This term we are focusing on transition and independence. Our theme of the week has been focused on life on exploration.
Some of the things the children have enjoyed doing include:

• cotton bud painting
• making jelly for snack
• making rain gauges
• practising our cutting skills
• making flapjacks
• threading pasta
• making a human sundial
• phonics games and reading practice continue
• matching numerals to the correct number of objects and maths activities continue
• lots of fun painting, sticking, gluing and mark making fun
• lots of circle time and small group games
• lots of phonics activities
• making a tent outside
• having a nature walk
• exploring sensory play and messy play activities.

Please see some ideas attached.

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, Claire, Hannah, Lisa, Jackie and Adam
