We've had a fun and active Literacy week. Looking at signs, new and old books for story time both inside and out. Lots of mark making using pens, crayons, chalks and shaving foam! We've been improving our writing and copying our names. Matching pictures with similar sounds and listening and saying the initial letter of words too.
This week we've focused on our physical development but still following the childrens interests. We've used our fine motor skills to manipulate play dough, using scissors and threading pipe cleaners We've been to the park to climb, run, jump and balance to develop our gross motor skills. Health and self-care also comes under physical development so we visited the Whole Foods store to compare healthy foods, select nuts and seeds and weighed them too (bit of Maths thrown in there!) We talked about which are the healthy foods and which aren't. |
