Story of the week

This week the children have been listening to the story 'Busy People Vets'

You can listen to the story at home with your children by clicking this link.

Next week we are focusing on Hairdressers, if you have any pictures of your children at the hairdressers please do bring these in. 

Creative play

The children enjoyed painting outside. They practised their mark making, making big strokes with the brush. Some even painted some numbers. 

On the 25th, 26th and 27th of June our 3 & 4 year olds will be visiting Harold Hill Library to share stories and find out about the job of a librarian. We will still need parent volunteers so please let us know if you would like to join us on the trip.  

The children have been enjoying visiting our school library this half term in preparation for our visit. Each week the school librarians take a small group and they share stories together. This week the children enjoyed We're going on a Treasure Hunt' and 'Hooray for Fish'.

Outdoor learning

The children enjoyed using the parachute out in the garden. They were singing songs and following instructions to go under the parachute when their name was called. 

Fine motor control

The children have been practising their scissor control and making snips in the paper following the lines. Developing scissor skills is an important milestone in your child’s life.  By learning to use scissors they practice using a tripod grasp (using thumb, index and middle finger together) which then develops into the ideal grasp for writing.  It is important that your child uses the appropriate scissors for their dominant hand.

Many thanks,
