A Little Reminder 👕

Please ensure that your child has a spare set of clothes in school, kept in a drawstring bag.

This week, the children have been busy exploring their creativity through painting and colour mixing. They have enjoyed experimenting with different colours, discovering what happens when they mix them together, and watching new colours appear.

The children have also been practising an important independence skill, putting on their own aprons before getting started. It has been lovely to see them becoming more confident as they learn to prepare themselves for creative activities.

The children have also been enjoying lots of fun outdoor water play. They have been rolling balls down the gutter and watching carefully as they travel into the water tank.

This activity has encouraged the children to explore movement, speed and cause and effect as they experimented with how the balls moved. They also enjoyed taking turns and repeating the activity, building their confidence and developing their coordination along the way.

The children have been busy in the construction area, using skewers and wheels to create their own cards. They have been exploring how different materials can be joined together and experimenting with how the wheels move.

It has been wonderful to see their imagination and problem-solving skills developing as they designed, built and adapted their creations. They have also been strengthening their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination as they carefully handled the materials.

The children have been enjoying lots of sensory fun outdoors, mixing foam in the tuff tray. They explored the different textures, scooped and stirred the foam, and enjoyed watching it change as they mixed it together.

This activity encouraged the children to use their senses, develop their fine motor skills and explore different ways of mixing and combining materials. Most importantly, they had lots of fun getting messy and experimenting together!

The children have been practising jumping safely from the equipment in the garden. They have been developing their balance, coordination and gross motor skills while learning how to jump, land safely and move with confidence.

It has been lovely to see the children encouraging one another and building their confidence as they challenge themselves through physical play. They have been learning to assess their movements, listen to safety guidance and enjoy being active outdoors.
