This week has been a snowy one and the children have enjoyed playing in the garden and appreciating the fun that can be had making snowmen and snowballs. There have been a lot of activities this week focusing as usual on the seven areas of development as well as focusing on the childrens interests.
This week we have:

• sorted healthy and unhealthy foods
• learnt about the life cycle of a chicken
• talking about what makes us happy
• playing in the snow!
• mark making
• lots of listening games
• making up a rap as part of a rhyming phonics activity
• making up a dance
• painting
• recognising a number, finding the matching number on our mystery box and then completing an action that was placed inside the numbered drawer
• using the wipe boards and name cards, copying one letter at a time to guess whose name we were writing
• guess the missing object in our mystery game
• painting with different textures
• read the story Goldilocks and the three bears followed by an activity where there are cards held up and the children have to see what is on the card and do the action
• phonics songs
• playing instruments to make sounds that link to a story
• action songs
• action games
• made name place mats
• lots of outdoor fun

We hope that you all stay safe and well and we look forward to seeing you next week.
Best wishes, Julia, Grace, Sharon, Hannah, Lisa, Jackie and Amy.
