Welcome to Hyde Park Corner

Hello and welcome to Hyde Park Corner's Class Page.

In Hyde Park Corner we love to learn through play! 

    Any child's first year at school is the most important stage of their schooling journey. This year provides children with the skills and foundations necessary to later progress onto a more formal approach to learning as they move their way through the school. Our nursery offers children lots of opportunities to learn and explore through play within our continually changing provision areas (indoors and outdoors). The children will learn through a mixture of adult led and child initiated learning, both of which are equally important in helping children develop.

PE: Our sports session will be every Thursday morning. At this time, the children will not need a PE kit although they will be encouraged to take off their shoes and socks to participate.

Home learning online resources. 

Below are a selection of fun on-line resources and activities you and your child can do together.

Please also make use of PurpleMash, this is a great resource that covers a wide range of topics.

Home learning ideas. 

*go on a bug hunt, can you count all of the bugs you have found?

*follow a set of instructions to bake a cake.

*cut up some 2D shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and build a picture.

*Use some child friendly scissors to snip at pieces of card / magazines / paper

*make some playdough https://www.learning4kids.net/2015/06/23/microwave-play-dough-recipe/ 

*draw a picture or use some paints, this will help your fine motor skills! 

*look at pictures in a book- can you tell a story or guess what might happen next?

*play catch with a ball or go on a bike ride to help improve your gross motor skills

*clip clothes pegs onto objects- this will make your fingers nice and strong

*collect fallen leaves and sticks to make a seasonal collage

Dough Disco.

In Hyde Park Corner we love Dough Disco.

Dough Disco is a great activity for helping us to develop our fine motor skills. It strengthens the muscles in our hands and develops our hand-eye co-ordination which will later enable us to hold a pencil correctly and use it effectively. These are essential skills that we need to later be able to write.
