• enjoying action games, dancing and singing
• lots of mark making and hand writing practice
• enjoying shape puzzles
• making paper lanterns
• making valentines cards and craft

• developing fine motor skills tweezing pom poms
• talking time about what we did at the weekend

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
