Nursery: How do you make Currant Buns?

In Nursery, we have enjoyed celebrating World Nursery Rhyme Week. Experts in literacy and child development have discovered that if children know eight nursery rhymes by heart by the time they are four years old, they are usually amongst the best readers by the time they are eight. Therefore, we have been focussing on a new rhyme each day to ensure that the children are able to sing at least four rhymes. On Monday, we sang Twinkle, twinkle, little star, on Tuesday we sang Old MacDonald, on Wednesday, we sang Five Currant Buns and on Thursday, we sang The Big Ship Sails on the Ally Ally Oh. On Friday, the children all looked fabulous when they came to Nursery dressed as their favourite Nursery Rhyme. The children were very confident to talk about their favourite rhyme and some of them wowed us when they were confident to stand up and sing their rhyme to the rest of their key worker group. We have enjoyed many activities based on these rhymes but the highlight of the week was definitely, when the children got to make their own currant buns. Please continue to practise singing these nursery Rhymes at home.
