Hello children,
I hope you are all fun and staying safe!
This week we would have been doing lots of activities linked to the nursery rhyme ‘Hickory dickory dock’.
Sing the rhyme together. Here are the words to remind you.
Hickory Dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down,
Hickory Dickory dock.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Can you remember any other versus of the song that we sing in nursery?
Hickory Dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck two
The mouse went boo!
Hickory Dickory dock.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Hickory Dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck three
The mouse went whee!
Hickory Dickory dock.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Hickory Dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck four
The mouse said no more
Hickory Dickory dock.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Here is another version of Hickory dickory dock to watch. What other animals went up the clock?
Make a clock face. Draw a big circle on a piece of paper or use a paper plate. Get an adult to help write the numbers on the clock face. What numbers can you see? You could make a big hand and a small hand out of two strips of paper/card (you could use a box from your recycling if you don’t have any card/paper).
Can you find any clocks in your house? How many clocks can you find? Are they all the same?
Phonics
Gather a selection of objects from around your house and place them on the floor. Adult to ask the child for one of the objects emphasising and repeating the first sound in object. For example. can you pass me the p,p,p,p,pig. Once child has found the object say the first sound together- p is for pig.
Have fun and we miss you!
