This week has been a great week for following the child.
This week we have:

• continued to learn about healthy eating and created a new display board reflecting this
• visited the primary school field for sports, I-spy and 'going on a bear hunt'
• a group activity based on sorting shapes, counting and estimating quantity
• painted with sponges
• made an obstacle course in the garden
• played ball games and football
• discussed people who help us, such as police officers, and talked about being safe by roads and crossing the road
• learnt the properties of shapes and sang a shape song
• played phonics games such as 'crossing the river'
• played listening games
• sang songs
• completed a phonics activity on wipe boards and copied recognisable letters
• introduced basic addition on our maths tuff tray as well as counting objects and finding matching numerals
• role played doctors in the home corner
• looked at the life cycle books
• developed our fine motor skills using pegs and tweezers
• sat as a group and talked about pictures showing faces of different emotions and talked about how we felt
• had fun role playing various things in the garden from going on buses, treasure hunts and being construction workers and superheroes
• had fun with craft materials, gluing, painting, making paper people and cutting
• had lots of fun dressing up

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
