Nursery Rhymes

This week in nursery, we have focused our learning around the nursery rhymes Humpty Dumpty and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Being able to recite lots of nursery rhymes is such an important pre-reading skill. 
The younger children have been learning to sing the rhymes and fill in the missing rhyming words when I pause singing. The older children have been learning to hear rhyming words through filling in the missing words in different versions such as "Humpty Dumpty sat on a chair, Humpty Dumpty combed his...…." They have also been making silly soup using rhyming words including cat, mat, rat, hat and dog, log and frog. 
All of us have enjoyed singing rhymes and playing our musical instruments to accompany the words.
