This week we have been continuing our topic 'all about me'.
Our theme of the week has been maths. Some of the things the children have enjoyed doing include:

• creating a height chart with all of the playgroup children
• lots of counting games, songs and activities
• lots of number recognition to 10 games and number rhymes
• looking at quantities and groups that have 'more' or 'less'
• making shapes with play dough
• exploring shapes, building with them, naming them and creating puzzles with them
• forming numbers and shapes on wipe boards and paper
• sticking with different colours and shapes
• looking at patterns and recreating them and also repeating patterns
• enjoying looking after for and caring for babies in role play
• lots of stories, listening games and looking at books
• playing ball and hoop games in the garden
• chalking and mark making outside
• playing 'what's the time Mr Wolf'
• lots of free art, the children have chosen painting, colouring and gluing among other things this week
• using lots of mathematical language in play, sorting objects in length and size
  
  

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, Hannah, Lisa, Jackie and Adam
