funny moments and special days. What other memories do your photos bring back?

Enjoy some happy chat with your loved ones.

Woody and Jovi visited Greenvale recently and were searching for all the children.  They were so sad to see the school so empty and missed their good friend Luna.  When they heard that all of you had to keep busy at home they decided to give you some different challenges to do if you wish.  Jovi wanted to go first!

As the sun has been shining lately he thought it would be great for you to go on a nature hunt in your garden or if you go outside for your daily exercise.  Of course you could also do this inside.  Look for something to represent each letter of the alphabet.  Then take a picture or draw that image.  Use these to create your own ABC book.  You could add words and other facts too.  If you wish to bring these in once the school reopens you can as Jovi would love to see them and they would be useful to use for our new Nursery and Reception children next year.  Happy ABC hunting!
