• gone on a name hunt and practised writing our names
• enjoyed maths and phonics activities
• enjoyed fine motor activities to develop pencil control
• talked about healthy food and what to put in a lunchbox
• practised our cutting skills and mark making
• enjoyed counting and number games and rhymes
• enjoyed lots of outside play
• numbered pictures and practised number formation
• listened to initial sounds
• moved to music and enjoyed action songs
• enjoyed dancing and listening to music
• had lots of stories, looked at books and had a lot of fun in the craft area painting, drawing and sticking

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 and Amy
