We have had another busy week with a lot of activities and a lot of wet play.

This week we have:

• read the ugly duckling and talked about kindness and being a good friend
• painting with brushes and bubble wrap
• navigated large puddles in the garden while in wellies and all in ones
• played a posting game which focused on number recognition

• focused on learning about 2d and 3d shapes
• played the 'what's missing?' game
• rode on bikes and scooters and chalked in the front playground
• played lots of phonics games
• practiced segmenting and blending with three letter phonic words
• threaded letter beads, matching three letter words to picture cards
• used the wipe boards to practice handwriting
• sung songs and danced to action songs
• enjoyed listening to various stories
• played at looking after each other while role playing hospitals
• talked about going to the dentist and looking after our teet
• learnt about Veska, the birthday of Buddha and how this is celebrated around the world
• made pictures for our display boards
• role played hairdressers as well as the baby clinic and discussed our health and self care skills

As usual the weekly blog represents a snapshot of what most of the children participate in during the week. Please speak to your child's key person if you would like to have further information about your child's interests and progress. You are welcome to ask your key person for feedback at any time and book a time to have a meeting for feedback on how your child is progressing.

Hoping you all have a lovely weekend.

Best wishes, Julia, Grace, Sharon, Lisa, Hannah, Jackie and Amy
