We have continued settling the children into our routine, they are all doing really well and are starting to remember if they are an apple or a banana.
The boat has been decorated to look like the Jolly Roger and we have been invaded by pirates. We have been on a magical voyage, walked the plank and been on a treasure hunt in the sand where the children have counted how many items they could find.
Our “rainbows” now have their book bags and are swapping their books once a week in our library.
In the play dough we have been using twigs and leaves to make models. Some children rolled the dough to make the initial of their name and then went on to explore our letter bags.
We have explored many different ways to paint including marble rolling, printing and creating pictures using a salad spinner. These have been used to make a colourful display.
Outside we have been encouraging the children to catch and bounce balls, building up their big muscles in readiness for mark making. The children are also enjoying dancing to “Lets go swimming” by Laurie Berkner.
