Our book of the week this week has been Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister.
As this week at school has also been Anti-Bullying week, our book of the week helped us to consider friendships and kind actions. This supported us to learn more about what Anti-Bullying week is, whilst developing our personal, social and emotional development. This week we also completed activities that reminded us how to be a kind friend and how we can help others when they feel sad.
To further support our literacy learning, we created our own Rainbow Fish!
We started in groups by looking at our book of the week, reminding ourselves about how Rainbow Fish had scales of every colour, including his special shimmering scales that all of his friends asked him to share.
To create their own Rainbow Fish, Nursery started by putting glue onto their fish and using the small colourful squares as scales. Nursery did so well to pick up the small squares, using their fine motor skills to pinch and stick onto their fish. Then the children used the glue spreaders to place the runny glue between their new scales, ready to make some shimmery scales by sprinkling lots of glitter!
This was such a fun creative activity and Nursery enjoyed all the different steps to creating a fun and shiny Rainbow Fish. We will hang Nursery’s beautiful fish in our classroom!
Throughout the week we have been acting out the story of the Rainbow Fish, and different ways we can all be kind friends to one another. Well done Nursery!
