• outside we have been riding bikes and scooters
• we have developed fine motor skills by doing pencil control activities
• every day we have been doing phonic activities and maths number games and number recognition
• we have made biscuits
• we have enjoyed doing lots of puzzles
• built lots of models with duplo
