Our theme of the week has been based on the fairy-tale 'Billy Goats Gruff'.
Some of the things the children have enjoyed doing include:

• building bridges with wooden blocks for model goats
• painting troll masks
• acting out the story as a group
• drawing maps on paper and programming bee bots to follow the paths
• moving our bodies in a yoga session
• playing phonics lotto matching three letter words to pictures
• lots of mark making and hand writing practice
• developing fine motor skills by completing mazes
• lots of stories, listening games and looking at books
• maths activities including counting and number recognition games and size ordering
• counting pictures and writing numerals
• developing emotional development through the musical bee bots
• story telling basket play based on three billy goats gruff
• listening games
• balancing outside in the garden on stepping stones
• made a fireman's pole and creations with wood outside
• played a three billy goats
• lots of child initiated play and free art

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
